Scottie Scheffler got arrested outside the PGA Championship. To most people it was a meme, but for others it exposed challenges in our criminal justice system.

Sports has a way of opening up conversations. In that spirit, we are excited to announce a new series exploring the impact of sports programs in prisons. It’s called “Yard Time” and it is coming soon.

Andrés Escobar was one of Colombia’s most respected footballers. After scoring a tragic own goal during the 1994 World Cup, he became the target of a country grappling with the influence of cartel money, gambling, and violence. Days later, he was murdered outside a nightclub in Medellín.

More than 30 years later, his death remains one of the darkest chapters in football history.

Who Killed Rollerblading? explores the meteoric rise and sudden fall of rollerblading in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Through the story of its most iconic figure, Arlo Eisenberg, the film unravels how a once-exploding movement was cut down before it ever had the chance to fully take hold.

Are live sports becoming luxury goods?

The cheapest Knicks Finals ticket is $4,000.

For less than that, Knicks fans are flying to Texas, staying in a hotel, and buying a ticket to the San Antonio Stadium.

The NBA isn’t alone though.

FIFA expects to make $3 billion (up from $1B in 2022) from ticket sales at the 2026 World Cup, which is why you may not know ANYONE attending a match.

Time will tell if fans will remain “fanatics” if they can’t ever experience their teams in person.
