Why this leaning score
The article presents the assault as an unfortunate incident, using phrases such as 'injured in downtown assault' and focusing on Teddy Allen's health, which creates a neutral tone. However, the phrase 'a standout scorer and all-star for the team' is slightly more descriptive of Allen's positive contributions to the team, leaning ever so slightly towards a sympathetic portrayal.
Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph
