A Very Flawed List of Great Sports Stuff in 2022 – The Wall Street Journal

It’s that time of year, when newspaper columnists put out their Best of the Year lists. I’d love to tell you this is a rigorous, close-to-scientific process. It isn’t. Lists are a Get Out of Town gimmick for columnists to bank material before going on a holiday ski vacation.

My problem is, I don’t ski. Also: I can’t ski. The sad truth is I wrote this list this morning, to avoid doing the rest of last night’s dishes from Christmas dinner. I’m not saying it’s a perfect list. It most definitely isn’t. It has significant omissions. It might even have spelling mistakes. What do you care? You’re on a holiday ski vacation.
