Toxic Tweeter Jemele Hill on Sunday managed to lower her subterranean social media bar by writing the U.S. is worse than Hitler's Nazi Germany. Taking the first line in Sam Cooke's old song "Wonderful World," Hill showed she "Don't know much about history," but as a race baiter extraordinaire this African American woman knows how to bludgeon the country that's made her famous and wealthy.

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…

The NFL season hasn't even begun yet, but the Kansas City Chiefs are already sanitizing Arrowhead Stadium -- of Indian headdresses. It's just another way a large U.S. organization hopes to make the public think that they, too, are out in front of the curve on addressing racial sensitivities.

This month's HBO episode of Real Sports, with host Bryant Gumbel, chronicled the downward spiral of Major League Baseball's first social justice protester. After taking a knee in 2017, Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell soon played his way out of baseball, suffered through depression, went to jail, and has bounced around the minor leagues since then. Gumbel called Maxwell's comeback story…

In mocking the president he hates, LeBron James raised eyebrows Tuesday by parking himself under a Make America Great Again hat. James' hat displayed an altered version of MAGA, crossing out the words "Great Again" and adding a message about Breonna Taylor, an African American woman who was shot to death by police in Louisville in March.

An in-depth New York Times examination of the controversy over males competing in women's sports stumbles out of the starting blocks and limps home to the finish line. The story by Gillian R. Brassil and Jeré Longman on Tuesday is mostly supportive of transgenders competing with opposite-gender sports and cites some dubious sources.

We've moved on from Black Lives Matter to Black Voters Matter, thanks to LeBron James and his voter suppression-fighting posse. In conjunction with the More Than A Vote organization, the NBA superstar activist and other woke athletes signed a letter Monday urging African Americans to combat Black voter suppression in 2020.

Over the weekend, media on the Right and the Left cast doubts on the intent and impact of social justice actions taking place in college and professional sports. Appearing on Fox News Saturday, Outkick's Jason Whitlock said the pro athletes staging social justice protests falsely think they are moving the country forward, and it will take years for sports to recover from the divisiveness they'…

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. 

"Police brutality" is not the proper way to describe the nature of American policing, says the Boston Celtics' cop-hating forward Jaylen Brown. He prefers the term "domestic terrorism," and Newsweek magazine gave him an unquestioned forum to level his outrageous charge.

In regard to football and COVID-19 Tuesday, President Donald Trump took on hostile fire from New York magazine and found safe harbor in a discussion with Clay Travis on Fox Sports Radio.  NY mag's Will Leitch blamed the president and a lack of federal guidelines for the crumbling of the 2020 college football season. President Trump said college players have been working hard in hopes of…

A former NFL player and current Republican candidate for Congress in Utah drew positive press from Newsweek magazine Saturday for opposing national anthem protests and for defending an NBA player who refused to kneel. Newsweek's Benjamin Fearnow gave Burgess Owens fair treatment for his remarks on Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac's courageous stand, just days after an ESPN knucklehead…

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…

WNBA players openly campaigning for a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate sure look and act like a political action committee. Many of the players are wearing "Vote Warnock" shirts as a show of opposition to Atlanta Dream co-owner Kelly Loeffler, a U.S. senator seeking re-election who previously wrote a letter to the WNBA commissioner scalding Black Lives Matter.
