Lawsuit: University of Tennessee Had “Deliberate Indifference” Toward Sexual Assaults By Athletes

Lawsuit: Kent State Helped Cover Up Rape By Softball Coach's Son
A former Kent State softball player is suing the university and its former softball coach, Karen Linder, accusing Linder of pressuring the player to cover up her rape allegation against the coach’s son.

Baylor Has Mastered The Art Of Doing Nothing About Campus Rape
There is a growing mountain of evidence suggesting that Baylor University does not give a fuck about investigating rapes, especially but not limited to those committed by football players. First, it was Sam Ukwuachu and the university’s lackadaisical at best Title IX investigation into allegations t...
How Crying Jordan Became A Thing
It might be the only good meme: Crying Jordan, a photo of a weepy Michael Jordan, seemingly custom-made for the internet to superimpose his face onto the head of anyone who just fucked up. It’s beautifully simple, it’s viscerally funny, and by this point a large amount of the humor comes from expect...

We'll Miss David Blatt's Blattfaces
Yesterday, Cleveland fired David Blatt, the grumpiest-looking head coach in the league, and moved on to Tyronn Lue. Tough break my man....
Even Roger Federer Went Nuts Over This 27-Stroke Rally Between Maria Sharapova & Lauren Davis
American Lauren Davis has forced a third set against fifth seed Maria Sharapova at the Australian Open after winning a second-set tiebreak. That came despite her unforced error at the end of this remarkable 27-stroke rally—one that got Roger Federer, awaiting his turn against Grigor Dimitrov, out of...
This Danny McBride-Lookin' Motherfucker's Rap Song About The Panthers Is Actually Good
Yeah, we spend a lot of time here making fun of people who decide to create dopey music videos, and I realize that the one rule everyone on earth should follow is “Don’t make that rap video.” And yet, I am here for this dude’s rap song about the Panthers, which was posted way back in December but wa...
The World Needed Another Latvian Rap Song About Kristaps Porzingis
One music video about Latvian-born New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis wasn’t enough. There’s a second one titled “Keep Calm Like Kristaps Porzingis,” which features Lamborghinis in the snow, dabs, and heavy influences from Future....
The Catch, The "Divine" Photo, And The Photographer Who Was Rooting For The Cowboys
Dwight Clark’s “The Catch” is one of the most famous plays in NFL history, and made for one of the most iconic photos ever taken by longtime Sports Illustrated photographer Walter Iooss Jr., one of the industry’s biggest names. Yet for all the immortality conferred in the back of Candlestick Park’s ...
DeMar DeRozan Dunked All Over The Sixers Last Night
The Raptors went down Pennsylvania way to take on a summer league team that’s somehow still playing into January. It was the fourth game of a mini road trip, but they took care of the anonymous group of Benjamin Franklin fans. Toronto is, for my money, the best of the morass of teams fighting for th...
Maryland Breaks Wisconsin's Heart With Game-Winning Three
Wisconsin fought back at home against Maryland from a late eight-point deficit, only to lose at the last second. Down 60-52 with less than 1:30 left, Wisconsin hit a layup and a pair of threes to tie it at 60. But right after Bronson Koenig’s three, Melo Trimble calmly pulled up from well behind the...
How To Win At A Casino
With all due respect to the good people of Thackerville, Okla., I am not currently aware of any defensible reason to rumble down their I-35 off-ramp other than to wander, aimlessly and awestruck, around the world’s largest casino. That is, unless you really like tornadoes or porno stores, the two th...
This Toronto Raptors Executive Had An Extremely Tight Wedding
I’m fully aware of the fact that rich people’s ridiculous weddings get written up in places like Vogue precisely because non-rich people will read sentences like, “Everyone gently retrieved their seat assignments from sphagnum moss falling from the boughs of a weeping cherry tree” and go, “Whaaaaaaa...
"What In The World Just Happened There!?" Maryland & Northwestern Combine For Wild Sequence
Northwestern is sporting its best men’s basketball team in years—maybe ever, given that the Wildcats have never, ever made the NCAA tournament—and Maryland’s fourth-ranked Terrapins are in Evanston tonight looking to darken those bright Chicago skies (heh, heh)....
Bismack Biyombo's Terrible Post Move Was Just Too Much For JaVale McGee
Raptors center Bismack Biyombo, as we’ve previously noted, is not the most gifted offensive player. His, uh, skills were on full display last night against the Mavericks:...
DeMar DeRozan's 40-Foot Game-Winner Wiped Out By Timeout
A Cory Joseph steal with just a couple of seconds remaining gave DeMar DeRozan the opportunity to nail a nearly half-court shot for a 93-90 win over the Hornets. But as you can hear from the whistle that blows shortly before DeRozan released, the Raptors called a timeout, negating his shot. Coming o...

U.S. Soccer Doesn't Care Enough About The Women's National Team
The United States Women’s National Team is scheduled to play a friendly in the Alamodome on Thursday. Right now, the game is slated to be played on a new turf surface that is about a year old. The last time the USWNT played at the Alamodome, Australian forward Kyah Simon tore her ACL. She lasted 27 ...
