The NWSL's Fall Series will start this weekend without some big USWNT names (think Megan Rapinoe, Sam Mewis, Rose Lavelle)

This week co-hosts Ellen and Steph give #thegist on the sports world’s restart of the restart and discuss whether or not it's time for student-athletes, especially Black student-athletes, to unionize.

The U.S. Open is upon us, and as if the road to the tennis Grand Slam event wasn’t rocky enough, a few men’s players are bringing an extra dose of drama to the tournament.

Although last week’s wildcat strike of games and practices lasted only a few days, the impacts have long-term potential.

This weekend brought us the day that we all thought might never come: the start of the 2020 college football season!

Yesterday, in protest of racial injustice, the Milwaukee Bucks boycotted their NBA playoff game. And, in one of the strongest collective actions we’ve seen in sports, the rest of the league and athletes from across North America are following suit.

Thanks to the NHL’s lack of genuine support last night, there were still a few playoff games to watch. Here are a few highlights from the night.

Sports fans in North America will soon have primetime games with real crowd noise. But the jury’s still out if hosting fans during the COVID-19 pandemic is the best call.

After a v. successful return-to-play tournament in July, the NWSL is coming back, baby.

This week co-hosts Ellen and Steph give #thegist on the sports world’s reaction to the shooting of unarmed Black man Jacob Blake and discuss the horrible sexist and homophobic remarks coming from NHL and MLB commentators. If only we could be done with this sh!t.

Time moves quickly inside the bubble. Without the need for travel and the distraction of women (cue eye roll here), the NHL moved from the first to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs in less than 24 hours. Here’s #thegist on the four conference semifinals.

Two teams punched their tickets to the NBA conference semifinals and the remaining six slots will be decided this week. It’s time to put Selling Sunset on pause (hard, we know) because there’s some epic basketball coming your way.
