The long march forward through offensive sports team nicknames continued Tuesday. Valparaiso, a private Lutheran university in Valparaiso, Ind., did away with its Crusaders nickname, seen by woke school officials as too violent and oppressive.

As if fans didn’t already have ample enough reasons to tune out social justice-warped sports – including the Olympics – this summer. It’s been reported that members of the USA men’s basketball team were intoxicated as they celebrated their Gold medal in Tokyo. It’s just one more reason to tune out of big-time sports, woke as it is and now even more unworthy of respect.

Going by the media coverage, it may seem like the 2021 Tokyo Olympics is all about the Megan Rapinoes, trans weightlifters, and non-binary gymnasts. But if you dig a little deeper into the competition’s rosters and medal winners, you’ll find that there are many humble and gracious Christians who are giving glory to God with their victories.

Subway franchises are demanding the home office call a red card on soccer radical Megan Rapinoe. They and some of their customers want Subway to pull ads featuring Rapinoe, one of which involves her kicking a ball at a man, knocking the burrito out of his hands and telling him to order a Subway sandwich instead. The ad campaign began this spring and opposition to it is growing.

During a roundtable discussion with reporters, the IOC invoked numerous references to science that indicate it has no clue on what sound science even looks like pertaining to gender.

American shot putter Raven Saunders defied the International Olympic Committee Sunday by protesting on a victory podium in Tokyo. She claimed the Silver Medal, then broke the IOC’s Rule 50 banning victory stand protests. Saunders crossed her arms in an X symbol to protest oppression.

The National Basketball Association is bringing in former President Barack Obama to help it export wokeball social justice to Africa. Obama confirmed he is joining the NBA’s Africa project to help advance “social responsibility” across the continent.

Warpaint, the Kansas City Chiefs long-time pony mascot, has been deemed politically incorrect, booted out of the ball game and her official web page has been removed. She’s the latest victim of the purging of Indian nicknames and traditions amid the woke madness that’s ruining pro sports.

Friday’s opening ceremonies for the Tokyo Olympics provided more painful truth for Big Sports. The U.S. television audience for the event was the lowest it’s been in the 21^st century, further indicating how badly Americans are rejecting woke sports.
