Everyone is wrong, except me—my thoughts on the 2026 World Cup

Opinions are cheap, but nuance is few and far between. The 2026 World Cup has already generated millions of opinions, before a single ball has been kicked. The tournament has become a referendum on the United States, on FIFA, and on who the game belongs to. As such, nearly everyone has something to say about it. Myself included, of course. This World Cup is perhaps … Continue reading Everyone is wrong, except me—my thoughts on the 2026 World Cup

What The Democratic Party and The NBA Have In Common

Let’s hold a thought experiment, shall we? Think about the last basketball game you watched on television. If you can’t remember, that’s fine—keep reading, because I have something for you too.

The £1 Billion Lie – A Look Into The State Of Chelsea Football Club

5-A-Side: A Look Into English Football Culture

5-a-side. Powerleague. Cage football. Whatever you want to call it, there’s no denying the impact that grassroots football has had on football culture in England.

Gator Abroad: My Experience Studying Abroad In England

In a word, my experience studying abroad in England, was…fulfilling. So fulfilling, in fact, that I can’t come to grips with the fact that there was a very real chance I would’ve stopped myself from taking part. Prior to the trip, I held my fair share of nerves about the program. As a non-journalism student, joining a program tailored towards sports journalism students was certainly … Continue reading Gator Abroad: My Experience Studying Abroad In England

My 2022/2023 Premier League Predictions

League Table: 1. Manchester City – 91 points For the first time since 2009, I believe we’re set to see a team “three-peat” the Premier League. While Erling Haaland’s official debut in the Community Shield might’ve raised more questions than it answered, the strength of City’s squad will ultimately prove too much for the rest of the country. The addition of Kalvin Phillips from Leeds … Continue reading My 2022/2023 Premier League Predictions
