Culture
August 15th, 2015 10:10 AM
For the second time in just over two months since Michael Sam joined the CFL Montreal Alouettes, he is leaving the team. This time it sounds like it’s for good.
Sam, a defensive end from Missouri, came out as gay before the 2014 NFL draft, to the triumphal declarations from ESPN and the media at large. When the confetti settled, the “Gay Jackie Robinson” was drafted in the seventh round by the…

ESPN Host Fired for Dominican Baseball Comments
July 25th, 2015 11:25 AM
Apparently, baseball is so simple that even a Dominican can do it! At least that was the sentiment expressed by the now-former ESPN, and possibly never-going-to-be Fox Sports 1 host Colin Cowherd, who on Thursday’s edition of his show “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” broke with one of his longtime patterns and devoted an entire segment to baseball.
If Colin had any idea that this particular…

The Lefty ESPYS: 'Caitlyn' Not the First Political Awardee
July 14th, 2015 4:21 PM
ESPN will continue promoting liberal agenda items on Wednesday at their annual ESPY Awards. Every year, they hand out the Arthur Ashe Courage Award to an individual or group whose accomplishments have “transcended” sports. This year’s recipient will be Bruce Jenner, who transcended reality and declared he’s a woman. Oh and he won that decathlon 40 years ago (as a man), so that’s why it’s related…

June 25th, 2015 11:26 AM
If Dan Snyder and the NFL don’t change the name of the Washington Redskins, people will die. At least that’s what Keith Olbermann ranted during his ESPN show Wednesday afternoon. How did he come to this conclusion? By comparing it to the Confederate flag, of course.

ESPN Defends Decision to Give Award to Caitlyn Jenner for 'Courage'
June 4th, 2015 7:49 PM
Perhaps you've seen it -- the photo of Noah Galloway, a double-amputee veteran of the Iraq war and crowd-pleasing contestant on Dancing With the Stars, with this caption -- "Caitlyn Jenner won the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. The runner up was this guy: Army Veteran Noah Galloway, who lost an arm and leg to a roadside bomb in Iraq, and now competes in Crossfit events, runs marathons, and competed…

USA Today: Redskins Should Never Joke about Pale Faces
May 15th, 2015 10:59 AM
“Dad, what’s ‘humor?’
“Well, it was a way of talking about things – mixing truth with absurdity or irony – that helped us navigate uncomfortable issues. It made people smile and laugh. They even allowed it in the media sometimes. But that was all long ago, before the Rise of the Perpetually Offended.”
If you think that conversation is far-fetched, get a load of USA Today’s Ted Berg. Berg got…

Nets Erase FLOTUS from ‘Bring Back our Girls’ Reporting
May 5th, 2015 2:23 PM
Remember “#BringBackOurGirls?” It was the relentlessly hyped and utterly silly Twitter campaign aimed at the African Islamist terror group Boko Haram. It’s hard to know if anyone actually thought tweets would get radical Islamists to release the nearly 300 Christian girls abducted from their school in Chibok, Nigeria. But it did allow Western liberals to advertise their sympathy. And…

At NewsBusters this morning, Matthew Philbin posted on how Michael Eric Dyson, in a guest appearance on MSNBC (where else?), placed a great deal of blame for Baltimore's blight on "the ways in which the Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles with their tax-exempt status were given tremendous goodies to stay into the city."
It would be reasonable to believe that Dyson, who has revealed a vengeful…

April 16th, 2015 3:23 PM
On Tuesday’s Washington D.C. ESPN 980’s “The Tony Kornheiser Show,” host and Obama golfing buddy Tony Kornheiser let fly with an inferno of silly in reaction to Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-FL) announcement that he intends to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.

Book Details Sports ‘Bias in the Booth’
March 4th, 2015 1:00 PM
It ain’t just you. Politics and ideology really are encroaching more on your favorite diversions, especially sports. And you can thank the usual suspects: journalists.
From Michael Sam to the Redskins to gun control and race relations, the very liberal sports media increasingly inject their preoccupations into their coverage. They just can’t leave you alone to enjoy the game – they have to “…
