Iranian regime has proven they will not abide by'any agreement': Former Israeli ambassador The team behind Riley Gaines' lawsuit against the NCAA and Brooke Slusser's lawsuit against the Mountain West break down what the recent Supreme Court ruling on women's sports means for their legal efforts. The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee sent out an email asking athletes to support the Protect College Sports Act (PCSA). It is being marketed as a way to protect college sports, but the real question should be: who is protecting the athletes? Without athletes, there is no sport. Giving absolute power to a centralized institution feels more like an economic cartel than fair competition.

Erling Haaland Is Everywhere at the World Cup. He's become an internet character perpetuated by fans and AI. Last week, somewhere amid the World Cup frenzy, a now-viral video circulated of Norwegian striker Erling Haaland mid-mouthful in a restaurant, glancing left and flinching at his own reflection. One post on X sharing the video racked up more than 31 million views in mere days. Fact checkers traced the footage to a slapstick skit by the Chinese comedian Jin Long, posted to TikTok in mid-June .

At a TIME100 Talk in Cannes, Carmelo Anthony, Gabby George, Doriane Pin, and Qualcomm CMO Don McGuire discussed how lessons from sports are shaping leadership, entrepreneurship, and culture far beyond the game.

For Iran's Athletes, There Is No Separating Sports From Politics From defections and protests to moments of national pride, the 2026 World Cup arrives amid decades of tension between identity and the state. Iran's national soccer team has made its 2026 World Cup debut amid a tumultuous backdrop: an abrupt and tentative ceasefire after months of war, an extraordinary set-up in Mexico after the US prevented the team from residing in-country between matches, and political uncertainty that has now expanded to the international stage. But for many Iranians, professional sports have always sat at an intersection between athleticism, identity, and politics. From sporting defections and political activism to moments of immense national sporting pride, the trajectory of Iranian sports underscores what's at stake this World Cup. The Iranian team, on Tuesday morning, drew 2-2 in their debut against New Zealand and will next face Belgium and Egypt, traveling to and from Mexico in between.

Fallica is skeptical on if Sorsby will even play college sports again after checking himself into a betting rehab. Brendan Sorsby's college football career should likely be over, according to rules put in place, after the gambling revelations detailed this week in a lawsuit filed against the NCAA by his own attorneys. At a time when athletes are suing the NCAA over nearly every restriction tied to earning opportunities, this case feels far more straightforward.
