Can you please also fix any spelling errors and point out something that doesnt make sense... thank you Media Investigation – Language in Sports Good Morning/Afternoon *********** and fellow Class Members. Today I have chosen the following articles, “Hurricanes vs. Waratahs Match Report,†as article 1 and, “HSBC Waratahs kick off 2009 with Bonus Point Victory!†as article 2, both about the first match of the Rugby Union Season. These articles are being used to show different examples of positive and negative writing angles in the language of Sports. The articles were written to inform readers about the match that took place between the HSBC Waratahs and Hurricanes on the 13th of February at Westpac Stadium in Wellington. The Waratahs are a New South Whales Rugby Union Team, based in Sydney and were Australia’s first Union Team, founded in 1865. The Hurricanes are a New Zealand team, based in Wellington and were formed in late 1995, early 1996. The first article follows a negative perspective of the match practically suggesting that the Waratahs win was simple luck and although the Hurricanes lost they played extremely well. The writer's tone set a negative discourse throughout the article, using words and phrases such as: “Charged down a scrambling Beale...†“Hurricanes came storming back...†“Deservedly, the Hurricanes closed the deficit...†and “They kept pressing hard on attack...†These examples help to shape our reading and understanding of the match in a variety of ways. Certain words like charged or pressing hard are used to help create a picture in our minds of the Hurricanes working hard and pushing themselves to play their absolute best. Other words, such as scrambling, create an image of Beale or another Waratah player scrambling for the ball. While writing this story the author intended that the article be written for Hurricane Supporters, using words that would keep their fans from backing another team and attempting to get across to them that although their team lost they are exceptional players and there is a great chance that the Hurricanes will win most of their games for the rest of the season. The author also bases the game around the Hurricanes and how well they played barely touching any good points about the Waratahs. Through reading this article the audience, depending on which team they support, is supposed to feel that they have made an excellent decision in backing the Hurricanes and although the Waratahs team won it doesn’t mean they need to support them, they instead feel proud of the Hurricanes and are filled with anticipation. The Second Article was written using a negative outlook exaggerating how well the Waratahs played in their first game of the season even though the Hurricanes held up a strong defence. In this article, the author wrote with an extremely positive discourse, using words and phrases such as: “Triumphing...†“Waratahs defence remained steadfast...†“Beale sliced through the defensive line...†and “Dominated...†These words and phrases help to form our reading and understanding of the match in various ways. Descriptive words like sliced through and steadfast assist us in shaping images in our minds of Waratah players attacking and defending to the best of their ability in a way that no other team could. Additional words such as Triumphing and dominated create a picture of players defeating Hurricane members. This story was written with Waratah supporters in mind, using words that suggest their team is made up of outstanding players and it assists in making sure that fans continue backing the Waratahs, allowing the audience to truly believe that they have a very high chance in winning most of their games for the rest of the season. This author barely writes about a team playing badly throughout the article because the more outstanding it sounds when describing how well the Hurricanes played, the better the Waratahs are made out to be. When the audience is reading this account it is expected that, depending whether they support the Waratahs or not, they feel proud and supportive of their team. It makes them experience a sense of admiration knowing that they’re supporting a winning team, and not only are they winners but they are also extraordinary players. The reason behind both articles being written using completely different angles is article one was written by a Hurricanes supporter and article two was written by a Waratahs supporter. Both authors are inclined to write about the team they back as they believe that they are the better team and have more superior players.

Remember, though, that I did this at 5:00 A.M.; there may be mistakes. Also, I didn't fix the run-on sentences.
