Major League Baseball needs more African-American players, less Juneteenth grandstanding

Corporate America is trying to ruin Juneteenth — like the “Swag Surf” and countless things before it. It’s the reason why Gayle King had to joke about how “the only white guy at the table is off today,” on Monday’s episode of CBS Mornings. And why Major League Baseball — a sport that consistently er...

It was hard not to get a little giddy about the USMNT

Being a USMNT fan usually involves seeing things that aren’t there, or at least things that could be there but aren’t yet.

El Tri comes through in all its embarrassing, pathetic glory on an interesting night for the USMNT

US-Mexico games that count for something, even the CONCACAF Nations League, usually are more than just a result.
