It’s a big week for sports. I saw an Instagram reel the other day, proclaiming that it was the North American Sports Equinox — the day of the year with the most to offer fans of professional sports. The creator listed off the professional leagues that hosted games on that Monday: “NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and WNBA.” The list wasn’t robust enough for my liking. What about Colorado College Intramural Volleyball, Outdoor Soccer and Flag Football? To fight against this kind of omission in the zeitgeist of “Big Sport,” we bring you yet another installment of our column, The Circuit, where the CC Intramural scene takes precedence over all else. Come with us to Olsen Field, the Auxiliary Gym and Washburn Field, where NBA opening games, WNBA finals, NFL Week 8 and the World Series all fade blissfully into the background. Soccer It has begun. It’s playoff season: the time of sitting in class, gazing out the window thinking about Olsen Field, with the shirt finally within reach.

Common Quandary

A Common Quandary to discuss

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

You are vegetarian, but the leftover steak is headed for the trash. Do you eat it?

A vegetarian avoids buying meat because of animal welfare concerns. At work events, untouched meat is routinely thrown away, and eating it would neither increase demand nor cause another animal to be harmed.

Should a moral practice be judged by its consequences or its consistency?
