It's official. The entertainer known as The Weeknd will provide the substandard gutter garbage, sexually explicit, vulgar rot. We're not talking about MTV or even the Grammy Awards here. He's actually the NFL's pathetic choice to headline the 2021 Super Bowl halftime show.

The Deadspin blog is a veritable "Democratspin" again with three currently appearing attacks on Republicans, over the election investigation, campus sexual assaults and COVID-19. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, presidential attorney Rudy Giuliani and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem all took broadside hits from "Democratspin" partisan hacks. The so-called "sports" blog is a full-fledged anti-…

In a column published Wednesday, Outkick’s Jason Whitlock addressed a critique about comedian Dave Chappelle’s Saturday Night Live monologue. According to Whitlock, Chappelle succumbed to the “black group-think” that the stand-up artist has spent a large portion of his career avoiding, and athletes, like LeBron James, have spent a large portion of their careers embracing.

If a sports analogy can be used to describe America's presidential election it would be "the play is under further review." However, high-profile Trump-hating athletes are already claiming "the ruling on the field stands." Even though recounts and legal challenges have not been resolved.

Any way you look at it -- and judging from the ratings, you haven’t looked at it -- 2020 has been a disaster for spectator sports. Covid interrupted or delayed all the major professional sports for long months, and when they did resume, they were made unwatchable by Black Lives Matter antics. Even an excellent World Series won by a major-market franchise drew 32% fewer viewers than last year…

Former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville won election to the U.S. Senate Tuesday and drew a thorough, vile trashing from Deadspin writer Sam Fels. Tuberville is a shit heel, psychopath and would-be tyrant, Fels roars.

At Deadspin, the philosophy is if you don't have anything bad to say about someone -- particularly Trump supporters -- don't say anything. Jesse Spector has plenty of negative things to say about famous sports figures backing the president, and he's spewing all of it in a Deadspin slideshow.

In the week leading up to the elections, ESPN President Jimmy Pitaro earned a big Pinocchio. He keeps saying his organization is not political, but his nose keeps growing longer and longer. "We are not a political organization," Pitaro has said in the past, but the network website currently features a six-part series on -- you guessed it -- politics.

President Donald Trump is gaining support from MMA fighters and legendary sports figures, causing consternation for USA Today, which was none too pleased about this development. Jack Nicklaus and Brett Favre made headlines this week for lending their support to the president, golfer Bryson DeChambeau is a Trumper and Politico featured the anti-wo bros -- several fighters who've come…

With all do respect to delicate, pearl-clutching matrons, why are so many of them attracted to writing about sports? Check out The Washington Post’s Barry Svrluga and his more-in-sorrow scolding of L.A. Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner for celebrating his world series win with the team. (And Svrluga isn't the only one.)

LeBron James and other social justice warriors in the NBA have been talking a lot about "change" this year, and a USA Today story confirms that it's a full-fledged war on President Donald Trump's bid for re-election.

Don't be that guy? Deadspin hate-monger Jesse Spector proudly claims to be "that guy" and his latest diatribe proves it. In his article "Sit down, jerk ― the flag doesn't have cancer," Spector says the people who complain about politics in sports are themselves politicizing it, in numerous ways.

A wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals driving on his way to Sunday's game against Seattle weaved in and out of a Trump caravan and showed his middle fingers to participants. Yahoo writer Meredith Cash defended him as a "legend" exercising his free speech rights. For acting like a complete buffoon and total jerk.

During President Donald Trump's Wednesday Town Hall, host Eric Bolling indicated that NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre submitted a video with a question about how pro sports can present anti-racism messaging without alienating fans. The Washington Post's Des Bieler used this story as an opportunity to justify the social justice activism that's pushing fans away from sports.…
