Spread over last weekend and the approaching weekend, the NFL is allowing its players to wear customized spikes promoting various causes. SB Nation Outsports is miffed that no NFL players have ever chosen to wear LGBTQ-specific shoes for the My Cause My Cleats promotion and, to its chagrin, three players chose to support the so-called anti-gay Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).

Had enough 24/7 social justice and Black Lives Matter with your football yet? Before you answer, know this: CBS and the National Football League don’t believe you have. They’re planning to double down on political correctness and virtue signaling in the upcoming Super Bowl game, set to be played Feb. 7 in Tampa.

The popularity of the National Football League, a long-time American cultural icon, is going down the tubes. Television viewership for the NFL has been steadily plummeting for 10 years, and the numbers for Week 12 of this season are dreadful as well. Sports fans will only tolerate a league characterized by disgusting protests, uncivil behavior and Super Bowl halftime trash for so long before…

Sports writers aren’t demanding a female Vanderbilt University place-kicker be awarded the Heisman Trophy – not yet anyway – but they can hardly contain themselves over Sarah Fuller’s farcical appearance Saturday in a Southeastern Conference football game.

The pro football franchise known as "Washington Football Team" -- mired in a sexual harassment scandal -- mocked President Donald Trump on their uncensored Twitter account Thursday. The team's political statement about an election night remark by Trump prompted Newsweek magazine to pile on and promote the left-stream media theme that there is no evidence of election fraud.

It's official. The entertainer known as The Weeknd will provide the substandard gutter garbage, sexually explicit, vulgar rot. We're not talking about MTV or even the Grammy Awards here. He's actually the NFL's pathetic choice to headline the 2021 Super Bowl halftime show.

Mike Freeman's toxic new book on sports and social justice fanaticism starts out with plenty of Kaepernick worship and Trump hatred in the preface and introduction. Considering the source, it's no wonder because Freeman has was recently named the Sports, Race and Inequality Editor at USA Today.

Next Monday night's NFL game pitting the Rams against the Buccaneers will feature the first game in the league's history with an all-Black officiating crew, and USA Today's Jarrett Bell ridiculously blows the significance of this out of proportion. He also exploits it to re-open ages-old wounds about racism in America and in football.

NFL reject Colin Kaepernick is re-directing his utter hatred of America's public safety officers to the freeing of cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. The Philadelphia radical was convicted of first-degree murder for killing Philadelphia police officer and U.S. Army veteran David Faulkner in 1981.

On Monday, retired NFL star Burgess Owens was declared the winner of Utah's fourth congressional district after incumbent Congressman Ben McAdams (D) conceded, but the liberal sport media wasted no time in characterizing him as a right-winger who criticizes Black Lives Matter and Colin Kaepernick.

Earlier this year, the National Football League toyed with the idea of an affirmative action plan that would improve the draft lot of teams hiring minority coaches and executives. On Tuesday, a modified version of that nutty plan became reality, drawing varied reactions from the sports media.

Since Election Day Tuesday, Newsweek sports reporter Dan Cancian cranked out five stories on athletes and coaches taking different sides of the political spectrum. The most notable story centers on former Milwaukee Bucks Coach George Karl saying his team of social justice warriors pushed Joe Biden to victory in Wisconsin.

At Deadspin, the philosophy is if you don't have anything bad to say about someone -- particularly Trump supporters -- don't say anything. Jesse Spector has plenty of negative things to say about famous sports figures backing the president, and he's spewing all of it in a Deadspin slideshow.

In the week leading up to the elections, ESPN President Jimmy Pitaro earned a big Pinocchio. He keeps saying his organization is not political, but his nose keeps growing longer and longer. "We are not a political organization," Pitaro has said in the past, but the network website currently features a six-part series on -- you guessed it -- politics.
