Violet Nation exists to promote NYU athletics, a difficult task with many games being played outside of Manhattan, but are constantly seeking to improve NYU's sports presence.

Sports Editor and Tischie Rachel Ruecker takes us through why maybe sports and theater aren't so different after all.

Inside Coles, there are hundreds of people working almost every day to make NYU Athletics happen, but no one notices, or cares. At a school where we consistently complain about a lack of campus and/or community, we overlook all our athletic resources and dismiss them as nothing more than the gym we go to once or twice a week.

Sports commentators and fans are doing players a disservice when they call for players to be tough and power through their injuries. Sports can only improve when we treat our athletes better, not worse, and the rules and regulations need to address this treatment more.
