Who We Are
GCR (Gym Class Rejects) is an original idea that came to Ugochukwu Ezenduka during a water break at a futsal game in Kyiv, Ukraine. In 2021, he started gathering stories catered to sports fans tired of reading generic articles about the same old topics.
Our central focus falls on athletes who usually pop up in those “what happened to x” conversations. We pay attention to what happens beyond the arena and within the white lines. Our blog and video content will open your eyes to well-researched opinions and period pieces on topics and athletes in football, basketball, motorsport, and MMA.
We also cover eSports, Darts, F1, and other sporting activities outside the mainstream. If you are looking for inspiring stories of gym class rejects who went on to beat all the odds stacked against them, then GCR is your destination.
We Need You
We’re looking for free-spirited mavericks who can look beyond the game on the screen to tell gripping stories, craft counter-cultural narratives, and stand on the merits of their opinions. Dreamers, artists, historians, and rebels are welcome to our community.
