NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas blasted the NFL for playing the so-called “black national anthem” because it is “emphasizing our separateness,” not promoting national unity and healing. Thomas made his comments in a discussion with columnist Jason Whitlock on an episode of The Blaze’s Fearless with Jason Whitlock. “When you sing the national anthem, and then you sing the black national anthem, the only thing that it does is it’s emphasizing our separateness,” Thomas insisted. Last year, the NFL began playing Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing, called the black national anthem by activists, immediately after playing the Star-Spangled Banner. This […]

Former Cincinnati Reds TV announcer Thom Brennaman claims that the fans he runs into want him to get his job back despite his anti-gay slur controversy from last year.

Fox Nation is bringing back the popular TV reality series Cops after it was canceled last year as Hollywood embraced the anti-police movement. Streaming network Fox Nation has announced that it has picked the show up for a 33rd season starting on October 1, Variety reported. “Cops is one of the most iconic brands on television with an incredibly passionate fan base,” Jason Klarman, president of Fox Nation, said in a statement.

ESPN’s Allison Williams is being blasted on Twitter for her announcement that she is stepping away from broadcasting for a while because she is trying to get pregnant and does not want to take the company’s mandated coronavirus vaccine at this time. The longtime ESPN college football and basketball reporter posted a thoughtful and reasonable post to Twitter explaining why she won’t be on the sidelines interviewing players and coaches this season. “My heart hurts posting this but I’m at peace with my decision,” she Twitter on Thursday. “While my work is incredibly important to me, the most important role I […]
The board of Time’s Up says all of its members will be replaced after the organization’s then-CEO was caught advising disgraced Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) as women accused him of sexual harassment. Former CEO Tina Tchen (pictured, second from right) fled the board last month after taking flack for her staunch support of Cuomo. Tchen was not running the women’s advocacy group while speaking out for Cuomo, but when the organization found out that the former Michelle Obama aide was actually advising Cuomo on how to weather his sexual harassment storm, that was the final straw. Nearly the entire board is resigning, […]
Actress Kristen Stewart is raising eyebrows for her portrayal of the much-beloved Princess Diana in Spencer, as a swearing, masturbating, manic mess who was “desperate for connection” and felt isolated and lonely as a British royal. The Los Angeles-born Stewart portrays Lady Di in Chilean director Pablo Larraín’s Spencer, which debuted at the Venice Film Festival on Friday. Diana’s life is doled out as a tragic fairy tale fable in reverse. Or as a reviewer for the Independent says, the film portrays Diana “as a martyr in Sloane Ranger clothing, a modern-day equivalent to the doomed Anne Boleyn.” Watch below: In one scene, […]
Only weeks after being cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars, ESPN announced that Tim Tebow would join the network’s First Take to go head-to-head with left-wing, woke host Stephen A. Smith. With his power growing, Smith convinced ESPN to remove his former co-host, Max Kellerman, from the daily sports show. And now the network will work in Tebow as a foil for Smith each Friday. On other days of the week, the network will drop in guest co-hosts such as Michael Irvin, Mina Kimes, and Kendrick Perkins to go up against Smith’s ultra-woke opinions. (Justin Casterline/Getty Images) Molly Qerim will continue as […]
The bleachers turned into a battleground Sunday when a brawl broke out during the Chicago Cubs and White Sox game at Guaranteed Rate Park. Chicagoans are always ready to toss insults at each other as North and Southsiders hit the field for the famed crosstown classic, but it doesn’t always turn to fisticuffs. Still, on Sunday, the rivalry boiled over in the bleachers for the final game of this season’s interleague matchup. Though there is plenty of video, it isn’t completely clear why the shoving began, but a least one video shows a fan bounding up the bleachers and smacking into […]
After New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio implemented a vaccine mandate for all Big Apple venues, comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan decided to refund fans who don’t want to have to get vaccinated to attend his New York show. “If someone has an ideological or physiological reason for not getting vaccinated, I don’t want to force them to get vaccinated to see a fucking stupid comedy show,” Rogan said during a recent podcast. “And now they say that everybody has to be vaccinated, and I want everybody to know that you can get your money back.” (AP Photo/Gregory Payan) Rogan […]
