It was a well-known fact that the National Basketball Association pressured Enes Kanter Freedom to stop upsetting China, but now we have the specifics. The Boston Celtics center told Megyn Kelly on Sirius XM that two representatives of the NBA told him to stop wearing shoes with the message “Free Tibet.” When he refused, there were repercussions.

Florida’s Sen. Rick Scott is mad as heck at the NBA over its ties with “murderous and tyrannical” China. And he’s not going to take it anymore. The Republican senator called on the NBA to meet with him over its silence on the commies’ “ongoing genocide.” He also wants the league to support his call for removal of the 2022 Winter Olympics from China.

Last week’s Supreme Court oral arguments over abortion prompted hysterics about so-called “reproductive rights” from many on the Left. Including former tennis player Billie Jean King, who wrote an inane op-ed in the Washington Post defending Roe v. Wade. She tried to make a point that so-called “reproductive rights” are necessary, but also admitted her own abortion in 1971…

The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) is getting roasted for its pathetic treatment of China in the wake of Peng Shuai’s recent disappearance. Unlike the Women’s Tennis Association (WTP), the ATP issued weak statements without even mentioning China. It’s feeble response to China’s human rights violations is drawing a lot of criticism.

Illinois State University is getting hauled into court for intolerance. Former assistant football coach Kurt Beathard is suing the university that fired him in 2020 for removing a Black Lives Matter poster from his office door and replacing it with a Christian-themed "All Lives Matter" sign.

At last, a professional sports association has the guts to stand up to China. It’s the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), and U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (Rep-Texas) says it possesses more of a certain male characteristic than China’s whipping boy, the National basketball Association.

Though he was only 16-years-old, Tate Myre was a captain on the Oxford High School football team in Michigan. It’s no wonder he was also on Toledo University’s radar for his football and leadership skills. The heroic youth sacrificed his life to save the lives classmates during the tragic shooting at his school last Tuesday. Two other students and a teacher were also murdered by a sophomore…

Sarah Fuller, the former Vanderbilt University soccer player, really wowed the easily impressed left-stream media last year when she kicked for the football team a few times. Fuller mania is flaring up again because she’s now working for a sports agency as an adviser on how others can cash in on their names, images and likenesses.

The Omicron coronavirus variant wreaked havoc on sports overseas this weekend. Given this news, guess who is once again ready to sound the alarm for sports over here in the States? Yes, it’s Dr. Anthony Fauci, who’s already using this development to apply another full-court press for vaccinations.

The Wall Street Journal didn’t get the joke. After Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers confirmed he has a broken toe last week, he humorously called it “COVID toe.” That remark was in reference to massive media coverage of him previously catching the coronavirus after not having been vaccinated. The WSJ took the joke as truth – hook, line and sinker – and ran a story on it.…

When comparing the reactions of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and LeBron James to U.S. events with the egregious abuses in China, those two are some piece of work. The NBA issued a statement decrying vigilantism in the U.S., but the league and James seemed to be tongue-tied over the disappearance of Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai. She accused a high-ranking Chinese communist of raping her and…

Want a “model” family that will make you a hero of the Left? Encourage one of your children to claim gender confusion and then tell the world how incredibly wonderful that is. This worked to perfection for former NBA all-star like Dwyane Wade, who said on The Daily Show recently that his transgender son is developing into a beautiful young woman.

The Kenosha race riots and Kyle Rittenhouse jury verdict are now officially complete. Colin Kaepernick has weighed in. He’s added his special blend of America- and cop-hating, tear-it-all-down, abolish the white supremacist system vitriol that has been his stock and trade ever since he torched his NFL career.

It’s 2020 and déjà vu all over again. Athletes misled by President Joe Biden and corrupt left-stream media are once again overdosing on white supremacy Kool-Aid.  False narratives over the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict are pushing them over the edge, just as the Jacob Blake incident did a year ago. Based on their rhetoric, it's not a stretch to think they would have preferred the judge and jury…
