In the first month of 2020, Fox Sports gave to us its rejection of pro-life Super Bowl ads – while accepting drag queens, social justice warriors and gun control. The pro-life group Faces of Choice attempted to purchase advertising time, but never got a response from Fox. NBC reporter Liam Knox called the drag queen ad "barrier-breaking.”

Perhaps disappointed that the National Football League had the audacity to play this year, New York Times “Sports of the Times” columnist Kurt Streeter found another way to attack the league from the left – the tired old hobbyhorse of allegedly offensive American Indian nicknames. “A Growing Movement Tired of Being Your Mascots” is the latest dose of guilt-ridden consciousness-raising…

LGBT royalty Billie Jean King and Megan Rapinoe are among the 176 women who signed a friend of the court brief demanding the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (aka “Ninth Circus”) overturn Idaho’s law H.B. 500 requiring athletes to compete with the teams of their actual gender.

This year in American sports was more of a movement than a time of athletic achievement. It was also about staying safe from COVID-19, speaking out for Black Lives Matter, racial justice and political activism, and opposing systemic racism and voter suppression. The New York Times’ review of the year gives deference to off-the-court/field issues over championships won. 

Having exorcised the White house of the demon Trump, you might think legacy media would ease up, tack toward the middle and tone down the “woke” hysteria. If the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times are indicators, forget it.

Though few believe it, ESPN swears that it’s not a political network. Many of its personalities just happen to hate conservatives. Keith Olbermann and former SportsCenter co-host Jemele Hill are legendary among them, and a few days ago, ESPN’s Domonique Foxworth bashed the Buffalo Bills’ quarterback Josh Allen and his American flag- and dog-loving fans.

To no one’s surprise, LeBron James is Time magazine’s athlete of the year and one of Sports Illustrated’s sportspersons of the year. James had another big year of championship basketball, but this award is every bit as much about social justice as it is about the Lakers championship and James's stat line.

Why should former NFL player Colin Kaepernick hate America? After all, the country gave him a home, an education, and a great sports league to showcase his talents (that is, it was great before it became a platform for social justice activists). Despite these blessings, Kaepernick is resolved to fight against America for the sake of “social justice”-- and he’s recruited a new ally to help him…

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) wants in the club, the Black Lives Matter-style protest club, along with the cool people – the NBA, WNBA, NFL and Major League Baseball. If the International Olympic Committee agrees, American athletes will have the green light to embarrass their country during the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo starting July 23.

The popularity of the National Football League, a long-time American cultural icon, is going down the tubes. Television viewership for the NFL has been steadily plummeting for 10 years, and the numbers for Week 12 of this season are dreadful as well. Sports fans will only tolerate a league characterized by disgusting protests, uncivil behavior and Super Bowl halftime trash for so long before…

Sports writers aren’t demanding a female Vanderbilt University place-kicker be awarded the Heisman Trophy – not yet anyway – but they can hardly contain themselves over Sarah Fuller’s farcical appearance Saturday in a Southeastern Conference football game.

It’s been nearly two months since the increasingly unpopular NBA stumbled to the end of the 2020 season, but its spineless commissioner and a reliably left-wing sports-writer are still making excuses for America tuning out the social justice-crazy league. Commissioner Adam Silver said in a GQ interview that there is zero data for claims by President Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz that…

Social justice firebrand Megan Rapinoe wasn't even on the U.S. national women's soccer team's active roster, but the squad was more radical than ever before Friday's 2-0 friendly match win over The Netherlands. Most team members knelt for the national anthem and they spread the Black Lives Matter "gospel" while insisting their activism was not political.

In a publicity stunt that gave virtue-signaling media a thrill up their legs Saturday, Vanderbilt University soccer star Sarah Fuller appeared for one play in a Southeastern Conference football game. Outkick commentator Jason Whitlock threw a big flag on left-stream media for equating this as a symbolic event on a level with Jackie Robinson breaking the race barrier in Major League Baseball in…