On a recent conference call, ABC News President Kim Goodwin announced that she had called for an independent investigation into allegations of sexual assault by former Good Morning America executive producer Michael Corn. Goodwin’s (pictured) announcement came a day after a lawsuit was filed naming Corn, ABC News, and ABC owner Disney, in a case alleging that Corn sexually harassed an ABC staffer still employed by the company and a ex-staffer in separate incidents. Corn, who is no longer an ABC employee, has denied the charges, the Wall Street Journal reported. “We can’t have us investigating us. We need an independent […]
Rachel Nichols, the ESPN reporter, caught in leaked audio blasting the network for giving her on-air gig to a black reporter, is out at the sports cable network, according to a report. John Ourand at Sports Business Journal reports that Nichols and ESPN have parted ways via a “mutual decision” to end their relationship. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – JANUARY 09: ESPN television host/moderator Rachel Nichols speaks during a press event at CES 2019 at the Aria Resort & Casino on January 9, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Retired UFC fighter Brendan Schaub became a real-life hero on August 12 when he rushed to the scene of a car accident and began pulling injured children out of a wrecked vehicle driven by a man who was allegedly using the auto to try and kill his entire family. Schaub and his wife were driving down the freeway in Encino, California, last week when they soon came upon the scene of an accident. As they neared the scene, the former fighter saw a young child waving down people for help. Noticing a smashed vehicle containing several children, Schaub leaped out of […]
A trailer for the new season of the FX series American Crime Story is telegraphing a smear job against former President Bill Clinton’s enemies in his 1998 impeachment scandal — particularly Linda Tripp, the woman who gathered the evidence of Clinton’s dalliance with intern Monica Lewinsky. The trailer follows Lewinsky (Beanie Feldstein) as she becomes involved with the sex predator president (Clive Owen). But it also focuses on the times Lewinsky confided in Linda Tripp (Sarah Paulson). And Tripp is portrayed as dark, scheming, and manipulative in the trailer. “Monica can never find out,” she says in a phone conversation — presumably […]
Tennis great Martina Navratilova revealed a serious lack of class Saturday with a tweet celebrating the death of a radio host who was a coronavirus vaccine skeptic but later died of the virus. On Saturday, the winner of 18 Grand Slams jumped to her Twitter account to gleefully say “womp womp” about the death of Nashville radio host Phil Valentine who was an early skeptic of the coronavirus vaccine. He later contracted the virus, publicly reversed his stance on the vaccine, and said he wished he had taken the medication. Sadly, Mr. Valentine ultimately died from the virus. Though, Navratilova was […]
Sean Penn — long known for his support of Russian, Cuban, and Venezuelan dictators — is doubling down on demanding vaccine mandates for all film crews as well as movie theaters. Speaking to CNN’s Michael Smerconish about his latest film Flag Day this Saturday, the Academy Award-winning actor insisted that he only wants to perform in front of vaccinated audiences. “I am so grateful that audiences — and yes, we’ll come around to that, I would request only vaccinated audiences — have an opportunity to see this theatrically,” Penn said. “It’s rare these days to have something that is exclusively theatrical. Eventually it […]
The Biden administration has appointed former Obama chief of staff and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel as U.S. ambassador to Japan. After progressives shot down several trial balloons, the Biden White House has finally found a plum to hand the Chicago Democrat as Biden prepares to send Rahm Emanuel to The Land of the Rising Sun, CNN reported. Biden floated the idea of sending Emanuel to Japan in May after initial plans to add the Chicagoan to his administration were shot down by unhappy left-wingers. But an ambassadorship was not Biden’s first idea to reward Emanuel. Biden initially wanted to appoint Emanuel […]
Several fans erupted in violence with a bloody brawl in the stands after finally being allowed to return to L.A.’s SoFi Stadium to see the Rams take on the Chargers for the NFL preseason. From video of the incident, it appears that a large Rams fan was having words with some purple-clad Chargers fans when fists started flying. The altercation started with harsh words, finger-pointing, and hand slapping. But the fists began flying after a thus far unidentified woman threw a cup of beer, apparently sparking the Rams fan to throw the first punch. The Rams fan ended up with his […]
