Intramural esports FIFA team accidentally bans female players By Delaney Allen @DelaneyAllen0

Several female students were reportedly barred from signing up for an esports FIFA tournament hosted by the Colorado State University Intramural Sports team last week.

Addy Morris, second-year marketing and management major, and Callie Marshall, second-year human development and family studies major, reportedly tried to sign up for a FIFA tournament, a popular soccer video game, hosted by CSU’s IM recreation team.

When they attempted to sign up, an error message appeared, reading “This League is restricted to a different gender, please change the league.” Morris reported she had to reach out by email and phone call, and even then, she didn’t hear an immediate response back.

“They called me back, but by then, there was only one spot left,” Morris said. “They tried to tell us only one of us could play, but I told them that wasn’t fair, because we would’ve had spots if we weren’t restricted by gender.”

Each year, the Alumni Association collects nominations from current students and alumni for who they believe was a teacher or professor that truly made an impact on their lives. This year, the winners of the Best Teacher Award come from everywhere, ranging from liberal arts to natural sciences. Mike Humphrey - College of Liberal Arts, Department of Journalism and Media Communication For Mike Humphrey, teaching provides the opportunity to never stop learning. Humphrey, who teaches online storytelling and digital engagement classes, draws off of his decades in the field to teach future journalists about the constantly-shifting industry of news writing. “I still think a lot about how I can help you learn what will get you ready for an ever-changing media landscape,” Humphrey said. “A lot of it is about tools, like learning how to write and doing video and audio, but I’ve realized that there’s something about the brain that has to happen too. That is the key tool when it comes to things that are constantly changing on you.” Humphrey’s colleague-to-colleague teaching style, which he developed from years of working in a community newsroom, helps him relate to, as well as learn from, his students.
