Just days after LeBron James opened his new school for under-privileged third- and fourth-graders in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, hardcore leftist Dave Zirin has given us another Chris Matthews chill-up-the-leg moment. The sports editor of The Nation, Zirin practically bows at the altar of "King" James, extolling the virtues of a school that is socialist in its essence and already political in…

The NFL's annual Hall of Fame Induction ceremony on Saturday became just another high-profile forum for political statements, like the Oscars, the Grammys, the ESPYs and other programs used by leftists to promote their controversial views. Thanks to newly enshrined Hall of Famer Randy Moss (see photograph), the former wide receiver who wore a tie bearing the names of a dozen black men and women…

Social justice warriors and their media pals will not let us forget that Colin Kaepernick is entitled to an NFL roster spot. Now the controversy over the polarizing figure has spilled over into video gaming. Kapernick, we learn, also has a right to be mentioned in video football game soundtracks. His apologists are incensed that the soon-to-be-released EA Madden 19 video game deleted song lyrics…

Gentlemen's Quarterly magazine gave up all pretense of being gentleman-like when it hired Keith Olbermann (who has since returned to ESPN) and the profane writer Drew Magary (see photograph). The latter is holding down the fort outrageously, as evidenced by a torrent of language not fit for men, women or children. On the day the NFL preseason opened with the annual Hall of Fame game in Canton,…

Unwilling to toe the social justice warriors' defiant hard line toward the national anthem, the Dallas Cowboys' African-American quarterback Dak Prescott is reaping vile insults. A rapper who goes by the name of "The Game," directed a Jim Crow-era racial slur at the two-year veteran, and NFL players blasted him as well.

Today's Big Media sports narrative is Major League Baseball's racist and homophobic culture. The Associated Press quoted an anonymous "authority" about baseball's "toxic culture." And USA Today ran a video of veteran baseball writer Bob Nightengale claiming the sport is full of racism. This collective panic attack comes in light of three young major leaguers having recently been exposed for…

The following scene is becoming a part of the 21st century press box at professional sporting events. Bored by the actual game they're paid to cover, sports writers are only passively watching. That's because they're digging into the pitcher's social media history, looking for controversial remarks made years ago by an immature teen-ager.

What do you get when you put a Think Progress sports reporter, a Canadian sports activist and a Hofstra professor together on the same podcast? One capitalist-hating, Trump-hating, NFL protest-loving group of far Left women. On the most recent edition of Burn It All Down — "the feminist podcast you need" — Shireen Ahmed called the NFL a cesspool of misogyny, xenophobia, racism and capitalism. And…

As NFL teams are gathering for preseason camp, Associated Press sports writer Paul Newberry suggests the league's social justice warriors play a huge Trump card if free agents Colin Kaepernick (center in photo) and Eric Reid (right in photo) aren't signed soon. Both former San Francisco 49ers disrespected veterans and the national anthem by kneeling during the final year of their contracts,…

Restless race-baiter Jemele Hill may soon be on the move again. The controversial writer for The Undefeated, a social justice-themed ESPN blog, said in a recent speech that she plans to quit her gig sooner than later. She and a friend have already begun a video production company focusing on race and gender, according to Ozyfest.com writer Peter Buseck.

Will the NFL punish Jerry Jones?  You know the left-stream media hope so. The Dallas Cowboys' owner and friend of the Donald said his team will stand in respect during the playing of the pregame national anthem and nobody hides in the locker room. NFL teams are not allowed to discuss the ongoing efforts to resolve the national anthem issue, and NBC Sports' Mike Florio is itching to find out if…

One can make a strong case that the only reason Jaelene Hinkle was invited last week to the U.S. national women's soccer team training camp was to avoid accusations of blackballing a Christian player. But the invite appears to be a sham; she was cut just five days after the call-up, amid hateful LGBT rants against her. Eric Adelson, columnist for Yahoo! Sports, examined how this controversy…

Setting out to determine why NFL kneeling protests create so much outrage, The Washington Post's sports columnist Sally Jenkins concludes that it comes down to fan anger over a denial of American exceptionalism.  

In the past week Josh Hader, an all-star pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers, joined a dubious list. He, Buffalo Bills' rookie quarterback Josh Allen and Milwaukee Bucks' rookie Donte DiVincenzo, have all been exposed for racist social media posts they posted a few years ago when they were teen-agers. Kevin Blackistone, an African-America sports writer for The Washington Post and panelist for ESPN'…
