The world of sports is a rich one, filled with compelling characters and stories. But for too long, traditional outlets have depended on old and formulaic approaches to covering it. Recaps. Mock Drafts. Power Rankings. Puff pieces. Inflammatory quotes made to lure people in and ultimately disappoint them. Enough of the bullshit clickbait. It’s time to go deeper. To ask bigger questions. To have real discussions, debates and push the limits of how we think and talk about sports. It’s time to use the power of sports to explain, explore, empower and unite. That’s why we launched GSC — to tell the stories that nobody else was telling, and to look at the intersection of sports with politics, power, money, science, race, religion, gender, culture, tech and sexuality.

Grandstand Central. Sports for thinking fans.
