I appreciate a lot of the points made -- particularly that a CSV document, like any text, is a product of a partucular context and needs to be understood as such. It's a fascinating area to delve into for any product, even one as seemingly-simple as this.

But I struggled with the writing style: short, staccato sentences, each following the same simple structure, and each presented as its own paragraph. I can't help but feel it would've read better as normal prose.

I am pretty sure this was the standard style for sport journalists writing on the Brazilian news portals until Twitter was popularized.
