[On March 3rd<\/sup>,
\n1875<\/a>, the first organized ice hockey game was played. So this week for
\nthe sport\u2019s 150th<\/sup> anniversary I\u2019ve AmericanStudied a handful of
\nhockey histories, leading up to this weekend post on some SportsStudiers we can
\nall learn from!]<\/p>\n

Just over
\ntwo years ago (but also like five minutes ago, because time is an accordion
\nhere in the 2020s), I dedicated my Super
\nBowl series weekend post<\/a> to highlighting a number of excellent
\nSportsStudiers. All those folks are still well worth reading and supporting, so
\nI mainly wanted to reiterate those recommendations at the end of this sports
\nhistories series.<\/span><\/p>\n

But now
\nthat I\u2019ve gotten more fully onto the Bluesky<\/a>
\n(follow me at that profile if you\u2019re over there and I\u2019ll return the favor!), I
\nalso wanted to share a couple Starters Packs (which is how Bluesky allows us to
\ncreate lists of folks for easy follows) that feature many more SportsStudiers:<\/span><\/p>\n

Left-leaning sports commentators<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

LGBTQ+ sports media<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Baseball podcasts and podcasters<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Sports history<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Critical sports<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Check them
\nout and keep the SportsStudying going!<\/span><\/p>\n

Next
\nseries starts Monday,<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben<\/span><\/p>\n

PS. What
\ndo you think? SportsStudiers you\u2019d share? <\/span><\/p>\n
