Are they really saying that because there has been a lot of sports in the news they have run out of everything? That sounds a bit odd, but just saying "due to exceptional demand" doesn't seem quite right either.

Clarification request(s) and response
Brigitte Albert: 7:37pm Sep 29, 2007: Perhaps they are referring to a soccer (Eur:football) championship event (or events) resulting in a rush on national team T-shirts and other sports clothing items....
juliebarba: 9:54pm Sep 29, 2007: I read it the way you do - due to a high level of sports news - and they are talking about sending out article. Due to a heavy traffic in sports news? I suppose you could say a high level of sporting events, as the news & events would tend to go together

agree Brigitte Albert: I think 'major sports events' also works. Remember the fans "sporting" their national team colours during the soccer world cup?

agree Catherine CHAUVIN: parfait ! Et s'il s'agit de rugby, je sais que c'est le cas dans les magasins de sport. Impossible d'acheter certains maillots de coupe du monde.

impressive amount of sports events

Explanation:
May be they are saying there's so much relevant sport events taking place in a short period of time, it is better to process and analyze them better, even if that takes longer.
