Seriously: The 2022 Olympics were the greatest Olympics of all time

Seriously: The 2022 Olympics were the greatest Olympics of all time

JD Meltzner, Opinion Editor • March 2, 2022
Ah, the Olympic Games; a time-honored celebration of athletics, competition, glory and national pride. It’s an event that brings the world together in a harmonious two-week period that shows off the best of us. The 2022 Beijing Olympics were deemed by many to be a mockery of these values, but simply put, that’s just a crock of shit.  I’ve seen a lot of commentary lately saying the location choices for some of the events were questionable. I’m here to tell you that making these athletes compete surrounded by a toxic-looking, dystopian landscape was a purposeful decision.

Henry: CSU could lift mask mandate if students accept possible reversal

Brendan Henry, Collegian Columnist • March 1, 2022
At the beginning of last year, COVID-19 vaccines were released with the intent that the world would soon return to normalcy after a year of enduring the pandemic. A year has passed and little has changed by means of mask mandates and restrictions, yet many people in Larimer County are vaccinated and have a much lower infection rate than folks that are not. With students at Colorado State University being required to have both the vaccination and a booster, it should be just fine to no longer have to wear a mask.

Lopez: More can be done in fight for diversity, representation at CSU

Dominique Lopez, Collegian Columnist • March 1, 2022
College diversity statistics often play an important role in how students decide where they want to spend the next chapter of their life, as well as where they feel the most comfortable. As a student of color, this is something I searched for when it came to finding a college to attend. Colorado State University doesn’t have a very high racial diversity rate, with only 30% of the University's population reported as nonwhite; however, I still chose the school, feeling that I had found a place where I belonged.

Eckburg: The Olympics needs to do better by young athletes

Eckburg: The Olympics needs to do better by young athletes

Bella Eckburg, Opinion Director • February 28, 2022
The 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, China, brought us an array of events full of exemplary athletic prowess. As millions of people tuned in to watch, a clear shift emerged in how we all consume Olympic content — with TV ratings at an all-time low and significantly more people watching on different streaming services and devices.  If you were active on social media, you would have seen the surplus of commentary and reactions to the events, but one group of athletes took center stage — unfortunately, it had little to do with their incredible athleticism.