Volatile actor Shia LaBeouf has been cast to play an early 1900s Catholic saint, only half a year after he reportedly took a break from acting in response to allegations of abusing women. On Thursday, Director Abel Ferrara told Variety that he had cast LaBeouf to star as Italian Saint Padre Pio, a Catholic leader who attained sainthood for his life’s work in the years after the end of World War I. The director, famed for helming controversial films including Bad Lieutenant, hopes to begin filming his Saint project in October, but he does not seem to have commented on LaBeouf’s […]
The CW Network — owned by both ViacomCBS and At&t’s WarnerMedia — is launching an initiative to combat what the Democratic party and corporate media call “voter suppression,” despite polls that show Americans are more concerned about voter fraud. Calling the campaign “Freedom To Vote,” the ads for the effort will reportedly feature all the CW series stars urging viewers to help “promote eligible voter protection and remove barriers to voting,” according to Variety. The campaign will work in partnership with the Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights Under The Law and Vote.org. Grant Gustin, star of The Flash, Stargirl‘s Brec Bassinger, […]
On Monday, Caitlyn Jenner posted a tweet trotting out Bruce Jenner’s appearance at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal as the 2021 Tokyo Games begin to wind down. In the tweet, Jenner wrote, “An amazing day representing our country at the Olympics! Congratulations to all of the Olympians this year!” An amazing day representing our country at the Olympics! Congratulations to all of the olympians this year! https://t.co/OJKLA1R6uU — Caitlyn Jenner (@Caitlyn_Jenner) August 9, 2021 The tweet struck some as odd since many transgender advocates consider bringing up a trans person’s past name as “dead naming” them. It is an act of […]
Carli Lloyd was one of the few bright spots for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team in Tokyo for leading the team in goals and patriotism when she remained standing when her teammates all took a knee. This brought an avalanche of hate from leftists. On Thursday, Lloyd became the first U.S. woman soccer player to reach ten goals at the International Games. And it was mostly due to her performance in Tokyo that the USWNT medaled at all when they beat Australia to take home the bronze on Thursday. Carli Lloyd just scored her tenth goal in the Olympics. More […]
Former Illinois Democrat Governor and convicted felon Rod Blagojevich claimed that a lawsuit he filed Monday would vacate his corruption conviction and open the door to run for office again. Blagojevich was removed from office in 2009 after being prosecuted on corruption charges for attempting to sell the U.S. Senate seat that was then being vacated by Barack Obama who resigned after winning the presidency. The ex-governor was convicted of corruption and served eight years of a 14-year sentence. He was released nearly 18 months ago when President Donald Trump commuted his sentence. But his conviction has barred him from running […]
After a number of woke Olympics warriors went down to ignominious defeat this week, many Americans jumped to social media to celebrate their demise, Team USA or no. After spending years protesting against the U.S.A., the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team took an early loss against Sweden on July 21, right after the Tokyo Games opened, and then were out of gold medal contention entirely due to Sunday’s loss to Canada. Far from finding a Team USA loss devastating, many reacted gleefully when the team led by loud and proud anti-American protester Megan Rapinoe went down to defeat in Japan. “Little […]
International Olympic Committee (IOC) Medical and Science Director Dr. Richard Budgett recently claimed that the science is settled and “everyone agrees that trans women are women” as he praised New Zealand trans weightlifter Laurel Hubbard. Budgett spoke about Hubbard at a press conference on Friday and hailed Hubbard for exhibiting “courage and tenacity.” Hubbard is the first athlete born as a man to be allowed to compete at the Games as a woman. “To put it in a nutshell, the IOC had a scientific consensus back in 2015,” Budgett explained as he excused the IOC’s decision. “There are no IOC rules […]
