Emmanuel Acho’s infatuation with dissing Sha’Carri Richardson/Black women is problematic and corny
Every now and then, sports produce a lightning rod. A polarizing athlete that encompasses all of society’s triggers – race, gender, and creed.

Romantic <i>Bachelorette </i>Football Game Ends In An Injury To An Actual NFL Player
Team, Monday night’s episode of The Bachelorette was a rough one.

Sorry Nice Guy, Your Sad-Sack Routine Doesn’t Mean You Deserve Hot Babes
Of course you don’t watch The Bachelorette. Of course. Not at all. But if you did, and if you happened to catch last night’s episode, you would have met singer/songwriter/that-name-haver James Taylor. (Actually you would have already met him and probably forgotten because of all that is Chad.)...
