The San Antonio Spurs politically charged coach Gregg Popovich played the "C" word again Wednesday, calling President Donald Trump, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick politically obsessed cowards for their handling of the coronavirus. Popovich has frequently referred to the president as a coward.

Okay, so the "stick to sports" argument has been defeated once and for all by Deadspin writer Donovan Dooley. He claims that former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville's Tuesday victory over Jeff Sessions in the Alabama Republican run-off election is all the proof we need to stop insisting media and athletes separate politics and sports.

The complete progressive take-over of professional sports has occurred before our eyes with startling speed during the current pandemic. Patrick Mahomes, quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs and Super Bowl MVP, is not only the face of the NFL now, but he's also diving headlong into superstardom as a leading social justice warrior in the league.

There's blood in the water after the media helped tomahawk the Redskins nickname earlier this week. That deed done, The Washington Post's Global Opinions Editor Karen Attiah has moved on to the next team in the line of fire: by portraying baseball's…

The guilt-mongers at politically correct media outlets can breathe easy now. Their years of feigned suffering over the name of the "Washington NFL team" they dare not speak is over. Today the Redskins announced they plan to drop what USA Today writer Tom Schad calls "a polarizing team name and logo." It's a case of the tyranny of the minority prevailing over huge majorities of people…

Sports writers who have completely sold out for social justice this weekend told two Republican U.S. senators to shut up and stick to sports. Nancy Armour, a social justice pitbull for the USA Today sports lite section, ridiculed Senators Kelly Loeffler of Georgia and Josh Hawley of Missouri for publicly opposing pro basketball's acquiescence to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement.…

ESPN's insane business model is to use television, radio, websites, social media and the ESPY Awards to insult its ever-shrinking consumer base. This bizarre strategy makes social justice friends, while lowering viewership to pathetic levels. Sports reporter Adrian Wojnarowski just joined ESPN's club of political firebrands by telling a Republican member of the U.S. Senate to “fuck off,” and…

Hang down your head,Sen. Kelly Loeffler. Confess your white privilege! Take the perp walk and admit you were dead wrong for criticizing Black Lives Matter. God knows you deserve to go to sports owners purgatory and join ex-Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling there.

More than ever, our current social climate is proving that stories are the most powerful form of communication. Stories allow people to feel the emotion, and gravity, of certain situations. Stories are so powerful that they can convince people to ignore facts and statistics when they don’t fit a particular narrative.

Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson is on the end of a different kind of reception today: heaps of flack for posting anti-semitic social media messages that could threaten his lucrative pro football career. Over the Fourth of July weekend, Jackson binged on Lewis Farrakhan messages and posted anti-semitic quotes supposedly made by Adolph Hitler, leading former Eagles owner Joe Banner…

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” According to Marcellus Wiley in a recent episode of Speak for Yourself, that is exactly what we may be looking at with the NBA and NBPA’s decision to paint Black Lives Matter on the courts in the “Disney Bubble.”

Feeling extreme corporate and political heat, the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians are talking about changing their nicknames, and elated sports media "piranhas" are smelling blood in the water. Despite overwhelming national support for Native American nicknames, left-stream media -- The Washington Post and USA Today in particular -- have been demanding this…

The National Football League is figuratively going through a frantic two-minute drill to placate the Black Lives Matter crowd, and a sports blogger from The Shadow League is whining that the league's lengthy list of social justice activities is too little and too late. Rhett Butler writes that the league's decision to play the black national anthem "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" is wise, but…

Actor and former pro football player Terry Crews, a follower of Christ, wouldn't play ball with the Black Lives Matter Twitter crowd and brought heaps of wrath upon himself Tuesday. The "blacklash" prompted his fan and former Mid-America Conference football rival, Outkick The Coverage's Jason Whitlock, to declare Twitter is the "IRS" for Christians, especially when they deviate from the…