Some members of Congress, both Republican and Democrat, are finally beginning to pressure the NBA players to cut ties with Chinese companies known to employ slave labor to make shoes, shirts, jerseys, and other sports-related products. Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), for one, recently told Politico, “Americans can’t and shouldn’t conduct business with companies and players that profit through human slavery. And that includes NBA players — they can’t sign endorsement deals and benefit off slave labor.” But Republicans are not alone in wondering how the NBA and the players who have struck deals with Chinese companies can blatantly allow their endorsed […]
Always ready to jump to name-calling instead of intelligent debate, spittle-specked former ESPN man Keith Olbermann went on the attack against Buffalo Bills player Cole Beasley over the player’s explanation for his stance on the coronavirus vaccination. This week, Beasley gave a long and detailed explanation about why he opposes the NFL’s coronavirus vaccine policies. In his statement, Beasley said he is neither anti- nor pro-vax but is instead “pro-choice.” The player added that he thinks that the league is forcing vaccinations on players by only giving them one side of the story on vaccinations. He added that health officials and […]
Former President Barack Obama has announced that he is joining the National Basketball Association to promote “social responsibility” in Africa. Obama will assist the NBA to bring woke gender politics to African nations to push “greater gender equality and economic inclusion,” the league announced in a Tuesday press release. The partnership will go deeper than mere cooperation, though. The NBA has also agreed to hand the Obama Foundation a minority equity stake in NBA Africa, the league’s division on the continent. Obama praised the effort saying that NBA Africa will help spread the left’s ideas across the globe. (Patrick Smith/Getty Images) […]
The Olympics omitted Taiwan’s national flag icon on its tweet celebrating the medal winners in Judo on its official 2020 Tokyo Olympics Twitter account Saturday. Taiwan’s Yang Yung-Wei won Silver in the men’s 60kg Judo, aced out only by Japan’s Takato Naoshia, who finally brought home the Gold after several years of disappointing finishes. It was the first time Taiwan ever medaled in Judo. The tweet also noted that Yeldos Semetov of Kazakhstan and France’s Luka Mkheidze both earned a bronze beating Tornike Tsjakadoea of the Netherlands and the Republic of Korea’s Kim Won-Jin, respectively. However, one thing missing from the […]
A West Virginia judge ruled that a school must allow a biological boy to try out for a girls’ cross-country team despite the state’s recent law limiting schools to allowing only students born as females into girls’ sports. On Wednesday, Bill Clinton-appointed Judge Joseph Goodwin of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia issued a take-down of the state’s Save Women’s Sports Bill and ordered the state to allow 11-year-old transgender student Becky Pepper-Jackson to try out for a girl’s middle school cross-country team. Alex Pantling/Getty Images Goodwin claimed that the law is not valid while it […]
Quarterback Deshaun Watson has returned to the Texans’ training camp despite his public disinterest in staying with the team and the allegations of sexual assault hanging over his head. Watson faced a fine of $50,000 for every day he misses training, and Sunday, he returned to avoid the fines. However, according to NFL.com, he still wants to be traded. Still, Watson’s desires may be meaningless if his mounting legal problems grow. Watson is facing allegations that he sexually harassed 22 women. Though his lawyer, Rusty Hardin, has accused the women of lying to enact a “money grab” to get hold of […]
Lakers star LeBron James appears to be cashing in as the NBA’s first active billion-dollar player as his deals in China, Hollywood, as well as his lucrative investments and sponsorships in Nike and other brands grow. Since he was first drafted into the NBA in 2003, James has already raked in more than $330 million just in playing salary. But he has also reaped more than $700 million in off-court deals, according to Yahoo Entertainment. And with his deals, companies, and investments, that $700 million number can only grow. Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images James, 36, is one of the NBA’s highest-paid players […]
The media company started by Lakers star LeBron James is blasting the ban on political protests on the medal stand during the Olympics. James’ media company, The Uninterrupted, is accusing the International Olympics Committee (IOC) of “silencing athletes” with its Rule 50, Fox News reported. “Rule 50 is a rule in the Olympic Charter that bans any kind of demonstration and prohibits any opinionated political, religious or racial propaganda at the Olympic site in 2021,” a Twitter message from the group says. “The only time an athlete is able to speak freely is at press conferences and to the media, but […]
