One International Game Every Year for Each NFL Team is on 'The Horizon'
Could an increase in international regular-season games a year be in the near future for the NFL? It's certainly a possibility. In fact, an "international game every year for every team" is "probably on the horizon," according to Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, per NBC Sports. Blank's comments during an interview at Falcons training camp on Saturday come months after league commissioner Roger Goodell said last fall that the NFL wants to stage 16 international games per year. The league is limited to a maximum of 10 international games per year under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, but that number is reportedly widely expected to increase to 16 in the next labor deal. With 32 NFL teams, that would be a big lift for the league to schedule that many international games every season. In May, the league announced the full matchups for all but one game in its record seven-game international slate, which includes the Minnesota Vikings playing back-to-back games in different European countries (Ireland and England). The one matchup that hasn't been announced is who the Los Angeles Chargers will play in Week 1 in Brazil. The current schedule is: Week 1 (Friday, Sept. 5): TBD vs. Chargers at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, Brazil (Time TBD) Week 4 (Sunday, Sept. 28): Vikings vs. Steelers at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland (9:30 a.m. ET) Week 5 (Sunday, Oct. 5): Vikings vs. Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England (9:30 a.m. ET) Week 6 (Sunday, Oct. 12): Broncos vs. Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England (9:30 a.m. ET) Week 7 (Sunday, Oct. 19): Rams vs. Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in Wembley, England (9:30 a.m. ET) Week 10 (Sunday, Nov. 9): Falcons vs. Colts at Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany (9:30 a.m. ET) Week 11 (Sunday, Nov. 16): Commanders vs. Dolphins in Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain (9:30 a.m. ET) Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Hamilton jump rope athletes hit world stage in Japan
Double Dutch. Speed. Endurance. Sprint. Freestyle. Athletes from Hamilton's Jumpsations Rope Skipping do it all and more — and nearly two dozen members of the east Mountain club are representing Team Canada at the 2025 World Jump Rope Championships in Japan. Shannon Fox, head coach of Jumpsations Rope Skipping, told The Spectator that 23 athletes from the Rymal Road East club — ranging from preteens to folks in their late 40s — are part of the Steeltown contingent for the national team. While it's not the first time the club, which has grown to more than 150 active members, has seen its athletes qualify for Team Canada, it's the largest delegation Jumpsations has ever sent for an international competition. 'We're really excited,' said Fox, who is also the assistant coach for Team Canada. 'They've all been working so hard.' The World Jump Rope Championships, hosted in Kawasaki, Japan, by the International Jump Rope Union, will see roughly 1,500 competitors from more than 30 countries, with categories spanning from high-speed single rope to double Dutch freestyle. The event, which runs from July 7 to Aug. 3, is broken down into three tournaments — the Junior World Jump Rope Championships, the World Jump Rope Championships and the International Open Tournament. Athletes from Jumpsations are set to compete in both individual and team events in all three tournaments, noted Fox. Jumpsations athlete Aylla Peters is competing for Team Canada at the 2025 World Jump Rope Championships in Japan. Junior jump rope athlete Aylla Peters is competing in a dozen categories across the event, including the double Dutch speed relay, double Dutch pairs freestyle and single rope speed endurance. Peters told The Spectator that she started skipping in a class when she was five years old — and it just stuck. 'I tried all of the other sports and I didn't really like them,' said Peters. 'When I found jump rope, I just loved it.' Japan will mark Peters' third time competing in the international competition for Team Canada. The 14-year-old previously competed in the worlds in Norway as well as the United States. Peters is also a part of the crew that will be representing Canada in the Team Show competition, which will see 12 skippers take part in a five-minute routine against seven other countries. Peters said her favourite part of the sport has been travelling with her teammates, who have turned into her close friends. Jumpsations athlete Sydney Nicholls, pictured in this supplied photo, will represent Team Canada at the 2025 World Jump Rope Championships in Japan. 'We get to travel to these different countries that we likely wouldn't get to go to without jump rope,' said Peters. 'It's exciting and the sport is really growing. It's going to be a lot of fun.' That jump rope-fuelled joy was echoed by fellow Jumpsations athlete Sydney Nicholls, who will be competing in eight categories at the event, including individual single rope freestyle and double Dutch speed sprint. Jumpsations athlete Sydney Nicholls, pictured in this supplied photo, will represent Team Canada at the 2025 World Jump Rope Championships in Japan. Nicholls, 19, has been skipping competitively for more than a decade — this year's worlds will mark her fifth time representing Canada at the international competition. 'The opportunities this sport has given me have been incredible, to say the least,' said Nicholls. 'I feel really proud to wear Canada on my shirt.' Nicholls previously did both gymnastics and jump rope, but when the time came to pick one or the other, she went with the latter because of the creative freedom that comes with the sport. 'It's not rigid, unlike other sports,' said Nicholls. 'We're able to make our routines and work on skills we enjoy.' That aspect of the sport is what sets it apart for many athletes, said Fox, pointing to the 'infinite number of skills' athletes can learn, as well as the ability for folks to find jump rope later on in life. One of the oldest members of Team Canada is in their late 40s, Fox added. 'Skipping is for anybody,' said Fox. 'We truly are a community.'

How to watch 2025 IMSA Road America on Peacock: Streaming info, start times and daily schedules
Acura will try to maintain a two-month win streak in the Grand Touring Prototype category of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. After wins at Detroit (the No. 93 ARX-06) and Watkins Glen International (the No. 60 ARX-06), the Meyer Shank Racing Acuras will return with IMSA's premier division at Road America — where the manufacturer is winless since a 2022 repave. But Tom Blomqvist, who won at Watkins Glen with co-driver Colin Braun, is optimistic after a strong test at the 14-turn, 4.048-mile road course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. 'I'd say it's probably my favorite track from an enjoyment level to drive,' Blomqvist said. 'I think also we're lucky that it's a great track for our car. It really brings out the strengths. 'In the past, it's always been a strong track for us, so I don't see a reason why it's not going to be again. I think we we've really made good gains as a team as well. Every race we're kind of getting better with the new organization, as there's a lot of new faces and new people. I feel like we're just getting stronger. So, yeah, I think we're hopeful that we can fight for the victory again next weekend.' After taking the 2024 season off, MSR has returned to full-time competition with heavier involvement from Honda Racing Corporation in the strategy and engineering of its No. 93 ARX-06. Acura's winning run has interrupted a strong start for Porsche Penske Motorsport, which won the first four races this season (most recently in mid-May at Laguna Seca) and still maintains a healthy lead in the championship standings. Full-time manufacturers BMW and Cadillac are seeking their first GTP wins in 2025. The GTP category has been on a six-week layoff since mid-June at Watkins Glen and returns for the only sprint race that will feature all four divisions of the SportsCar Championship. It's also the last two-hour, 40-minute race for a while at Road America, whose event will increase to six hours next year. Last year, Mathieu Jaminet and Nick Tandy combined for a win in the No. 6 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963. Jaminet remains in the No. 6 with Matt Campbell, and Tandy is paired with Felipe Nasr in the No. 7, which leads the points.
