HIT ROCK BOTTOM, 2012

Why Frank Warren's Chisora-Haye plot line saw boxing hit rock bottom. It's up to boxing to come up with something entertaining, as opposed to making an art form of fights not happening.

MAN ON MAN, 2011

"There is no sport more romantic than wrestling. It's not the smack of leotard on rubber, nor the giddy thrill of seeing two go mankini-o-mankini in ancient contest – or rather, in a nineteenth century approximation of what ancient contest might have looked like, which is what Greco-Roman wrestling is. No, it's the sheer aphrodisiacal quality of it all."

SNAP JUDGMENTS, 2011

Is there anything less appealing than the absolute moral certainty with which some Liverpool fans automatically dismissed Patrice Evra’s claim that he was racially abused, and some Manchester United fans automatically wrote off Luis Suárez as a racist, despite neither faction having any way of knowing for sure what actually happened on the pitch on Saturday? Actually, yes. There is something less appealing. It is Her Majesty’s Press larding on the hints of the insta‑judgment to which they have come on the matter.

WHEN I SELL YOU TO CREWE, 2011

Karren Brady was introduced to the squad, only for one player to declare: “I can see your tits in that top.” “Don't worry,” she soothed, “when I sell you to Crewe you won't be able to see them from there, will you?” He was indeed transferred. Illustration for the MARINA HYDE column.

REFLECTING BRITAIN, 2011

The deeply questionable idea that sports stars should be role models off the pitch has become axiomatic

Good quote "Players do not create society – they reflect it. Pretending it's the other way around is just a useful cop-out." Illustration for the MARINA HYDE column. Guardian Sport backpage.