On Tuesday, Super Bowl winning quarterback Tom Brady stabbed Donald Trump in the back and mocked MAGA voters during a visit to Joe Biden’s White House. This is quite an about face from Brady’s years of pretending to be Trump’s friend. During his visit to Biden’s White House to celebrate the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 2021 Super Bowl win, Brady engaged in some back and forth with Biden to mock those who believe that Biden’s election was rife with fraud. The 2021 Superbowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers paid a visit to the White House earlier today. Tom Brady: “I think 40% of […]
UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal took a swing at former NFL player and anthem protester Colin Kaepernick for parading around in a Fidel Castro t-shirt while claiming to protest oppression. In a July 12 tweet, the Cuban-American UFC fighter slammed Kaepernick for his hypocrisy even as protests rise against the communist regime in Cuba. “My father escaped Cuba when he was 14 years old,” Masvidal said in the video attached to his tweet. “And I’ve only heard the horror stories since I could process thoughts of how shitty this communist regime, killing machine is. So, I just want to shed some light […]
Big Machine Label Group has taken criticism for releasing singer Aaron Lewis’ recent number-one country song bashing liberals, but the company’s CEO, Scott Borchetta, says he is standing by his artist. Left-wing music blogger Bob Lefsetz recently wrote that Lewis’ song is “heinous” and slammed Big Machine for releasing the hit “Am I the Only One.” But Borchetta wrote an open letter defending his label’s actions in reply to the criticism launched by liberals such as Lefsetz. Responding to Lefsetz, Borchetta opened his letter saying, “Firstly, I believe in the First Amendment. My job has never been to tell my artists […]
British pro golfer Tyrrell Hatton went on a tirade at the British Open on Friday, smashing his club and flipping the bird at fans at Royal St. George’s. Hatton became upset during the second round to the point where he snapped one of his clubs in half after muffing a shot on the approach to the 18th green, the New York Post reported. The 29-year-old Brit was 2-over par headed into the hole and needed a birdie to make the cut, which was 1-over at the time. Clearly, making the cut was weighing heavily on the player’s mind because he has […]
Former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was charged with five misdemeanor charges Friday over an alleged domestic violence incident from Tuesday. He now says he is “deeply remorseful” and will get the help he needs. On Tuesday, Sherman reportedly crashed his car into a construction site, and then tried to batter down the door of the home his in-laws own in Redmond, Washington. Prosecutors arrested him on Wednesday and charged him on Friday over the incidents.

MLB’s 2021 All-Star Game turned out to be the second lowest rated of all time after playing on the heels of the league’s controversial decision to move the game from Atlanta due to Georgia’s election integrity law. Indeed, in terms of low-ratings, the 2021 All-Star Game was only outdone by the 2019 ASG — but only by a scant one percent — allowing 2019 to retain its shameful crown as the least-watch All-Star Game ever. To show how far the All-Star Game has fallen, in 1980 the broadcast earned 36 million viewers. By 2015, only 11 million cared to tune in. […]
A graphic video of the moment Atlanta rapper Indian Red Boy was shot to death sitting in his car in L.A. is going viral this week. The rapper, whose real name is Zerail Dijon Rivera, was sitting in a car outside his store, Marathon Clothing, in South Central L.A. at about four in the afternoon.

Fully vaccinated pro-golfer Bubba Watson took to Twitter on Sunday to say he will sit out the Open Championship because he was exposed to someone who tested positive for the coronavirus. Watson explained to fans that even though he has been vaccinated, not enough time has passed since he came in contact with an infected person to be able to safely travel. In a follow up tweet, Watson told skeptical Twitter commenters that travel rules are different for the UK and he is not allowed to travel due to his circumstances. “I don’t make the rules but do have to follow […]
Actor and activist Sean Penn declared the Trump administration’s coronavirus policies were no better than “gunning down” vulnerable communities “from a turret at the White House” at the Cannes Film Festival. Speaking at the French film festival about his new film, Flag Day, Penn told the media of his efforts to continue observing coronavirus protocols as he filmed the movie. He also spoke about his efforts to sponsor vaccination and testing facilities in underserved communities.

