Can Derrick Rose’s return help the Bulls regain their “elite” status? Are the revamped Brooklyn Nets a true […]

Lacrosse is one of the oldest team sports in North America. There is evidence that the traditional Native Americans originated stickball as early as the 17th century in Canada, which later evolved into what we know today as lacrosse. Lacrosse traditionally had many different purposes. It was used to settle inter-tribal disputes, to toughen young warriors for combat, for recreation as part of festivals, and even for religious reasons to collectively pray for something and give pleasure to the Creator. In 1876, Queen Victoria witnessed an exhibition game and was impressed saying, “The game of lacrosse is pretty to watch.” […]

Many find soccer’s most beautiful quality to be its ability to spark unity. The world is united when nations put their differences aside and send their national teams to face international opponents for the ultimate prize at the Olympics or the World Cup.

Last month, America celebrated the legacy of one of the most influential civil rights figures of the twentieth century, Jackie Robinson. With a biographical film named after his jersey number, 42, and the MLB’s own commemorative celebration of the late Hall of Famer on April 15 (Jackie Robinson Day), it is interesting to ponder whether those who witnessed his major league debut on April 15, 1947 had any idea of how that day would affect our nation’s future. After winning the Rookie of the Year award in 1947, Robinson racked up a .342 batting average and 142 RBI two years […]
