Mustn’t-See TV: NFL, NBC Plan Social Justice Hour Night Before Opener
It’s been years, but the NFL has finally done something right. The only question is whether Goodell’s crack team of brand burnishers did it on purpose. According to Yahoo Sports, a Thursday NFL press release touted a slate of concessions the league is making to its malcontent millionaire players. Most of them are 2020 get-out-the-vote efforts, including “working with state officials to…
Spit-Take: WashPost Miffed Outkick Would Politicize Sports
Reading the Washington Post is mainly a joyless slog through waist-deep Democrat conventional wisdom and thickets of fashionable lefty platitudes. But the intrepid and alert can sometimes be rewarded with enlightenment. For example, Post sports and media writer Ben Strauss’s long (nearly 2,300 words), deeply hypocritical…
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Nonsense
Check out any professional and most college basketball teams. Their starting five, and most of their other 10 players, are black, as is 80% of the NBA. This does not come anywhere close to the diversity and inclusion sought by the nation's social justice warriors. Both professional and college coaches have ignored and threw any pretense of seeking diversity and inclusiveness. My question to…
New Adult Netflix Cartoon Sexualizes Minors With Porn and Prostitutes
Netflix's Hoops, a raunchy cartoon, is definitely for adults. Just as this series isn’t for kids, neither is its main character, Ben Hopkins (Jake Johnson), who coaches the Lenwood High School basketball team.
But How’s the Hoops? CNN Puffs WNBA’s 'Activist DNA'
Times are probably kind of tight for the WNBA. Coronavirus curtailed its season and drove the ladies into a “bubble” in Bradenton, Florida, disappointing dozens of fans and easily costing hundreds of dollars in lost revenue.
Obama's Counsel For NBA: Go Left, Young Men
CNN portrayed it as an "American crisis": NBA players receiving counsel from their favorite former president -- Barack Obama. At his bidding, the league lurched even further to the Left.

Sports Illustrated Impressed By 'Powerful' Sports Boycotts
Sports Illustrated on Thursday raved over the reactions of pro basketball analysts Kenny Smith and Chris Webber to the NBA's Jacob Blake-inspired boycotts resulting in Wednesday's cancellation of three playoff games. Afterwards, Outkick's Jason Whitlock said these former pro players have been duped by a hollow Nike "Just Do It" mentality and social justice bubble groupthink.
NFL Commish: Sorry, Kaep, Hope Americans Accept Protests This Season
Earlier this year, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell apologized on behalf of his league for not listening to players protesting since 2016. With the season opener just 18 days away, Goodell on Sunday doubled down on his support for social justice activism in his league, praised former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick and said he hopes Americans are ready to accept a new season of heightened…
Partisan LeBron James Setting Up NBA, MLB Polling Places
In an "historic move," would-be "National Director of Voting" LeBron James has landed another professional sports venue as a voting site for November's Election Day. It's Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, which will become the first Major League Baseball ballpark ever to do this.
CNN 'Sports Analyst' Blames GOP for Cancelled College Football
On Wednesday’s New Day, CNN co-host John Berman brought on sports analyst Christine Brennan to fear monger about coronavirus. Acting more like a Democratic operative than a sports analyst, Brennan blamed Republicans for several leagues canceling their college football seasons and spread blatant misinformation about coronavirus by claiming “young men or young women” will “die on the…
Woke Insanity: CNN Decides That Saying a Black Person's Name Is Racist
On Tuesday afternoon’s CNN Newsroom, host John King decided with Washington Post White House Reporter Toluse Olorunnipa that naming a black person and criticizing a sports league is racist. The woke hacks insanely declared that President Trump was using racist “dog whistles” by “naming a black man” when Trump stated that Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) would be in charge of Joe…
Canceled ‘Blackish’ Episode Released on Hulu Blasts ‘Shady King' Trump

SBNation Shocked as NCAA Reconsiders Trans Policy
Kudos to the Idaho conservatives who stood up to LGBT and NCAA bullies and said "no" to transgender males playing on women's sports teams. Earlier this year the state passed a law banning males from muscling in on women's teams, the ACLU filed suit and the NCAA was pressured to withdraw 2021 postseason events from the state. Well the NCAA just flinched, deciding to re-examine its policy…
