It’s late July. You’re waiting for the start of college football season – rightfully so – and playing EA Sports College Football 25 increases your excitement for the real thing.
This summer, while you’re waiting, why not check out the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris?
I’m not talking about traveling to France, unless you’re planning a vacation, but instead watching every sport you could imagine on television. We’re talking badminton, fencing, soccer, wrestling, basketball, plus several more.
The Olympics, if you ask me, are a great way to pass the time as summer moves on. It also gives you a great chance to watch some of your favorite athletes, particularly those who aren’t in major sports leagues.
Speaking of favorite athletes, the North Carolina Tar Heels will be well-represented in this year’s Summer Olympics. 13 former UNC athletes will participate in eight different sports – Katie Bowen (New Zealand, women’s soccer), Crystal Dunn and Emily Fox (USA, women’s soccer); Rinky Hijikata (Australia, men’s tennis), Patrick Hussey (Canada, men’s swimming), Martin Kartavi, Adam Maraana (Israel, men’s swimming), Ashley Hoffman, Meredith Sholder and Cassie Sumfest (USA, women’s field hockey), Ethan Ramos (Puerto Rico, freestyle wrestling), Kristen Siermachesky (Canada, women’s rowing) and Aranza Vasquez (women’s diving).

Wouldn’t it be something if, when the Olympics are complete, several athletes who donned Carolina Blue are medal winners?
