Across the globe, gender equality in sports remains a complex and long-term challenge. However, recent advances are encouraging. Title IX has pushed the needle on parity, and strategic moves by governing bodies are helping to close the gap. This is also true of women’s representation in coaching and leadership positions, which remain disproportionately low. Moreover, female athletes have an opportunity to leverage their visibility to advance gender equality in sports and beyond.

Gender equality in sports is not possible without addressing fundamental, systemic issues. This is why this issue brief focuses on a range of critical areas, from increasing women’s participation in sports to developing inclusive practices. The insightful perspectives of Barr-Anderson et al. [106] highlight the power of sport to tackle deep-rooted gender discrimination, and the empowering impact of the Olympics in addressing the glaring disparities. Similarly, Capranica et al. [115, 116] expose the pervasive media bias that female athletes endure, underscoring the need to reframe gendered images of sporting events to promote equality.

Additionally, the poignant challenges that female students experience in their educational institutions are addressed by Dowling et al. [99], who reaffirm the need to incorporate gender equality in curriculums to support equitable and just learning environments. Likewise, Gerdin et al. [89, 114] champion the inclusion of mixed-gender sports such as korfball as an antidote to discrimination and as an integral cog in the journey toward gender equality. In the final analysis, the commitment of fervent educators is crucial to fostering gender equality in sports and beyond.

The US Open kicks off Monday, bringing tennis stars from across the globe to Queens for two weeks of thrilling matches. Whether you’re looking to see Venus Williams reclaim her crown at 45 years old or witness the next rising star, there are plenty of reasons to get excited for the tournament.

A new format brings more matches to the US Open this year. It’s now contested over 15 days instead of 14, and it begins on a Sunday rather than a Monday, like the French and Australian Opens. There will also be an expanded video review system, so all 17 competition courts will have the technology to handle reviews of certain plays (like double bounces).

One of the best things about the US Open is that it’s free for most fans. You can watch qualifying matches, which start Aug. 18, as well as family activities and free concerts at Flushing Meadows throughout Fan Week, which runs until the main draw begins Aug. 24. All you need is a ticket to enter the grounds, and you can bring in reusable water bottles of up to 24 ounces (no glass).

The US Open also offers plenty of food options. You’ll find classic sports-event snacks, including hot dogs and burgers, as well as gourmet fare like ice cream from Van Leeuwen and pizza from San Matteo. There’s even a food court outside Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong Stadiums that features some of the city’s top restaurants, like COQODAQ from Simon Kim.

The NFL draft begins Thursday night in Green Bay. The 2025 draft consists of seven rounds with the first two taking place on Thursday, the next three on Friday and the final four on Saturday. Teams are allowed to trade up or down in any round but must still select one player per pick.

The top pick is widely expected to be Miami quarterback Cam Ward, who is considered the best overall player in this class. But outside of Ward, many draft experts are split on who will go where at the top of the first round. Some believe running back Ashton Jeanty from Boise State, defensive tackle Mason Graham from Ohio State and linebackers Shedeur Sanders and Abdul Carter from Penn State are the best options.

Teams that made the playoffs have the lowest pick in each round, while those who didn’t qualify are ranked by their record in reverse order with the Super Bowl winners picking last. If a team’s regular season and playoff record are identical, tiebreakers such as division or conference championships are applied.

The league also awards up to 32 compensatory picks. These are assigned to teams who lose certain free agents based on a proprietary formula that considers salaries, playing time and postseason honors. These are awarded at the end of each round and, for the 2025 draft, are added after standard compensatory picks have been awarded. As of this writing, the San Francisco 49ers have three compensatory picks due to losing cornerback Da’Shawn Hand and defensive end Leonard Floyd in free agency.
