Sport-a-dox: [s'port^a~dox]

1. A seemingly contradictory statement about a sporting event that may nonetheless be true: the Colts run-defense shut-down Grand Mama for the Chiefs
2. An assertion that is essentially self-contradictory, though based on a valid deduction from acceptable premises: Eli MANNING sucks
3. A statement contrary to received opinion.

[Latin sportadoxum, from Greek paradoxon, from neuter sing. of paradoxox, conflicting with expecation : para-, beyond;]

sport’a-dox’i-cal adj. That game was too sportadoxical to describe

sport’a-dox n. That game was the quintessential sportadox

In sporting events, there are nothing but oppositions; forces are constantly struggling. An offense tries to stop a defense, conversely, a defense tries to stop an offense. They same is true with pitchers and hitters. In individual competitions the same notion is the case. For every action, there is a reaction; when someone or some team looks good, another looks bad. The art of analysis and comparison is so difficult to decipher. For that reason, I have created the sportadox.

The sportadox attempts to breakdown both sides of an issue and weigh them in the Court of Brown before a decision is finally rendered.
