How to use gritty in a sentence?
This is actually appropriate, because our work is both aspirational, and grounded in gritty reality, today, I stand before you so thrilled, and, frankly, so humbled to have the opportunity to lead this group of wonderful people who work all day and well into the night to make that ideal a manifest reality.
I hope it adds a gritty kind of groundedness, that's like a good punch in the gut, and a literal punch in the gut too, we all get the crap beaten out of us!
The trick that I really wanted to do with this was to make that dark and gritty version that everybody keeps talking about, but really do it, really see if I could totally accomplish it with essentially a really incredible incredibly silly property.
Viewers tune in to see the nitty-gritty. They do n’t expect polished, scripted content. They want to see regular people tackling regular chores. Bonus points for kids and pets who interrupt... just like real life, it’s the same for marketing ; if you let your authentic self shine through, customers will feel a genuine connection.
We never want to go down that road again, and so in that aspect, we don’t want to have that same feeling that we did back in 2017 and use that as we go into these games as motivations to do whatever we have to do to win, sometimes you can play beautiful football, but sometimes you got to get pretty gritty, roll up your sleeves and grind out a result. So whatever kind of way we have to do it, as long as we get the result.
