This week on The Sport and Society Squad, we’re all about the Queens—on the court, in culture, and in the madness of March. In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the trailblazers who didn’t just break barriers—they shattered them. From Billie Jean King taking down the patriarchy one match at a time to today’s athletes demanding their crowns in the form of equal pay and respect, these women aren’t just in the game; they’re changing it. Meanwhile, in pop culture, Halle Bailey’s latest drama proves that some men stay playing themselves. Our Princess Ariel deserves better—so do we even waste breath on them, or do we let these guys sink into obscurity like a bad one-hit wonder? And speaking of one-and-done, the March Madness brackets are set, and we’ve made our picks based on pure gut instinct. Will retrogrades and a lunar eclipse steer us into chaos, or did we accidentally manifest the perfect Cinderella story? Only time will tell. One thing’s for sure—whether in sports or society, the real winners don’t wait for a happily ever after. They make it happen
