When MVP told me that Han and Holm were going to rematch in Stephanie's hometown of El Paso, I said I want to get on the card to support these two queens. Women's boxing is growing on a global level, and fights like this ... are proof of how far we've come.
Derval O'Rourke recently saw the trailer for the new Rory McIlroy documentary about his Masters victory and there's a line in it about last year being his 17th attempt to win the green jacket.
When things are intense and you feel like you've gotten in a rhythm and you may get it done and you might get to conclude it, you want to keep going. You don't want to lose the momentum, because the pause you take allows people to go into another dimension.

What makes me so grateful to be part of Gotham is how they invested in me when I was at a low. I didn't realize it at the time, but I wasn't actually playing very well when the deal came about. The trade was abrupt and came at a difficult point in her career, yet the organization's commitment during her struggles proved pivotal.
Raised in Oakland by a family with Raiders season tickets, early photos show her dressed in team gear even as a baby.

At my college back in the day, just as Title IX was being passed, the male athletes were given steak dinners at the cafe the night before big games, especially football, but basketball, and baseball too, but none for female teams.

Wrestling gave me everything. It broke me. Built me. Tested me. Somehow still made me fall in love with it again. 2025 wasn't about being showcased. It was about going back to the indies, back to the grind, back to the reason I started -and remembering exactly who the hell I am.
Jessica Pegula never needed tennis. She simply kept showing up for it anyway, through the long and often anonymous slog of the professional tour. Now 32 and the oldest player in the top 10, Pegula is having her best season start yet.

Over the last year, the Tr*mp administration has aimed to eradicate trans people from public life, issuing executive orders that curtail their access to healthcare and vital services. Trans people also face restrictions on selecting their gender for travel documents, using public restrooms and the ability to serve openly in the military.

In a recent video, Hegseth was seen participating in a kettlebell workout alongside members of the military. He appears to swing bell quite dramatically.
