Morphology
The meaning 'a journalist who writes about sports' is directly compositional from 'sport' (sports) + 'writer' (someone who writes), so a learner who knows both words can infer the compound meaning. This noun-compound pattern is productive and common across languages, making it readily understandable to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Sports writer joins sports and writer into one simple idea. Imagine a person at a game with a notebook, watching the action and writing stories about teams and players, so it means 'a journalist who writes about sports'.
