The Dallas Stars love America, but apparently not their neighbors
Texas’ complete handcuffing by winter’s rare invasion into the state is a scary situation, and thousands not having power or heat in sub-freezing temperatures is a real problem. You know that.

Dallas Stars pull the ultimate dog-whistle #PleaseLikeMySport, fragile white people
It didn’t take tarot cards and an 800-number to figure out where the Mavericks/anthem debate was going to go.

The Mavs hadn’t been allowing fans into the arena until Monday’s g...

Longtime Toronto Raptor Kyle Lowry is one expiring contract who could swing the NBA championship picture as much as anyone likely to be dealt by March 25’s deadline.
