Football is America’s sport because it’s the game that so closely mirrors how our society works. The players are the workforce/employees. The coaches are middle management. And the owners are the politicians and lawmakers. And when you think of it that way, it’s evident where the lack of diversity w...
We we tried to tell you about Power Slap
I’m truly shocked to hear that the mega-smash hit Power Slap: Road to the Title on TBS got canceled after just eight episodes, according to MMA Fighting.

Don’t get it twisted, there’s racism in Formula 1, too
Formula 1’s winningest, most visible driver, Lewis Hamilton, got called the N-word by FF1 champion Nelson Piquet in an interview during the 2021 season.

Here’s Amy Schneider’s first pitch on Pride Day, since Fox Sports wouldn’t show it
Before San Francisco became synonymous with exorbitant real estate prices and tech bros, it was known as a beacon of acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community.
