Canada Hockey Legend Cherry Slashed for Immigrant Remarks
Culture
Hockey legend Don Cherry just went into the penalty box for life. You might say he was whistled for "slashing" political correctness.

The former hockey player and NHL coach was…

Sports Illustrated Praises TNT After Barkley's Oral Sex Jokes
Culture
When the media won't stick to sports, it doesn't necessarily mean they're focusing on politics and social justice. Sometimes they find all three too boring to bother with, and that's when you get Thursday night's disgusting, juvenile Inside the NBA on TNT. And Sports Illustrated's pathetic admiration for that cultural rot on Friday.
