Word on the Street

I grew up watching “football”, but it was different to the one that reigns supreme on these shores. My international background will ensure that the perspective present in “Word on the Street” is different from those of many die-hard American football and basketball fans. Several aspects of professional and collegiate sports in America have stood out for me (in my few years in the country) and I've heard people talking about various different sports related topics. My dreams of economic policy analysis must wait for the future, and for now I will focus on providing a light-hearted analysis of everyday aspects of Columbia and Ivy League sports, in an attempt to put to rest some of the myths I hear on the street.
