They Say I Say – Exercise 1

Upon finding an article for this exercise, I found a few articles relate to sport.  First article caught my eyes is titled, “Steph Curry, Tom Brady, Serena Williams and others celebrate Father’s Day.” This article comes to my attention because today is Father’s Day. Also, I am interested in this article because the Golden States Warriors won the NBA Championship in 2015.  In this particular article by Cindy Boren, she knows that a lot of Golden State Warrior fans care about every single movement of Steph Curry. Therefore, it does not matter if the answer to “so what?” is valid or not, there are people who care about Steph Curry because he is a MVP basketball player. The first sentence in Boren’s article might be the answer to the “so what?” question. Boren states, “Plenty of athletes shared Father’s Day messages and wishes Sunday, but, to no one’s great surprise, the best may have come from Stephen Curry.” The writer specifically point out that Stephen Curry is a unique person in comparison to many other athletes.  Seemingly, the writer illustrates that Curry is not only a fantastic athlete but also an amazing father.  The strategy of using other people or things to compare the people or things that we want to exalt is a great way to answer the “so what” question. The titile of the second article that I found The Washinton Post is called, “LeBron James on NBA Finals loss: ‘I’m still in a little Funk.’” Even though the writer, Cindy Boren, does not answer the “so what?” question, we know that a lot of people, especially, people who live in Cleveland care about how the CAVS did in the NBA finals and LeBron James.
