As long as it’s been a game, we’ve been playing it.

Victory Journal is proud to announce the “Vanguard,” a limited run Victory Editions publication celebrating the women’s game in 2019 and beyond. Vanguard chronicles emerging and established leaders of the game—from Shay Evans, a seventeen-year-old, Australian prodigy from the remote Indigenous community of Borroloola, to the defending champions, a band of dynamic women continuing to push the game forward at home and abroad. We visit the humble, but vital public pitches of Paris, cradle of the world’s premier football talent, and travel across continents with elite players chasing new club opportunities around the world. Together, they form the vanguard of an unstoppable force, legends of an undeniable future.

Made possible by the support of Nike. Available in limited quantities in NYC, LA, Paris and London.

It’s a dismally down decade for New York sports, while Boston continues their cruel reign of terror. But today, our human security blanket, the one-pitch bat-exploder, the heavyweight champion of door-slamming has been elected—with not a single scribe daring to deny his greatness. Today we can contemplate our once and future greatness without disturbance. It’s unanimous. 🎶 Enter Sandman. #HOF2019 #MarianoRivera

Frequent Victory contributor @StevenCounts traveled to American Samoa to meet the next in line from a tiny island that’s produced an insane number of NFL players. Leone High School senior Eddie Siaumau will play for Arizona in the fall, but tomorrow he suits up for Team Makua in the annual Polynesian Bowl in Hawaii. These images were all #ShotoniPhone and Steven also made a short film with the support of @Apple — head to their IGTV + Stories to see the film.

Twice a week, fans gather at the Arena México, known as "the cathedral of lucha libre," to cheer on their favorite wrestlers. Lucha libre, which literally translates to
"free fighting," has been a cornerstone of Mexican sport for roughly a century, its national popularity eclipsed only by fútbol. Although like American-style WWE wrestling lucha libre combines aspects of theater and scripted storytelling — it is recognized most readily internationally by its hallmark elaborate masks — it is equally celebrated for the physical virtuosity of its fighters. From “Lucha.” (📷: @christiaanfelber) #VictoryJournal15 #ProvingGrounds #Wrestling #LuchaLibre

Every Easter Monday, the Leicestershire Villages of Melbourne and Hallaton face off in a time-honored contest known as “Bottle Kicking,” played with something closer to a wooden half keg. Unwieldy scrums of boys and men from each village vie to carry the bottle into streams that serve as goal lines on a mile-wide field of play. Apart from prohibitions against weapons, choking and eye gouging, there are no rules. From “Bottle Kicking.” (📷: @jamestarmcnaught) #VictoryJournal15 #ProvingGrounds #BottleKicking

“What is precious is also vulnerable. In the last year, the prized New York City Ballet found itself in the precarious position so many other institutions have faced in the wake of the #MeToo movement: forced to reconcile an ugly reality behind the exquisite scenes that have made it a gem in the crown of its home city and the world over. As the 2018 season opened under this long shadow, it was natural to wonder how the company would go forward. The performance of co-founder and original art director George Balanchine's three-part dance, "Jewels," offered a glimmer of hope, shining through as a stunning reminder of the purity and power of City Ballet's heritage as much as a promise for the future." From our cover story, "Jewels." (📝: @kateperkns + 📷: @_antoniosantos_) #VictoryJournal15 #ProvingGrounds #NYCBallet #Ballet

Once upon a time, jai alai was a major draw for American sports fans—especially in south Florida. "The fastest game on earth" was dangerous, glamorous, and unlike anything else. Thousands of people flocked to frontons in and around Miami and all over the eastern seaboard to watch players hurl balls from wicker baskets at more than 100 miles per hour. The sport's popularity has waned, many frontons have closed and fewer kids are playing, but its unique aesthetic has retained its power over the imagination. From Casino Miami.

In a country where ice rinks are expensive and rare, this team beat the Men’s National Hockey team in a huge upset, defeated all odds in winning the 2017 World Championship (II B), dealt with adversity in continuing their training after the devastating earthquakes, and made history by becoming #Mexico's first female team to advance to the second round of the #WinterOlympic tryouts. Selección Femenil Mexicana de Hockey is now the highest ranked National female sports team in Mexico. Go support this incredible team of women by purchasing the limited edition trading card series by @elenaparasco. Each pack comes with a copy of Victory Journal, Issue 14—link in bio. #IceHockey

"When we watch American football, what are we seeing? By cutting together only these scenes of injury — moments of impact, of intimacy, of trauma — and reversing them, I hope to open up a space to see some of this violence anew." By the end of the 2017-2018 season, more than 250 players in the #NFL will have sustained concussions. For his latest project, "Concussion Protocol," data artist @JoshBegley tracked these injuries. #VictoryRecommends #Football

"I really believe in my heart that that first turn you make on a pair of skis is your first taste of total freedom, the first time in your life that you could go anywhere that your adrenaline would let you go. And I show that in my films. I didn’t preach it. But once you experience that freedom — I’d personally narrate that show over 100 times a year — and I came to the conclusion that man’s search for freedom is embedded in our genes. That’s what everybody wants.”— RIP #WarrenMiller. (🎥: Warren Miller's "Steep and Deep," 1985) #Ski #Skiing #SkiBum #RIP
