The Sport

Ever since I’ve been with my fella, He’s always rushed off to the shop on a Sunday morning to buy The Sunday Sport, and that’s not all, he arrives home every day from work with his flask, his lunch box and the Daily Sport folded neatly under his arm. To be honest I think it keeps him sane, or his he just a pathetic male that likes to read outrageous stories and look at naked women during his lunch breaks. I must admit I sometimes browse through it to see what wild stories they have printed for the day. (Maybe the queen has been video taped using the rampant rabbit vibrater ... more

“I was abducted by a Spaceship and Alien doctors probed me and enlarged my boobs” – said 19 year old blonde model Maria (36HH) from Hunstanton. This and other wholly unbelievable ‘stories’ are the kind of ‘tat’ can be found within the pages of the infamous Daily Sport. Just about anything to do with Sex, Soaps, Cel;ebrities – some of it is even true….not much I grant you. They will put a certain ‘spin’ on any kind of story. You’ll see headlines like “Coronation Street star in drugs bust” or “Soccer star ... more

The Daily and Sunday Sport are not exactly everyone's cup of tea but for raising a smile this paper cannot be beaten. The Daily Sport costs 40p so is slightly more expensive than most main stream papers however the Sunday Sport costs 65p which is more competitively priced but neither are going to break the bank. They are titled Sport but only eight pages of the sixty odd pages mention sport, the vast majority of the paper is devoted to sex and sexually related themes - not necassarily a bad thing. Half of one page devotes itself to a crossword, mini-quiz and a word puzzle but these are ... more

The Sport is a 'news'paper aimed at the lowest common denominator. It is the anti-broadsheet tabloid- the logical polar swing from The Times or Guardian, and should be taken as such. The problem with The Sport, it would seem, is that is judged on the standards of the jounalism contained therein, where it should be judged as an entertaining diversion. It contains none of the opinionated editorials or serious analysis that can be so offensive in The Mail or similar Right/Left wing papers... no knee-jerk reactionary statements or self-importance like the oft compared News Of The World.

I suppose as a woman I am expected to be offended by the Sport. Well, shock horror, I am not. In saying that what I really mean is that I am no more offended by the sport than I am by glossy mens mags and channel five programmes. What people need to realise is that the Sport is NOT a newspaper. The Sport is purely an entertainment publication, much the same as an adult comic. The masquerade as a newspaper is really a clever marketing trick designed to make it 'socially acceptable' to read this sort of stuff. I have read the Sport a few times and have had a good laugh at it. But as I say, just ... more
