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…

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…

In November 2015, three years after taking the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl, quarterback Colin Kaepernick was benched in favor of Blaine Gabbert, a career journeyman most recently unsuccessful with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The following preseason, Kaepernick began donning garb designed to mock police officers, including socks with cops dressed as pigs.

There is very little new under the sun. The monument and statue destruction that we are witnessing has been witnessed in other times and other places. A tyrant's first battlefield is to rewrite history. Most notable were the political purges of Joseph Stalin. The Soviet government erased figures from Soviet history by renaming cities —  such as the Imperial capital of St. Petersburg to…

Jason Whitlock, the courageous African American commentator bucking the left-stream media from his new post at Outkick The Coverage sports blog, has dared to challenge the here-to-fore unquestioned racist cop narrative of George Floyd's death. With civil unrest raging and media and athletes screaming about systemic racism and defunding police departments, Whitlock says newly released video…

Here's a big no thank you from sports fans to the NBA and Major League Baseball! Both leagues felt some cold shoulders from alienated fans objecting to over-the-top social justice protests recently when they resumed play. Discontent has been evident in television ratings since the NBA started up with games at the bubble in Orlando's Disney World and baseball returned with regional play in team…

You can spell hypocrite "P-O-P-O-V-I-C-H." After all his mouthing off about systemic racism, San Antonio Spurs' Head Coach Greg Popovich refused to kneel Friday with his team during the national anthem. USA Today sports reported Saturday that…

It takes a lot of guts to swim upstream against the Black Lives Matter tidal wave sweeping the country. New York Post columnist Phil Mushnick looks like Michael Phelps doing just that in a post exposing pro sports providing cover for the true and troubling nature of BLM

By stenciling the phrases "End Racism" and "It Takes All Of Us" across end zones for home openers this fall, the NFL is ducking several messages for which it needs to take ownership. The league and its players plan to portray themselves as high-minded social justice heroes, when in fact many of them have sorry records of uncivil behavior that continue to go unaddressed.

On Friday's episode of TNT's "The Arena," Charles Barkley briefly deviated from the social justice narrative to question how long sports fans will stomach the media's obsession with non-stop racism and Black Lives Matter. Co-panelist Draymond Green, who plays forward for the Golden State Warriors, tried to steer Barkley back on course by insisting that people will be on the right side of…

Instead of opening with another thundering denouncing of white people, Thursday night's fourth episode of "The Arena" focused on racism as a "global pandemic" and put the heat on professional sports owners to provide space for social justice activities. Especially conservative owners who haven't yet aided the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.

Here we go! Kneeling season has begun, courtesy of the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Angels in two preseason exhibition games. This promises to be the grand-daddy of all kneeling seasons, especially in pro football and pro basketball, which start up later.

Bob Costas is set to bring "valuable opinions" as a contributor to a new employer -- CNN. Some of those opinions made him very unpopular during his many years at NBC, where he bloviated about gun control, the future of football and team nicknames during NFL broadcasts. He left NBC, for whom he also hosted the Olympics for 24 years, in 2017, not on the best of terms.

Outkick The Coverage blogger/commentator Jason Whitlock wowed Mark Levin Friday in explaining to him how clueless professional athletes are when it comes to the Marxist anarchist Black Lives Matter movement they are supporting. Whitlock also stated that LeBron James and Colin Kaepernick are "useful idiots," a reference to Vladimir Lenin's strategy of spreading communist propaganda through…