A recent study finds that NBA commentators, the vast majority of whom are white, are far more likely to praise light-skinned players and criticize dark-skinned players. The research reported by the Hill pointed out that while three-fourths of players in the NBA are black, it is almost exactly the opposite racial breakdown among NBA reporters. According to the article, “Nearly three-fourths of players in the NBA are Black, according to Statista’s most recent data, while white players make up 16.9 percent of the league and Hispanic players make up 2.2 percent, leaving 6.6 percent of players from other races.” However, the sports […]

Disgraced actor-comedian Bill Cosby is accusing the media of being “insurrectionists.” It’s the latest headline-grabbing rant from Cosby, a week after his released from prison after his sexual assault conviction was overturned. The comments were in response to the backlash his Cosby Show co-star, Phylicia Rashad, faced after she revealed her relief that a “terrible wrong is being righted,” with Cosby’s release. Rashad’s pubic jubilation set off a firestorm. Students and alumni at Howard University called for Rashad — who is the university’s dean of College of Fine Arts — to be fired for her support of Cosby. Under pressure, Rashad […]
On Monday, ESPN commentator Rachel Nichols addressed the controversy over her remarks about the network’s diversity policies reported over the weekend. Appearing on NBA Countdown, Nichols offered an unreserved apology for her comments reported on Sunday by the New York Times. Nichols began her apology saying that she violated the tenet of reporters not becoming the story. “The first thing they teach you in journalism school is don’t be the story. I don’t plan to break that rule today,” she said. Nichols quickly got to the meat of her apology. “But I also don’t want to let this moment pass without […]

A video chat recorded unknowingly recorded by white ESPN reporter Rachel Nichols has caused hard feelings among many of the network’s staffers. The recording makes many feel that their white colleagues don’t really support the network’s drive for diversity if it ends up unseating whites from on-air roles. In the recording, Nichols is heard unloading on ESPN in a conversation with Adam Mendelsohn, an adviser to L.A. Lakers star LeBron James and James’s agent, Rich Paul. In the July 2020 conversation, Nichols was furious about being passed over for an important NBA assignment and felt that ESPN had given the hosting […]
Just ahead of Independence Day, Marvel Comics featured a new Captain America issue in which the Captain slams the American dream as a false promise. The first issue of the new series, “The United States of Captain America,” by writer Christopher Cantwell, was published on June 30, only four days before the country traditionally celebrates its day of independence from Great Britain. As the issue begins, Steve Rogers — the original Cap — grouses about how America is built on “lies.” “I’m loyal to nothing. Except the dream,” Rogers says early in the issue. “Here’s the thing about a dream, though. […]

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar released a statement thanking God for their blessings and the fans for their loyalty, according to People. “It is hard to believe that more than 17 years have passed since we were first contacted by a production company wanting to do a one-hour documentary about the logistics of raising 14 children,” the couple said in their statement. “Our family has grown (and grown up!) before our […]
U.S. Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry is taking heat today for tweets in which she criticized white, Asian, and Hispanic people only a week after her controversial decision to turn her back on the national anthem at the U.S. Olympic trials in Oregon. Berry’s old tweets, some going back ten years, are being blasted as racist and insensitive. For instance, in one post she criticized how Asian women dress, in another she threatened to “stomp” a white kid, in yet another she joked about rape, all tweets that critics say go quite against her carefully cultivated “woke” persona. In the days […]
USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo said Wednesday that it is unlikely that LeBron James will ever play for Team USA at the Olympics again. Colangelo made his comments based on James’ advancing years. “Father Time takes its toll,” Colangelo told ESPN’s Keyshawn, JWill and Zubin. “If you’re a human being, your body is built to go so long depending on what your sport is, and then it’s a downhill situation. LeBron made choices these last couple of Olympics not to participate because he’s got a lot of things going on in his life.” But putting off recent Olympics appearances casts […]
Actor James Franco — who publicly supported the celebrity-backed Time’s Up anti-sexual harassment group — and his associates have agreed to pay a $2,235,000 payout to settle a sexual misconduct lawsuit filed against him last year. In the lawsuit filed in October of 2020, Franco was alleged to have cajoled film students to commit to increasingly explicit sex scenes on camera. The students, who studied under Franco at Studio 4 Film School in New York and Los Angeles, also said they were the victims of fraud. In their filing, former students Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal claimed that Franco made them […]
Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry repeated the claim that the American national anthem is racist and “disrespects” black people as she defended her act of turning her back as the anthem was played at last week’s Olympic trials. Appearing on the Black News Channel, Berry insisted that she is wholly justified in her hate for the national anthem because it contains racist lyrics. Berry told the black network, “If you know your history, you know the full song of the National Anthem. The third paragraph speaks to slaves in America, our blood being slain and piltered [sic] all over the floor. […]
The NFL is looking for media properties to buy-in and “invest” in the NFL Network so that the league isn’t stuck footing whole the bill itself, according to reports.

