Electronic Arts, Inc. (NasdaqGS:EA) and FIFA have announced the launch of the EA SPORTS™ FIFA 20 Global Series on The Road to the FIFA eWorld Cup. The game enables millions of players from over 60 countries to compete and boasts more than 20 league partnerships to host tournaments. FIFA Competitive Gaming Commissioner Brent Koning commented:

“The EA SPORTS FIFA 20 Global Series is the most inclusive esports competition on the planet. Anyone can become a superstar and the opportunity to do so has accelerated with the more than 20 official league partners now in the mix. This connection to global sport drives viewer intrigue, and that positions us well for surpassing last year’s 800 million minutes of EA SPORTS FIFA 19 Global Series content watched.”

lululemon Athletica Inc. (NasdaqGS:LULU) has partnered with the United Nations Foundation for an innovative program that addresses the “mental and physical health of UN development and humanitarian workers who serve on the front lines of urgent global challenges, so they can better support communities around the world”.

“lululemon and the UN Foundation share a commitment to building community and developing collaborative solutions for some of the world’s most pressing issues. With increasing need for international humanitarian aid and peacekeeping, we want to cultivate the long-lasting benefits of mindfulness tools and sustain support for those whose mission is to serve others.”

DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE:DKS) will host its second-annual "National Signing Day" on October 16. The event supports the company’s hiring efforts, wherein new “teammates” will “benefit from competitive pay, an up-to 25%-off store discount and the opportunity to work with the best sports and outdoor brands”. JP Elliott, VP of Talent, DICK'S Sporting Goods, commented:

Redskins Coach Jay Gruden Fired and IAAF World Championships End with US Lead

Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden has been fired, according to a report from the Associated Press. The team owner made the announcement following a 33-7 loss against the New England Patriots bringing the team to an 0-5 streak to start the season. Under Gruden the team only made the playoffs on one occasion and his record with the team stands at 35-49-1. The AP quotes Redskins President Bruce Allen:

“To make a decision like this is difficult, but it was necessary. Our 0-5 start is not just disappointing. We had much different expectations for the beginning of the season. We owe it to our fans, ... the organization, the players, the coaches and their families to do everything we can to win.”

The IAAF World Championships tournament wrapped up on Sunday, October 6 with the U.S. leading on the scoreboard. The U.S. scored 14 gold and 29 medals in total, followed by Kenya and Jamaica, who finished with 11 and 12 total medals, respectively.

Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings, Inc. (NasdaqGS:SPWH) has entered into agreements with DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE:DKS) to acquire 8 Field & Stream locations.

Felix Breaks Usain Bolt’s Record at IAAF, Man City Must ‘Seduce’ Fans for Champions League and California Passes Law Allowing Student Athletes to Get Paid

The IAAF World Championships tournament is in its fourth day today, having kicked off on Friday in Doha, Qatar. Yesterday saw American sprinter Allyson Felix score a record-breaking 12th World Championships gold medal, overtaking Usain Bolt as the leader in gold medals won in the history of the tournament. So far, the U.S. leads in medals won with 8 total (4 gold, 4 silver), and is followed by China and Jamaica who have 6 and 3, respectively.

The UEFA Champions League is in the second matchday of the competition’s group stage today. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said the team must seduce fans in order to win the Champions League, according to The Guardian. He explained the comment:

“The only way is winning games and playing good. Every single day we work. I know for the fans it’s the Premier League - that’s the most exciting. We know that as a club, we’ve done polls, I know how special it is. But this competition is nice too. They have to live it as a dream. Nine times in a row.”

The Associated Press reports that California signed a law that would allow college athletes to hire agents and make money from endorsements. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which governs student athletics in the U.S., had cautioned California governor Gavin Newsom against signing the law. Newsom argued:

“Other college students with a talent, whether it be literature, music, or technological innovation, can monetize their skill and hard work. Student athletes, however, are prohibited from being compensated while their respective colleges and universities make millions, often at great risk to athletes’ health, academics and professional careers.”

IAAF World Athletics Championships Gear Up Without Bolt for First Time Since ‘03 and Nick Kyrgios Fined and Suspended by ATP

The 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships are set to begin on Friday, September 27 at Khalifa International Stadium in Doha, Qatar. This will be the first year since 2003 that sprinter Usain Bolt will not be participating. Bolt holds several IAAF records, including most medals won by a male athlete, most gold medals won, most World Athlete of the Year trophies won, and most tickets sold. The Associated Press quotes American sprinter Justin Gatlin:

“It’s weird, because usually when he’s around, there’s a different energy. It’s almost like pandemonium in a way. Now, you feel like everyone is an opponent. Everyone has their opportunity of being really good and stepping up to the plate to be able to place.”

Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios has been suspended by the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) following an investigation into the player’s conduct at the ATP Masters 1000 event Cincinnati last month. The investigation concluded that Kyrgios has been found to have committed Aggravated Behavior under the Player Major Offense provision in the ATP Code for his behaviour in the second-round match at the aforementioned tournament. Kyrgios insulted a chair umpire and smashed two rackets, for which he was fined $113,000 USD at the time. Following the investigation, Kyrgios is also facing an additional fine of $25,000, a suspension of 16 ATP weeks, and a probationary period of six months beginning the Monday following acceptance of the terms of today’s determination.

Niemann Wins Greenbrier, Pettersen Retires After Capturing Solheim Victory for Europe and Truex Wins NASCAR Playoff Opener

Chilean Joaquin Niemann has won the Greenbrier on Sunday, earning him his first PGA Tour victory. According to PGATOUR.com, the 20-year-old Niemann’s 21 under with six shots ahead of the field is the largest margin of victory in the history of the tournament. This win places Niemann in contention for Ernie Els’ picks for the International Team for The Presidents Cup. Niemann commented:

“I know that there is a lot of good players fighting for the first spots. I know it's going to be tough, and this win definitely helps to get a little -- probably a little help to get in the first spots. But I don't know yet. Just got to be patient and get a couple more tournaments to have good golf and hopefully get in that team.”

Norwegian Suzann Pettersen won the Solheim Cup for her European team in the final professional golf game of her career. According to Golf Channel, after Pettersen holed the winning 7-footer on the 18th green of the last match to beat out the American team, she announced her retirement from golf.

“I think this is the perfect closure. It doesn’t get any better. Yeah, this is it. I’m completely done. I’m closing it down tomorrow, what more can I say. I’m done.”

Martin Truex Jr. earned his fifth victory of the year, scoring the first win of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series playoffs at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday. Truex has now won three of the last four playoff openers, including in 2017 when he won the Cup.
