I Finally Understand Sports Fandom
I’ve never been particularly interested in watching sports, specifically, on television. I had never understood the whole concept of revolving one’s day around ensuring that they’re plopped on the couch at a definitive point in time in order to stare at other humans moving around the screen in contentious ways. My parents always healthily encouraged my brother and I to play sports, so we did throughout all of childhood until college. Although competing came with some low points, in retrospect, I am so grateful for the emotional and physical development that competition provided me. I know that playing a professional sport is a whole other level of commitment, physical labor, and mental fortitude; however, I believe that the exposure I had during my athletic years gave me some sort of elementary glimpse. I played competitive tennis, and my dad also got me into golf at a very young age, so I’ve always considered those two to be enjoyable pastimes. Naturally, since I was more hands-on with them, I knew the professional players in tennis and golf as well. I grew up watching all of the grand slams, major tournaments, and even attended a few tournaments around the US. Besides, the experience of attending an event and watching the sport being played in person is a whole different ball game; hah, see what I did there? Aside from tennis and golf, I was never really noticeably engrossed in other sports leagues such as football, basketball, baseball, etc. And, as many would agree, watching the Olympics doesn’t count. One could say, “oh, that’s the same viewpoint as most teenage girls.” That may have been a factor, but I’ve now put a little more thought into it. Things changed in the past few months as one particular sports team started to attract the eyes, and indeed the hearts, of nearly all Arizona dwellers this summer, including myself. That team has been the Phoenix Suns. After witnessing a rollercoaster of wins and losses, seeing the valley light up with excitement over finally having a talented team to be proud of, and being able to connect with friends, family, and even strangers over the Suns, I feel like I finally understand true sports fandom.

(Re)name that Team
At the rate we’re going, the Miami Dolphins will be the only sports franchise with a name that doesn’t offend anyone. In the four major American sports (that don’t require gasoline), basketball, baseball, football, and hockey, they have been accused of insensitivity because of their names.

Bigger Stronger Faster
Something happens to kids’ sports as they reach the age of double digits. Something that is not only unnecessary but also serves to encourage a feedback loop of female athletes being viewed as less, treated as less, given less funding, and less attention. But splitting up sports based on sex doesn’t just hurt girls. It hurts boys as well as society as a whole. It excludes transgender athletes and sets up athletes who are unaware of their intersex status for humiliation. We can and must do better.

What’s In Oonamb
The great mystery, of the town of Edenburg, is just that to some of those whom have lived to live. But, to the few whom have lived exceedingly, that mystery has enveloped their existence and engulfed their emphasis inside of deafened hearing. A weight is upon Edenburg and it is awaiting for the prophetic smothering. This prophecy is laden with souls, as old as eons and as young as centuries, gifted with the moment of involvement and cursed with the speculation of knowledge without the language to profess. Forces that are new and old, wretched and righteous, subtle and outlandish are all in place to bring Edenburg to its inevitable reach. A 100-year prophecy fulfilled. The war between the 500 and the Hundred-Somethings. A clock without a tick or tock left to give. A day… that is today.

Canada is a Hockey Culture
When you hear the word Canadian what words come to mind ? Winter, Tim Horton's and definitely HOCKEY. Hockey is the one pastime that most Canadians have a story about. They either grew up with a guy who played hockey, they played hockey or they dated a hockey player. Whatever the story was, it's the one thing that united all Canadians together. It was a familiarity and even a comfortable place where everyone forgot their differences and got together to cheer for a game.
