One Year Ago in Emory Sports: What Could’ve Been for Emory Athletes
It’s hard to envision a world before the pandemic where people wandered without masks, ate meals together in large groups and played sports. Eventually, and hopefully, sports will be in full force again, but for now we can reminisce on one year ago today in Emory sports history. The women’s golf team came in fourth [...]
Emory Sports Teams Resume Practice With Restrictions, Few Athletes Able to Attend
After President Gregory L. Fenves announced on Oct. 15 that the spring semester would remain virtual, the possibility of Emory athletes losing yet another season to the COVID-19 pandemic became all the more likely.

Negatives Outweigh Positives in Holding 2021 NBA All-Star Game
On Feb. 4, the NBA announced its plans to hold the All-Star Game and Skills Challenge in Atlanta on March 7.

When Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White was asked in a 2011 interview by TMZ if there would ever be female fighters in the UFC, he adamantly responded, “Never, never.” Less than two years later, Ronda Rousey would headline her own UFC main event and go on to become one of the biggest draws [...]
Chiefs’ Eric Bieniemy Being Passed Over Underscores Racism Within the NFL
As the weekend approached, Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy undoubtedly had his mind set on defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV.

How the U.S. Pushed Its Women Soccer Players Away
While the U.S. has never been strongly associated with the world’s most popular sport, the U.S. women’s national team (USWNT) has been the most dominant team in the world for some time now, winning four World Cup titles since the start of the Women’s World Cups in 1991.

The Inevitable Olympic Crisis
The Olympics have remained relatively unchanged since the first torch was lit in Athens, Greece, in 1896.

Tim Tebow’s Divisive Athletic Career
After five years in minor league baseball, Tim Tebow has retired from the sport. On paper, the former Heisman Trophy winner’s baseball career is unimpressive, as Tebow was one of the worst hitters in the minor leagues in his last season. Despite this, his short-lived career surpassed many analysts’ expectations and drew record attendance numbers [...]
Emory Athletes Utilize Meditation, Yoga to Improve Game
