The Reaction To HB2 Will Go Down As A Fluke Or College Sports' New Standard
If the national reaction to North Carolina’s HB2 is meant to serve as the new guiding principle and not a brief moment of political posturing, and if southern states continue to specialize in discriminatory laws disguised as acts encouraging religious freedom, the list of available postseason venues...

Under Armour’s been in the news a lot lately, first for a huge one-day drop in the value of the company and yesterday for CEO Kevin Plank’s remarks that Donald Trump’s presidency would be a “real asset” for the country.

Steve Kerr Rips Players For Not Taking Their All-Star Votes Seriously
For the first time in NBA All-Star Game history, players had a chance to vote on the game’s starters.

Fans will...

Steve Kerr Burned Sean Spicer
Before his team took on the Magic in Orlando yesterday afternoon, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was introduced to the home crowd as a “former Orlando Magic star.” That was a curious way to describe Kerr, seeing as how he only ever played 47 games in Orlando, where he averaged 2.6 points per game. ...

That Time Bill Goldberg Tossed A Caddy Into A Water Hazard For Messing With Him
Bill Goldberg is not someone you want to put in a position to own you.

Just What The Hell Was Going On At The Warriors' Arena Groundbreaking Ceremony?<em></em>
The Golden State Warriors held a groundbreaking ceremony for their new San Francisco arena today, and befitting an ownership group that believes it’s “light-years ahead” of the rest of the NBA, it was an ostentatious display. After the mayor made an awkward racial joke and a bunch of people in suit...

Draymond Green: Actually, Yes, Cavs-Warriors Is A Rivalry
This is a silly thing to discuss, granted, but it is a long season and we need something to sustain us after the Warriors and Cavaliers met for the final time—until June, we hope and pray, at which time everything that’s been said by everyone on either time will be dredged up and injected into the m...

The Warriors Turned The Cavaliers To Ash
With three-and-a-half minutes remaining in the second quarter, LeBron James had his Cavaliers 14 points behind the Warriors.
