Unlike the timid owners of the Cleveland Indians and the Kansas City Chiefs, Notre Dame University isn’t buckling under pressure from the sports nickname gestapo. Neither is former Fighting Irish football coach Lou Holtz. After a survey by Quality Logo disparaged Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish leprechaun, the university and former coach basically told nickname Nazi’s to pound sand.

Last summer’s over-the-top NFL social justice blitz in the wake of the George Floyd murder didn’t go far enough? Believe it or not, anonymous player agents called the NFL’s actions BS and nothing more than window dressing. Even though a large swath of fans thought it was overkill and stopped watching the games.

Death is supposed to respectfully bring people together to honor someone’s memory – even if they were political opponents. Not so, though, with tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who did a social media happy dance over the COVID-19 death of conservative Tennessee talk show host Phil Valentine, a vaccination skeptic. It seems this lefty is not at all concerned about COVID-19 deaths when it…

Crikey, Nike strikes another hypocritical blow for woke social justice nonsense. Its new video promotes gay women and the USA women’s Olympic basketball team, while slamming patriarchy as “ancient history.” Nike is also attempting to deflect attention away from its support for China and for abusing its own women’s track team.

ESPN’s flagship woke talk program, First Take, is reportedly anticipating a major split. Media reports say Max Kellerman will be removed from the program he co-hosts with Stephen A. Smith and will re-surface on an ESPN radio program. Kellerman has been a shining example of woke derangement syndrome during his five years on the program.

Why is Colin Kaepernick included as a quarterback in the Madden 22 NFL video game? He’s been OUT of the pro football game for five years. It’s because EA, which produces the game, is evidently interested in profiting off social justice warrior dollars.

The Washington Post has “spent this baseball season examining the experiences of nine African American ballplayers, from a 90-year-old icon to an 18-year-old prospect,” according to an introduction to it’s series of articles called “The Nine.” It’s an exercise that’s supposed to tell readers important things “about this game and this country.”

In true communist fashion, China is spewing propaganda about having won the medal count at the recently completed Tokyo Summer Olympics. This is nothing short of an attack on Olympic medal integrity because the USA actually won the medal count with 113 medals to China’s 88. The United States also edged China in gold medals, 39-38.

The producers of an upcoming documentary on Colin Kaepernick launched a blitz to promote it over the weekend. Screenwriter Michael Starrbury raved about Kaepernick’s acting abilities and suggested the fierce social justice warrior radical should play a Marvel superhero. Kaepernick quickly agreed to that.

Vaccine mandates have reached into college football. Tulane University is the first major college football school to require so-called vaccine “passports,” and it now remains to be seen if other universities will follow like lemmings.

Last Night, the New York Yankees played the Chicago White Sox in the twilit Iowa cornfield where the classic sentimental baseball movie* “Field of Dreams" was filmed. The game turned out great, a classic AL slugfest the White Sox won 9-8 with a walk-off homer. And it seems like a win for baseball. But the The Washington Post couldn’t leave it at that.

Caitlyn Jenner wears dresses and pretends to be a woman now, but still wants to take credit for winning Olympic gold as the male Bruce Jenner in 1976. Jenner this week tweeted a tribute to Bruce’s past athletic exploits and cemented his role as a divider within the LGBTQIAetc community for “deadnaming” himself.

What if they threw an Olympics and nobody watched? NBC execs are finding out. They have a ratings disaster on their hands. The network has broadcast the Summer Games since 1988, and the ratings have never been as dismal as Tokyo 2021. 

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.
