Women being involved in men’s sports has always been a touchy subject: should women be given opportunities coach men or be making top-tier organizational decisions? Or should it be run and operated by men only?

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the NFL is instituting a COVID-19 safety policy that makes no sense whatsoever. Unfortunately, the latest chapter in the NFL’s COVID insanity novel is being written, as the NFL will now require stricter COVID-19 protocols for players once they return from Thanksgiving.

In the book of Daniel, three young men by the name of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into a fiery furnace after refusing to worship a gargantuan golden god created and instituted by the tyrannical King of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar. While we don’t have a government that is forcing Christians to bow to idols of metal, Christians are increasingly being punished for not bowing to the god…

Vaccinations are not fool-proof preventers of COVID-19. They are, however, “vaccinations” against objective reporting by out-and-out dishonest sports media. The stories of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Minnesota Vikings guard Dakota Dozier and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers are living proof.

To say the NBA’s relationship with the office of the President of the United States has been complicated over the past half-decade is an understatement. The defending NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks visited the White House on Monday, reviving an American sports tradition (the winners of the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB seasons visiting the White House) that had taken a five-year hiatus in the…

It seems as though owners getting in trouble for past comments is what’s trendy in the world of sports. Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver is under immense scrutiny after 70 current and former employees within the Suns organization have come forth and offered personal accounts of racist and misogynistic comments Sarver made over his 17-year tenure.

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has suddenly become one of the great villains in pro sports. He caught the covid this week and it turns out he never got vaccinated. Thus, sneering sports mandarins like Nancy Armour cast him out into the darkness as “anti-science.”

It should not be considered “news” that a Major League Baseball owner donates money to Republican political candidates. But then there’s California’s wildly left-of-center media that contends it is newsworthy. The San Francisco Giants’ owner Charles Johnson supported the Georgia Senate campaign of Herschel Walker, and now he’s getting raked over the coals.

Equality of opportunity is one of the most fundamental philosophies that our country was founded upon: everyone should have an equal opportunity to pursue something they want. However, several high-profile trail running athletes have claimed that their sport does not provide adequate opportunity for minorities or LGTBQ+ members.

Last night, the Atlanta Braves captured their first World Series title in 26 years after taking down the mighty Houston Astros in six games, concluding one of the most improbable championship runs in recent memory. While claiming the title is obviously incredible in itself, there is an added layer of situational irony that makes this victory even sweeter.

Between social justice protests, sordid Super Bowl halftime “entertainment” and vulgar language, the National Football League just can’t stay out of its own way. Last week’s alternate Monday Night Football broadcast on ESPN2 featured an F-bomb by guest Marshawn Lynch, and co-host Peyton Manning apologized for the off-color language.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is known for being bold in his decision-making and unapologetic in the aftermath of his decisions. On Monday, he made another bold decision that will test whether he will stick to his unapologetic ways.

A very simple truth that the world seems to consistently forget is that if a man is allowed to compete against a woman in sports, the man will likely win – in dominating fashion. But because the world is full of stupid people, we had to be reminded of this again thanks to an intergender MMA fight on Friday night.

Whenever People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) makes a complaint regarding animal cruelty, it usually can be taken with a grain of salt. However, if you’re having a bad day, PETA’s new idiotic complaint should at least make you laugh.
