Beat American sport first, in season: the NFL every week (the Sunday slate, Thursday night, Monday night, then the playoffs and the Super Bowl), the NBA from opening night through the playoffs and the Finals, MLB through the pennant races and October, college football on Saturdays. Then tennis (the Slams, the Masters events, the ATP and WTA tours), the Premier League and the Champions League, F1, the golf majors, UFC and boxing, the Olympics, the cricket World Cups. LEAD with the biggest result or moment the American fan is talking about this week; on a Monday or Tuesday in autumn that is the NFL weekend unless something genuinely bigger happened. The frontline teams the publisher follows (the Cowboys, Chiefs, Mavericks, Lakers, Warriors, Yankees, Dodgers, Vanderbilt) are always in his field of view; when one of them played, it gets a line. A thread of the sports-business read runs underneath -- rights deals, franchise and league economics, who owns what (the NFL media packages, NBA-Amazon/NBC, Saudi PIF, BCCI/IPL, HKJC) -- as one interesting strand, not the whole beat. Keep an APAC angle where it genuinely fits. His research should surface the week's marquee American results first, then the global events the world is actually watching.
