Meaning
This reads as a defense of sports as storytelling. It suggests that games and seasons carry the shape of narrative, with conflict, character, and an ending that gives events meaning, which is why fans can follow them like novels. It lands when someone is explaining why a season feels larger than a scoreline, because it turns competition into drama.
