Football Report – At the Source of a Genre
Sprawozdanie piłkarskie – u źródeł gatunku
Résumé
The article characterizes the football match reports published in Sports Review in 1921. An
analysis of the material collected reveals a number of characteristics in the interwar text, i.e., limited
imagery, concreteness/discursive juxtaposition, the use of the present tense in describing the game,
open (sometimes expressive) evaluation of the individual players’ performance and the teams’ abilities,
as well as a missionary style of reporting, in which the journalist takes up universal issues regarding
football, sports and physical culture. The analysis outlines the differences between old-time
and contemporary realizations of the genre.
