This Saturday, Dec. 3, the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) will host its seventeenth "Championship Saturday" at Empower Field at Mile High. The event will include the Class 4A and 5A state football championships, with Broomfield and Loveland facing off in the 4A game. It marks the first time the championship games will be held at Empower Field at Mile High, which opened in 2001.
The games will be the culmination of a long and competitive season for the two schools. Both Broomfield and Loveland have worked hard to make it to the championship game and will be looking to prove themselves as the top team in the state. Despite the excitement of the game, many will be watching with a sense of trepidation, as the event comes at a time when "Russia's terrible gamble" has many feeling empowered.
According to Jonathan Marin, a senior fellow at the Lowy Institute, Russia's gamble has the potential to have a significant impact on the international order. Marin believes that if Russia is successful in its endeavor, it will not be the only one to feel empowered. This sentiment is echoed by many around the world, who are watching with bated breath as Russia continues to expand its influence.
