Sports Rhetoric
Pubic rhetoric is used in our everyday lives and we often at times don’t always recognise it. Last night, February 6, 2019, I was watching the Golden State v.s. Spurs basketball game. After the game was over I continued watching the post game interview to see what the valuable player, Kevin Durant, had to say about the game. Furthermore, I noticed that the sports interviewers were using public rhetoric to get information and entertainment out of Durant. Coincidentally, rhetoric is used all throughout basketball games from the use of metaphors from broadcast commentators to even what is being displayed on the LED jumbotron during the game. A source from https://medium.com/@lizzyboshears/the-rhetoric-of-sports-communication-4b82adc6f1a9 goes onto say. “The goal of the jumbotron is to keep the crowd both “engaged and energized” throughout the game, and is the prime source of focusing entertainment during timeouts and in between quarters through trivia games, player fun facts, and statistics from simultaneous games in the NBA (Greenwald 2014).” [165 words, 1 quotation, 1 link, 2 pictures]
