Outsports website co-founder Cyd Zeigler could not be happier with this year's Dodgers-Red Sox World Series matchup. It's a "dream World Series for the LGBTQ community," declares Zeigler, the author of Fair Play, a book exploring how LGBT athletes "have claimed their rightful place in sport." He considers this year's Fall Classic extra special because the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers…

In an op-ed in today's Washington Post opinion section, no doubt timed for the election 12 days from now, former Olympic men's decathlon champion Caitlyn Jenner (see file photo) faults herself for voting for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2016.

This season, sportscasters and writers are waging an all-out blitz on NFL teams to sign the renegade free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The dismissal of Denver's backup quarterback and the poor play of quarterbacks in Jacksonville and New York have heightened media demands for their man Kap. For NFL beat reporters and talk show hosts, calling for Kaepernick's return to pro football has…

To The Atlantic's Saahil Desai, college sports have too much of the wrong complexion. As a matter of fact, he writes, college sports at elite schools are really an "affirmative action" program for rich white kids.

An ugly scene preceding Sunday's Philadelphia-Carolina NFL game showed a house divided among the NFL's social justice warriors and, in some cases, the sports media.

Is Paul McCartney available to once again bail out the troubled Super Bowl halftime program? The NFL may want to think about bringing in the former Beatles legend because the scourge of social justice activism is wreaking havoc with the big game's big entertainment event.

October 16 marked the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Olympic Games protest by U.S. sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos. Their black power salute on the medal stand at Mexico City outraged many Americans and divided the media, but today the united American media celebrates them as royalty. Media treat another athlete reviled by many, Colin Kaepernick, as the successor to Smith and Carlos as a…

Author of the recently released book "Big Game: The NFL in Dangerous Times," Mark Leibovich made an appearance earlier this week on The Daily Show. A major theme of his six-minute chat with host Trevor Noah is that NFL owners are predominantly white, Republican and inept. Echoing former President Barack Obama's "you didn't build that" line for the ages, Leibovich says NFL owners are immature…

If social justice warrior athletes follow the advice of David Steele, their activism in sports venues will be an "endless fight."

In 2010, a poll concluded that the Women's NBA is the most far-left sports organization in the land. With a mid-term election fast approaching all indications are that the league remains largely in support of leftist causes. The 2018 "Woke" NBA season recently ended and while many of these players take their games overseas in the league's offseason, others are staying put in hopes of rocking the…

The winner of Sunday's 2018 UCI Women's Masters Track Cycling World Championships in Los Angeles towered over the runners-up on the victory stand.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett took heaps of abuse this past week for opting to punt on fourth-and-one during last Sunday's 19-16 overtime loss to Houston. This weekend, former NFL cornerback Domonique Foxworth, who now writes about racism in sports for ESPN's social justice blog, The Undefeated, made Garrett the poster boy for white privilege at the expense of African-Americans unable…
