The Babes love nothing more than a fellow Babe (and fellow New Jerseyan, sorry not sorry) who has worked hard to pave a way for herself in a male-dominated industry. We all know this shit is not easy, especially when the media only spends roughly 5% of their coverage on women’s sports. But that’s why we’re happy to have Maria Marino getting out there and … Continue reading Babe of the Week: Maria Marino

It’s really quite simple: Alen Hadzic has a well-known reputation leading back to his days at Columbia University as a known sexual predator. So much so that he was forced to fly to Tokyo separately from other athletes and … Continue reading USA Fencing cannot hide Alen Hadzic

In honor of the anniversary of the WNBA’s very first All-Star Game, I give you… the entire broadcast in its entirety!!! Yes, I did watch the whole thing. How can you not? It drips with nostalgia – Lisa Leslie, Sheryl Swoopes, Whitney Houston, VHS tracking lines! Ugh, I love women’s sports. Continue reading On This Day: WNBA’s Inaugural All-Star Game

We at Babes (lol jk it’s literally just me) are psyched to see Robin Arzon back on the Peloton live schedule next Tuesday, July 12.

If I’m being honest, golf isn’t necessarily my favorite sport, but once I did my research and started learning about South Korean golfer Inbee Park, I went down a rabbit hole that left me wondering if I woke up in 2022. Watching Inbee whack a golf ball is like watching sand pour into a glass vase – so smooth, so satisfying, so good. At just … Continue reading Babe of the Week: Inbee Park
Have you watched LFG on HBO Max yet? If not, where you at? Last night, I snuggled up on my couch with a bowl of popcorn and my male dog (he’s a feminist) to watch this documentary.
