Morphology
The meaning 'the editor responsible for sports coverage' is directly and compositionally built from 'sports' (the area of reporting) + 'editor' (the person in charge), so a learner who knows both constituents can derive the MWE. This noun–noun/head + modifier compounding is a transparent, cross-linguistically common pattern (e.g., 'editor de deportes'), making it accessible to B1 learners.
Etymology
The name sports editor comes from newspapers with a 'sports section' of pages about games. The editor of the sports pages was 'in charge' of sports news, so today the phrase means someone responsible for all sports coverage.
