We're 10 days into the World Cup, and already the games have been riddled with drama! Before they even started, members of the international community raised concerns about the games being held in Qatar. The games are being held in a stadium that was built by slave labor, and many of these “workers” died in the process. Qat Some English fans were not allowed to enter the stadium after showing up in battle outfits from the Crusades.

It's that time of the year again: The World Series. On some level, every baseball fan is excited about the world series, but everyone knows that not all world series' are created equal. In my household, nothing compared to watching the Chicago Cubs break the curse in 2016. Even though I might not be the biggest baseball fan in the world, seeing how much that win meant to my family and the city of Chicago was so powerful to watch. This year, we've got the Phillies vs. the Astros. I have never li…

I have a question for the agora: how did The United States manage to mess up so badly by naming American football the exact same thing as actual football? I find this to be a grave oversight on our part, and I'd like to know who is responsible. Why would you name a brand new sport after a sport that already existed?

Hockey is by far one of the most fun sports to watch live. When I go to a football game, they don't have to enclose the crowd behind tall transparent walls fans can bang to express their spirit.

When I go to the U.S. Figure Skating National Championships, I don't expect the doubles team to get in a fight so brutal, one of them needs to be sequestered into a clear box for…

We're finally back into the groove of football season , which makes me think about how I first got into football. I became a fan at my high school games, soaking up the Friday Night Lights that Texas does best. In college, I moved on to following the antics of the Big 10. Now that I'm an adult, it's about time I settled down with an NFL team. It's so interesting to hear about how different people first got interested in the game. So many of us really came for the vibes: the energy of a football…

Yesterday, the long-awaited first Sunday of the football season commenced. To that I say, thank God, because summer sports don't hit the same. You've got baseball every day, which isn't as easy to get invested in. You don't have that one special day a week where your team plays: every day could be a great day in baseball, but you don't have the psychic powers to know which day that will be. In football, you have your weekly special day to watch the big game. No matter what happens, you know The…
