United States President Donald Trump has said he will not watch National Football League or U.S. soccer team matches if players do not stand for the national anthem.
The U.S. Soccer Federation last week said it had dropped its requirement that players stand during the anthem, saying the policy was wrong and detracted from the Black Lives Matter movement.
The hosts for the 2020 ESPYs have been announced. This year, the ESPYs will shift its focus from outstanding athletic achievement to highlighting the impact athletes have made outside of sports. This shift in showing the world that there's more to athletes than just their performances on the field or court aligns with the current global situation we are in. While sports took a halt, many athletes did not.
Seattle Storm point guard Sue Bird, USWNT standout Megan Rapinoe and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson will be the voice of this years ESPYs.
The National Football League has time on its side as the sports world prepares to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and will use some it to observe German soccer's Bundesliga as a potential blueprint on how to deal with the outbreak.
Speed kills regardless of the sport. During Tuesday’s Champions League match, Dortmund’s new wonder-boy Erling Håland showcased his blistering speed during a box-to-box sprint. How fast is Erling Håland compared to Tyreek Hill from the NFL?
Håland has some scary speed, that much we learned from this insane burst from the Norwegian teen on Tuesday.
The 2019-20 NWSL offseason has been loaded with weddings, but the latest one may have upstaged them all based on the Kealia Ohai wedding pics plastered all over social media.
Orlando Pride teammates Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris were married at a lovely Miami wedding with many of their USWNT colleagues in attendance on Dec. 28. A week before that, Portland Thorns keeper Adrianna Franch married her partner, Emily Boscacci.
The life of a kicker in the NFL is rough. Apparently, it’s even worse for XFL kickers.
And we here at The18 are all for it.
Admittedly, we’re not paying much attention to the latest iteration of the XFL. More American football? Really? We’ll tune in for Gerard Pique’s girlfriend during the Super Bowl halftime show, but when it’s the D.C. Defenders and Seattle Dragons? Hard pass.
A championship for a professional team, no matter the sport, isn’t complete without the victory parade that follows. Recently, the Kansas City Chiefs had an underwhelming turnout for their Super Bowl party, but how did it compare with other victory parades? The only way to find out is to compare Super Bowl vs. Champions League celebrations.
On Wednesday, the Chiefs celebrated their Super Bowl 54 title in front of, well, some fans.
On Sunday, America’s most-watched sporting event will take place. This year viewers will have to tune in to FOX to watch Super Bowl 54 between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. This means our ears will be graced with the absolute beauty of the NFL on Fox theme song.
There are those who believe that kickers have no place in the game of American football. In fact, the revamped XFL is doing away entirely with the tedious extra-point process. But take one look at the last two Super Bowls and it’s obvious that the sport’s showpiece event often comes down to which placekicker sucks less.
