The rate of new COVID-19 cases hit a high in the US this weekend, with over 30,000 new cases reported yesterday alone. Turns out, it’s not just Donald Trump’s campaign staffers who are testing positive: quite a few athletes are among the count, too.

The Black Lives Matter movement has found an unlikely but long-overdue ally in the sports world: NASCAR.

Sports are coming back. But, unfortunately, so are some athletes’ positive COVID-19 test results.

It’s been quite the week for GOAT gymnast Simone Biles. On Monday, she was named as a plaintiff in the lawsuit against USA Gymnastics (USAG). Then on Tuesday, she performed a triple-double dismount — a move never been seen before. Get that dirt off your shoulders.

Similar to Kawhi’s famous Game 7 buzzer beater, the NBA season restart is still up in the air. While the league pushes forward with their Disney World bubble plan, Kyrie Irving & Co. are asking their fellow players to sit out.

Did you know there’s no openly queer athletes in the majors? In honour of Pride Month, co-hosts Ellen and Steph discuss how heteronormative and gender binary ideals and the societal constructs of what’s “masculine” and “feminine” play a huge — and detrimental — part in the LGBT2Q+ community’s involvement in sports.

After USA Gymnastics dealt with the monster that is Larry Nassar back in 2017, it’s now time for USA Swimming to confront some demons.

The NBA’s highly anticipated return-to-play might not happen after all...and for good reason. Players are speaking out about their reservations over bringing their sport back while the fight for social justice continues.

The NBA season isn’t the only one in doubt. Due to COVID-19, the tennis season is hanging on by a thread, while the MLB situation is the literal definition of a gong show. The WNBA and NHL are looking good, though...well, kind of.

Sports are finally returning. And with athletes, coaches, teams and leagues back in the limelight, it’s the perfect opportunity for them to follow up on their statements on the Black Lives Matter movement with real, tangible actions.

While there are still a lot of questions about the 2020 tennis season, one thing is for sure: 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer won’t be playing.

Like we said, sports are coming back...but not all sports...yet! This week has seen some positive steps forward, a few setbacks and yet another proposal to salvage the baseball season (spoiler alert: it’s not looking promising).
