How To Enjoy Exercising Even If You're A Fat, Sensitive Nerd
As an overweight woman who performs in public, I’ve resented the ways in which women like me are reduced to our bodies and our thoughts about our bodies.

We're A Month Out And WrestleMania Weekend Looks Fucking Insane
Every year, WrestleMania weekend gets bigger. Not on the WWE side, to be clear—the promotion’s biggest event is about as big as it always is. It’s everything else, all the many non-WWE wrestling events that are, at least for the most hardcore fans, now as big a draw as or bigger than pro wrestling’s...
Now This Is An Old-School Hockey Fight

That hockey has neither gotten more dangerous nor less inspired as fighting had decreased dra...

The Kings Are Terrible, But De'Aaron Fox Is Great At Hitting Buzzer-Beaters
The Sacramento Kings are 19-43, and there’s not much at stake over the last 20 games of the season, save for lottery ping pong balls.

Which Was Longer: James Harden's Staredown Or Tom Brady's Kiss With His Son?
Everyone had a hearty chuckle (or gasped in horror) as James Harden extracted Wesley Johnson’s soul with a crossover last night, but The Outline’s Jeremy Gordon had an offhand joke that made us think. He said Harden’s staredown of Johnson was longer than Tom Brady’s definitely normal lips-on-lips ki...

Alas, each ...
U.S. Fencer Daryl Homer Wants To See More Representation In Olympic Sports

The Heat Intentionally Fouled Ben Simmons With The Game Tied In The Final Minute, And Won Because Of It
Dwyane Wade, paying tribute to Parkland shooting victim Joaquin Oliver, hit the game-winning shot last night in the Miami Heat’s 102-101 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
