Throughout historical past, folks have cared about sports activities greater than anything, and there are numerous examples that show this. The most well-known factor from historical Rome? The Colosseum, a sports activities stadium. The present Pope isn’t even probably the most well-known particular person from his personal nation as a result of we’ve soccer legend Lionel Messi, who can also be from Argentina. And who’s probably the most well-known particular person from the cultural Mecca of Akron, Ohio? That’s proper, a basketball participant.

Sports are the principle curiosity and precedence of most people, and no inhabitants is extra enthusiastic than the Oberlin neighborhood. Thus, the Sports part of the Review has determined to take over the remainder of the paper. We intend to maintain the names of every part whereas incorporating athletics data into News, Arts, Opinions, and the Conservatory and can observe a transparent and logical define to make this occur.

The plan for the revamped News part is easy: Sports part overflow.  is an awesome quantity of groundbreaking sports activities information — even simply within the city of Oberlin — and we have to cowl all of it. It simply isn’t truthful that native youngsters aren’t getting protection of their yard wiffle ball video games. By increasing the Sports part to the entrance web page of the Review, we will ensure everyone seems to be represented. If a second-year Anthropology main pulls off a five-game win streak in FIFA on-line seasons of their dorm room, the folks will learn about it.

The new Arts part can also be comparatively simple as a result of sport is artwork. Athletic competitions are choreographed performances of individuals shifting their our bodies in expressive methods whereas sporting costumes. They audition to make the crew, apply their abilities, and have costume rehearsals — generally known as scrimmages to some. Coverage of the Arts part would parallel critiques of dance performances whereas specializing in one thing everybody, particularly the Oberlin pupil physique, really cares about. Visual evaluation of uniforms may even be central to the mission of the brand new Arts part. No matter the end result of the video games, groups can earn respect for sporting smooth, color-coordinated uniforms.

Opinions can also be an space that may seamlessly transition into all sports activities content material. Much of sports activities media at present is already about who can have the most well liked take — suppose Stephen A. Smith and his ESPN present First Take. We’ll don’t have any downside filling the pages with ridiculous statements about quite a lot of sports activities subjects that use a poor quantity of analysis and an abundance of uncooked emotion. We know that there’s already slightly little bit of a tradition battle between athletes and non-athletes, however one among our agendas can be to incite tradition wars between sports activities groups. Something like an unsightly beef between the sector hockey crew and the last word frisbee crew will convey numerous site visitors to our web site and popularize our paper. Another important transfer for our new Opinions part is the introduction of playing recommendation columns. What brings folks nearer to the attractive world of sports activities than convincing them to place their hire cash on obscure school basketball video games?

The new search for the Conservatory part requires a bit extra creativity as a result of it focuses on an precise establishment inside the faculty, however it should nonetheless be important to our new sports-centric paper. Alongside the explosion of Youtube, Instagram, TikTok, and different video platforms lately, many new mixtures of sports activities and music have arisen. During the 2022 World Cup, I couldn’t inform you what number of Lionel Messi highlights I noticed with 4 totally different pop songs remixed to it. We kindly ask the Conservatory to transform into a faculty the place they solely train college students how you can incorporate music into sports activities spotlight movies, as a result of it should assist us hold the connection to the previous Conservatory part as finest as potential. Once we’ve our expert pupil musicians recording music solely to be performed over movies like “Best March Madness Buzzer Beaters of All Time,” the Review will then have the ability to present in-depth analyses of such items.

Be looking out for the brand new and improved The Oberlin Review that focuses on a very powerful subject on the planet, and glad belated April Fool’s Day!
