Hockey fans everywhere rejoice as their favorite sport on skates tentatively returns. In the article, Tentative deal in place to end NHL lockout, in the sports section of FoxNews.com, it seems that the National Hockey League and the Players' Association may have reached an agreement regarding the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement. The compromise came after a sixteen hour negotiating session, and a ten year labor package will soon be finalized and then introduced. If approved, ice hockey training camps will reopen hopefully in the middle of next week.
The context of this article is the NHL lockout that has been in place since mid-September, greatly affecting hockey fans everywhere including Canada.
Although it has been two weeks since my last TOW, my spider-senses are not picking up on any rhetorical devices. I think it is safe to say that FoxNews.com does not have the best written articles.
This article comes from a moderately credible source. Although FoxNews.com is usually quite factual, there was no author associated with this article, so you cannot be certain who wrote it.
The intended audience for Tentative deal in place to end NHL lockout are ice hockey fans that are eagerly awaiting the return of the NHL. The author's purpose in writing this article is to keep readers updated on the lockout. This can be seen when the author wrote, "The breakthrough came after a 16-hor marathon negotiating session that lasted all day Saturday and into Sunday morning at the Sofitel Hotel. The NHL announced the agreement in principle shortly after 5 a.m. ET Sunday."
