Considering UCR has a mix of different genders, ethnicities and sexualities among the student body, why has the headliner position of arguably the biggest school coordinated event reserved for only male performers?

Block Party is an annual concert held by the Associated Students Program Board (ASPB). The student run organization is funded by fees charged to each individual student quarterly. Every fall since 1999, three artists and one DJ perform on campus during welcome week to create the first taste of independence for many freshman students. It is a highly attended event that runs out of spots for entries days before anticipated.

I'm not just talking about the National Football L I'm not just talking about the National Football League (NFL) when I say ‘Football season is here and it is thriving,’ I'm also talking about collegiate football as well.

Regardless of the sport, a team rivalry makes a game more interesting to watch. Whether a team is competing for a championship, advancement into the playoffs or just bragging rights a person never wants to miss a big rivalry game.
