Sport / 13/04/2021 Anti-Social Media: Will a Boycott Help?

The players and staff of Championship side Swansea City are set to boycott social media for one week. This decision was taken following a number of footballers, including several of the club’s players, being racially abused via the platforms in recent weeks. The Welsh club, in announcing their collective social media blackout, released the following...

Sport / 13/04/2021 Two More Years of Hurt Await

David Baddiel and Frank Skinner must love the fact that ‘Three Lions: Its Coming Home’ will continue to make the charts every two years for the rest of their lives. Yet, to me, it always seems out of place. After all, the song is all about winning. Something that, sadly, England very rarely does. On...

Sport / 13/04/2021 Is the Future of Motorsport Electric?

Yes. Of course it is. With a finite amount of fossil fuels left on this Earth, one day we will inevitably have to set aside our love for watching petrol-fuelled racing machines being wrestled around racetracks by the world’s very best and let it give way to, well… the exact same thing but with cars...

Sport / 13/04/2021 Injuries may be Temporary, but their Ramifications can be Permanent

Injuries are part and parcel of playing sports, with tennis elbow, torn ligaments and back pains among the most common injuries explored in TV shows or highlighted in the media. But how often do sporting injuries really occur, and how severe can the effects of these injuries be? Football and basketball have recently been ranked...

Sport / 13/04/2021 Woman in the Middle

Rebecca Welch. Remember the name. Recently, Welch made history, becoming the first female referee appointed to officiate a game in the English Football League, when she oversaw Port Vale’s 2-0 win in their League Two clash away to Harrogate Town. Astute readers may point out that Amy Fearn was the first woman ever to referee...

Sport / 23/03/2021 More than just a ‘Bald Rugby Player’: Heather Fisher

Heather Fisher is a truly remarkable individual. Fisher earned her first international cap in rugby union in 2009, was a member of England’s 2014 World Cup-winning squad, went on to represent Team GB in the rugby sevens at the Olympics in Rio 2016 and, to top it all off, has also represented Great Britain in...

Money, Money, Money: The struggles of maintaining elite sporting status once you enter the rich man’s world

As hard as it is to win a world title, in anything, it is arguably just as hard to retain your title. Not only do you have to maintain the physical and mental performance to stay a cut above your opponents, but you are battling your own motivation as well. The vast majority of champions,…

Will there be a changing of the guard on Superbowl Sunday?

On Sunday 7th February, the NFL’s very best will go head-to-head for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. I am of course talking about Super Bowl LV, where the Kansas City Chiefs face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 55th edition of the Super Bowl being the first ever to be played at the home ground of one…

Was it a case of too much, too soon for Frank Lampard?

Recent years have seen a trend in employing club legends at the helm of big football clubs. The appointments of Ole Gunnar Solskjær at Manchester United, Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, Andrea Pirlo at Juventus, and Frank Lampard at Chelsea all raised eyebrows across the footballing world. After all, hiring former players will always carry the…

I think I better leave right now, before our seed falls any deeper: How James Harden and Vince Carter gave up on their franchises

Over the last few years, high-profile NBA players have been requesting trades left, right and centre. It is not a new phenomenon, however: Kobe Bryant, arguably the most iconic player to don the purple and gold of the LA Lakers, requested a trade to Chicago back in 2007. This trade never materialised, of course, but…

Support your squad: How we can continue to help our UEA Sport teammates during yet another lockdown

It has now been almost a year since the COVID-19 pandemic put a stop to sport at university. Sports teams had their seasons disrupted and ended abruptly in the middle of March and now, for many, they have still not been able to resume. The pandemic has forced sports teams to adapt to a new…

Here’s hoping sport remains locked down on the nation’s calendar

The tradition of sport having a relaxing effect is not a new one. On Christmas Day in 1914, a simple game of football was able to bring together fighting German and British troops for a temporary ceasefire. Nothing captures quite how transformative sport can be quite like that does. Therefore, today, as we live through…

Hands. Face. Let’s all go round my place. Why are footballers so ignorant of the Government’s COVID-19 guidelines?

As with the behaviour of fans and the interactions of players with referees, rugby seems to be ahead of the game with lockdown breaches. The Barbarians were set to face the England Rugby Union team in October before the game was cancelled due to the Covid-secure bubble being breached by thirteen players. Since then, each…

Why England’s cricketers have a right to feel insecure about their bio-secure bubbles

The England cricket team have become accustomed to travelling around the world, spending weeks and months in the sub-continent, miles away from home, in order to play the sport that they love at the highest level. However, before the coronavirus pandemic, players would have family and friends visit and could unwind during their downtime, in…

Fantasy Football: All the fun of betting, without the risk of gambling

For me, betting on Premier League football games has always been rather tempting, simply because I like the idea of showcasing the knowledge that I have accrued on the sport that I love so dearly. However, gambling with real money always comes with significant risks, the most serious of which is addiction, which can lead…
