About
Grandstand Central
Sports for the thinking fan.
Note from the editor

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 conduct thought-experiments. 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. We're here to look at the intersection of sports and politics, money, science, race, religion, gender, culture, tech and sexuality. GSC is sports for the thinking fan.

Isn’t it amazing where life takes you? One day you’re learning about how to throw a hip check. The next you’re writing about it! Low key fan of sarcasm.
