Cancel culture is not the loss of a Major League Baseball all-star game. It’s the erasing of Black lives, says USA Today race and inequality writer Mike Freeman. In the same story, and in the aftermath of Sunday’s police killing of Daunte Wright in Minneapolis, NBA coach Doc Rivers said Germany cleaned up its racism, but the U.S. has yet to do the same.

We don't know what kind of U.S. senator Herschel Walker would make, but all the right people already hate him.  Deadspin and Democrat partisan Dustin Foote is on high alert over news reports that former President Donald Trump urged football great Herschel Walker to run for the U.S. Senate in Georgia. Walker was selected as one of Deadspin’s 2020 “Idiots of the Year,” he believes in God and is…

Calling all sports bullies to back off, Arizona’s governor says they shouldn’t even think about pulling a “Georgia” and blackmailing his state over voting legislation reform. Critics of pending state legislation on election integrity are already starting a drumbeat to remove major sports events from Arizona, just as Major League Baseball did in removing the all-star game from Atlanta.

Hey LeBron, we found the systemic racism you're looking for. It's been in China all along. A New York Times story by Alexandra Stevenson, Sopan Deb and Cao Li said the NBA may be headed for another “geopolitical firestorm” as the trio noted that reports suggest one million Uyghurs and other largely Muslim ethnic minorities have been imprisoned in Chinese detention camps.

The ratings are in, and Monday’s NCAA men’s basketball championship game drew more than double the television audience of the last NBA Finals. Outkick blogger/Fox Sports Radio host Clay Travis today called it further repudiation of the NBA’s woke culture, and he said the league is destroying the sport popularized by previous generations.

The Masters golf tournament begins Thursday and, writing over at Deadspin, FS1 blowhard Rob Parker blew a gasket that it’s taking place in Augusta, Georgia. He blamed corporations for failing to apply enough pressure on the PGA to get it to move the tournament somewhere else in protest of the state’s new voter integrity law.

Inside the Beltway sportswriter Thomas Boswell reaped the whirlwind for assuming that Major League Baseball knew the nation’s pulse when it took the 2021 all-star game away from Atlanta. He drew a hurricane blowback on Twitter for his outlandish claim that it was baseball’s best move since integrating the game in 1947.

Legendary baseball writer Peter Gammons earned his way into the Hall of Shame Friday by calling Georgia’s Republican governor a KKK member. Gov. Brian Kemp signed election reform into law in March, prompting an insidious backlash and Major League Baseball to pull this year’s All-Star Game out of the Peach State.

Major League Baseball flied deep to Left field politically today, removing the 2021 All-Star Game from Atlanta over Georgia’s new laws aimed at ensuring election integrity. Following the advice of Democrat President Joe Biden, the political partisanship of Coca-Cola and Delta, an alliance of African American players and others, MLB delivered a major rebuke to the new Republican-led election…

President Joe Biden won’t go to the southern border to see the mess he’s made of things down there. He does, however, have time to spend talking sports with ESPN. He spoke on SportsCenter with Sage Steele Wednesday on the topics of Major League Baseball's All-Star Game in Georgia, fan attendance amid the pandemic and pay for women’s soccer players. Truly bad optics considering the state of the…

More than three times as many people who watch sports on television say they are now watching less as say they are watching more as a result of the political and social justice messaging that has been injected into game broadcasts, a new YouGov/Yahoo News survey finds.

“The players on the U.S. women’s national team wish they could simply focus on soccer.” If you are at all familiar with the USWNT, you just did a spit take. That sentence opens Caitlyn Murray’s March 30 Yahoo Sports article on the team, and it’s a genuinely funny start for a piece about USWNT trying to fit race into an already bulging portfolio of things to be aggrieved about.

The U.S. Olympic governing body is caving in to social justice pressure and aiming to allow all kinds of protests at the this year’s Olympic Trials. Kneeling during the national anthem? Social justice slogans? It will be open season for all that and more.

Deadspin race-baiter extraordinaire Carron J. Phillips declared that U.S. mass shootings will decrease if more white people stop wasting their privilege and take a knee in protest. We would have tougher gun control laws if whitey starting kneeling because it is such an effective strategy.