Leonardo DiCaprio may be a made man in Hollywood but in Belize, local residents and fishermen have protested and blocked construction of his planned luxury, eco-friendly resort for almost 16 years. DiCaprio bought one of the islands in the area in 2005 and immediately announced plans to construct an innovative, high-end, eco-friendly resort. But locals have been uninterested in allowing the Hollywood star to build his dream vacation spot, the Daily Mail reported. The eco-resort was supposed to have opened in 2018, but a constant stream of organized protests by the locals have prevented him from making any progress on the project. […]

A USA Today columnist blasted the NFL Friday for making a big show of observing Juneteenth but not using the holiday to reflect on its “most racist practice” of race-norming. In his Friday op ed, columnist Mike Freeman gave faint praise to the National Football League for being an early adopter of the Juneteenth celebration. Juneteenth was first celebrated in Texas on June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in that state, ensuring the freedom of all enslaved people under the terms of the Emancipation Proclamation. Agreeing that the NFL’s move to recognize Juneteenth was “significant,” Freeman still faulted the league for […]
Barstool Sports chief Dave Portnoy has assured TNT commentator Charles Barkley that he can call the women of San Antonio, Texas, fat all he wants if he comes to work for Barstool. On Monday, Barkley appeared on a D.C. radio program and told fans that his bosses at Turner Sports had cracked down on his jokes about the “big ole women” of San Antonio and told him to stop with his joking around. “If you crack a joke the wrong way,” Barkley said of the issue, “they’re like, ‘Oh, no, no, no, you crossed the line.’ I mean, they won’t even […]
Horse racing trainer Bob Baffert is suing the New York Racing Association (NYRA) for suspending him, saying they did so without any due process or proof of wrongdoing. The NYRA suspended Baffert, insisting that since his horse, Medina Spirit, is under suspicion of doping in the Kentucky Derby, he is a risk to the integrity of the state’s racing community. “In order to maintain a successful thoroughbred racing industry in New York, NYRA must protect the integrity of the sport for our fans, the betting public, and racing participants,” NYRA President and CEO Dave O’Rourke said in a statement on May […]
Things turned ugly in the stands at Ball Arena as fans engaged in a vicious fistfight during Game 3 of the NBA semifinals on Friday night. It appears that the fight erupted over some sharp team rivalry comments when a Suns fan taunted two Nuggets fans by yelling out “Suns in 4!” as the Nuggets fans were preparing to leave the stands, according to Fox 31. One of the Nuggets fans turned back and dumped his remaining beer on the Suns fan, one eyewitness claimed. In short order, fists began to fly. However, according to the video, the Suns fan wearing […]
TV ratings for the second round of the NBA playoffs are not doing well for the league. After the first-round numbers crashed up to 17 percent over 2018 and 2019, the semifinals appear to be doing no better. Several days ago, Sports Business Journal writer John Ourand reported that the first-round ratings were dismal when measured against 2018 and 2019. According to Ourand, the ratings for the opening games of the 2021 NBA playoffs were pretty much the same as the 2019 season. However, viewership was down 17 percent from the 2018 season. But with LeBron James and the L.A. Lakers […]
Last year, the New York Times ran a front-page story on a young cheerleader who said the n-word in a viral video. Yet, today, the paper is entirely silent about the egregious and voluminous use of the same word by Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. In December of last year, the so-called “paper of record” wrote an article praising the actions of a left-wing activist who published a video of a teenage, bi-racial cheerleader using the n-word when she was a 15-year-old girl. The video went viral, and the activist suggested that the young woman was a prime target for the cancel culture. The […]
