Wednesday night at Stadium Study, Juan Carlos Rivero featured a collaborator from the show to speak about the personality of champions. The way to give way already indicated a certain professional laziness: “Andres Paris He is a sports coach. He is the man who tells us more or less how things are going ”. “The man who tells us more or less how things are going” is the same as saying almost nothing and shows apathy for the use of language, which is something in which journalism should never be lazy. Rivero commented that the collaborator would talk about the differential features of some champions and gave the badminton champion as an example Carolina Marin. And Andrés Paris began his spiel: “This week Carolina Marín won again, I don’t know what championships they were, but she won again.” And Rivero agreed: “Yes, the Toyota I don’t know how many.” And the football coach finished by approximation: “Yes, there in Thailand.”
This is called sloppiness. Carolina Marín had won the Thailand Open ten days ago and that same afternoon began with a victory the World Tour Finals, a championship that, by the way, is broadcast on Teledeporte these days, the same chain as Estudio Estadio but that the presenter seems to care about. This informative apathy highlights, on the one hand, the lack of interest generated by what is not football. And also, the lack of motivation: you may not know it but you can worry about looking for it if you are going to mention it. Taking into account that it is a program that at the time was a milestone in sports information, it also shows what we have lost along the way: rigor, motivation, demand … It is not that it is a lack of respect for Carolina Marín , is that it is also a disregard for the viewer. The guest coach said that the personality of the champions was characterized by not getting tired of winning, not getting tired of learning and being determined and optimistic people. Some virtues that the program lacks. Study Stadium is tired. The program works by inertia, by routine and based on easy resources rather than convincing the viewer through quality, public service and a job well done.
Advantages of confinement
On Wednesday, in the Almería-Osasuna of the Copa del Rey round of 16, we could hear perfectly how the match referee, Jaime Latre, gave instructions to the goalkeepers of both teams on where to stand when they did not act and the VAR procedure during the penalty shoot-out. These are moments that we could not hear with the stadium full of public but that serve to provide insights into the dynamics of the game.
