The sports page records people's accomplishments, the front

Summary

This quote emphasizes the contrasting nature of sports news and mainstream news. While the sports page is dedicated to celebrating people's achievements and accomplishments, the front page typically focuses on highlighting the failures and shortcomings of individuals. This highlights the trend of negative news garnering more attention in mainstream media, as sensationalized failures tend to overshadow the positive aspects of human endeavors. It suggests that society's obsession with failure and downfall may contribute to a somewhat skewed perspective on reality.
