Sports Media

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. Carolina's Eric Reid, who's linked with Colin Kaepernick in attacking the NFL through lawsuits on one side of the divide, had to be restrained by teammates from confronting Philadelphia's Malcolm Jenkins, who works with the NFL to…

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. Now Rihanna is reportedly passing up an opportunity to perform at halftime of the 2019 Super Bowl because she's upset that…

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…

If social justice warrior athletes follow the advice of David Steele, their activism in sports venues will be an "endless fight." A writer for The Sporting News who previously co-authored a biography on 1968 Olympic protester Tommie Smith, Steele posted a 7,000-word broadside on the people who oppose political activism in sports and on the athletes who refuse to go political in their platforms.…

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…

Media Research Center (MRC) Vice President of Business and Culture Dan Gainor issued the following statement in response to a new Media Research Center/McLaughlin & Associates poll, gauging public opinion about politics in sports and entertainment media.

Chris Dudley was a journeyman bench player in the NBA for 16 years who attracted little media attention. As a college friend of Brett Kavanaugh's at Yale, Dudley is now being contacted by numerous reporters and he's telling them all the same, consistent story. As reported by Yahoo and The Washington Post, Dudley says he never saw the Supreme Court nominee black out. Dudley vouches for Kavanaugh's…

The area extending out for several miles around Soldier Field, the home turf of the Chicago Bears, is a "death zone" where 408 people (mostly black and Hispanic) have been killed since January 1. Despite the violence, the Bears' organization and media are crowing about the team spending $500,000 on social justice issues that apparently won't address this 800-pound Bear in the living room. Neither…

NFL Hall of Famers are trying to score big off the field. They've written a letter demanding a king’s ransom in benefits from the league, including lifelong paychecks and health insurance. In a letter sent to Commissioner Roger Goodell, the league CEO and director of the players' union, they threatened to boycott the annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony if the NFL doesn't roll over and empty…

Stephen A. Smith, the well-known ESPN talk show veteran said Monday on his radio show that his listeners and his producers were lucky that he wasn't going political because ESPN is not a political network. Then he stealthily approached the subject of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh being accused of sexual harassment. It appears that Smith (see file photo) is seriously questioning the…

It was supposed to be an inspirational advertising tagline, not a self-fulfilling prophecy. “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything,” is the phrase Nike used to introduce unemployed QB Colin Kaepernick as the face of it’s 30th anniversary “Just Do It” campaign.

Last week's LeBron James' HBO TV program, The Shop, may have pleased the NBA superstar's progressive "choir," but it drew rock bottom ratings from Jason Whitlock on the Fox Sports 1 Speak for Yourself show. Whitlock criticized "King" James for being out of touch with the black community and called him the "black Trump."

Unbelievably, Nike just made Colin Kaepernick -- of all people! -- the face of its 30th anniversary "Just Do it" campaign. Was it the cops-are-pigs socks that sold Nike on the toxic former NFL quarterback? The pro-Castro t-shirt? The America is not free tweet from Ghana? So many "great marketing" choices for Nike! Bleacher Report's Tim Daniels did not speculate on the reasoning behind Nike's…

Colin Kaepernick's media apologists are crowing about his Thursday summary judgment phase victory after an arbitrator ruled his collusion case against the NFL can move forward. Media are calling it a big blow for the NFL, a big victory for Kaepernick, claiming the NFL may want to settle the case and speculating on Kaepernick's attorneys deposing President Donald Trump prior to the trial. The…
