Editor’s LetterThe Sports Issue

Kia ora koutou

And welcome to another cracker issue of MASSIVE. This week we are feeling the team spirit and matching FIFA energy for our Sports Issue. We look at the energetic and diverse world of sports, exploring our sporting faves and... in typical MASSIVE style... fails. Look. We're not the sportiest bunch, or at least not in the conventional sense. The writer's meeting was weird with this theme, so we got creative. From Aiden the Space Jam commentator to Elizabeth's misery memoir of P.E. in high school. We can do serious too though, we contain multitudes. Cameron, our Te Ao Maori editor opens our eyes to the ‘kiwiana-fication’ of the haka Ka Mate, and I take a feminist look at the sports industry, in light of the FIFA Women's World Cup. Of course, we have the regular juicy news from Sammy and Brett. It's all going on at Massey University lately, and our news team are ALL over it.

So, get your game face on!
