After 18 months of deliberation, the NFL‘s Washington Football Team has finally chosen its new name: the Washington Commanders. The club had been using the generic ‘Football Team’ moniker for the last few seasons after deciding to retire its old name, which many viewed as offensive. The rebrand includes a number of notable changes: from a reserved stripe down the middle of the helmet; an updated ‘W’ logo, featuring lines through the letters offering a beveled look; grilled numbers and a new seal, to a prominent ‘COMMANDERS’ chest hit to complete the uniform. Staying true to its roots, the club opted to keep the fan-favorite burgundy and gold color palette, but added a black iteration as tasteful alternate. “As an organization, we are excited to rally and rise together as one under our new ...

Brian Flores, who was fired last month by the Miami Dolphins, has filed a class-action lawsuit against the NFL, his former team, the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos, alleging discrimination in its hiring practices. Filed in a Manhattan courthouse on the first day of Black History Month, the case cites a number of accusations, such as Stephen Ross, the owner of the Dolphins, who allegedly offered Flores $100,000 USD for each game he’d tank in the 2019 season to potentially draft Joe Burrow; a text from Bill Belichick, who accidentally messaged Flores congratulating him for getting the Giants vacancy three days before even interviewing — it was actually intended for former Buffalo Bills coordinator, Brian Daboll; along with mentioning a 2019 interview with the Broncos, where General M...

At the brink of defeat, down two sets and facing a triple break point, 35-year-old Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal found it in himself to clinch a dramatic 2-6, 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4, 7-5 comeback win in the 2022 Australian Open final, breaking a three-way 20 Grand Slam Title tie between himself, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, for a record-breaking 21. The finals win against Russian player Daniil Medvedev, which lasted 5 hours, 24 minutes, the second-longest Australian Open final ever, was even more impressive considering Nadal has been sidelined from a chronic foot injury, was playing an opponent a decade younger, and recently recovered from COVID-19 in December. “It has been one of the most emotional matches in my tennis career and to share the court with you (Medvedev) was an honor,” Na...
