Hope Solo Is Not A Problem
So this is what equality looks like. Finally, sports writers care enough about women’s sports to bother digging into a female athlete’s personal life and find out she’s a mess: married to a man once accused of hitting her, brawling with her own family members, and getting belligerent with cops when ...

Eat Shit, Cardinals
By now, you know that the St. Louis Cardinals—the sports equivalent of the Duggar clan—are currently under investigation by the FBI for hacking into a Houston Astros database. (The FBI!

This Dutch Goal And Ecstatic Celebration Are Why We Watch The World Cup
The Netherlands were one of our favorites of the longshots coming into this tournament, their first ever World Cup, for a number of reasons.

Jack Grealish, the 19-year-old future-stud winger for Aston Villa, had a season to be proud of.

This Long Range Blast Will Be Côte d'Ivoire's One Good World Cup Memory
This Côte d’Ivoire team got hammered by Germany, gave up three goals to Thailand, only avoided a repeat beatdown at the hands Norway today on account of some sorry finishing, and will soon return home from their first World Cup thanks to their fourth-place group finish.

Wheat Beers Can Be Awesome
For a variety of reasons both valid and otherwise, wheat beers don’t always get a ton of respect or even attention from the Craft Beer Movement’s™ leading blowhards, cheerleaders, and listiclers.

Teen Goalkeeper Fails To Play To The Damn Whistle, Blows Penalty Save
Christ, kid. Didn’t they teach you nothin’? You have to keep the ball out of the net, not just stop the penalty taker from kicking it in himself. Who cares if this is a Scottish U-14 match, if you don’t ridicule him for his errors, he’ll never learn....