The Chicago Police Department (CPD) has announced an investigation into a viral video of teen girls twerking and dancing on top of a squad car, even as 55 Chicagoans were shot just last weekend alone. A video of several teen girls dancing on top of a CPD cruiser went viral over the weekend and caused enough embarrassment that the department promised to look into the incident. Looks like the Chicago Police Department’s emphasis on “positive community interactions” is taking off! Great to see! pic.twitter.com/xuHMWsuYci — CWBChicago (@CWBChicago) June 5, 2021 “The Chicago Police Department is aware of a video that surfaced […]
Musician Kid Rock raised eyebrows over the weekend with a profane rant at people using cell phones to record him at a bar in Tennessee. According to a report at TMZ, Rock was on stage at the FishLipz Bar & Grill Saturday in Smithville, Tennessee — an hour east of Nashville — and was unhappy when audience members broke out their phones to record him. Rock began giving the crowd the finger and at one point yelled, “Fuck your iPhone, yeah!” He proceeded to call the crowd “fucking faggots with your iPhones out” and pointed to his crotch, taunting, “You can […]
A new social media study finds that LeBron James is the most hated player in the NBA by a fairly significant margin. According to the social media use survey by Sports Insider using trends software with direct access to geotagged Twitter data, the study tracked negative mentions of NBA players on Twitter. The study tracked negative tweets such as “I hate LeBron” or “LeBron sucks” and similar negative comments for many players. The data was then grouped by region and measured against which players received the most negative tweets across a map of states. James won it, going away with 24 […]
The United States Men’s National Soccer Team (USMNT) game against Mexico was briefly shut down Sunday in Denver over waves of chants comprised of a gay slur and objects thrown on the field. The scene rose to ugly proportions after fans heard the gay slur yelled in Spanish early in the game. By the time wide-spread chants rang out, referees had temporarily shut the game down to warned fans to stop the taunting. “Due to discriminatory chanting, the referee has stopped the match for up to three minutes,” a Concacaf tweet read. “This action is part of Concacaf’s antidiscrimination protocol,” the […]
ESPN has fired sports betting analyst Kelly Stewart before her first day over nine-year-old tweets that she had already acknowledged several years ago when working for Turner Sports. Back in 2012, Kelly responded badly to taunts thrown her way on Twitter, replying with “homophobic slurs” to her attackers (she reportedly called one attacker a “fag”). She had already suffered a suspension over the tweets from a former employer. Still, ESPN apparently didn’t bother to take note of the situation before hiring her, and last month, ESPN hired her as its new sports betting analyst. That happy announcement soon turned to despair, […]

An op-ed from actor Tom Hanks published by the New York Time Friday urges Americans to “learn the truth about the Tulsa Race Massacre.” The June 4 op-ed landed days after the 100th anniversary of one of the most disgraceful incidents in American history, where between May 31 and June 1, in 1921, the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, erupted in a deadly race riot. Estimates of the number of deaths from the conflagration seem hard to pin down. Some estimates claim that riot resulted in the deaths of at least 26 black people and 10 whites. However, other estimates posit that […]
Former Celtics center Kevin Garnett took a shot at Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving Sunday for stomping on the Celtics center court logo of Lucky the Leprechaun following the Nets’ 141-126 win over the Celtics.

A U.S. Congressional Committee on China issued a letter Tuesday urging NBA players to end their endorsements of sportswear companies that use materials manufactured in Chinese slave labor camps. In a letter to the NBA, the chairs of the bipartisan Congressional-Executive Commission on China pointed out that more than a dozen pro basketball players have inked deals with companies such as China-based ANTA, Li-Ning, and Peak, to sponsor shoes, jerseys, and other types of sportswear. Many of these products are manufactured using cotton from China’s Xinjiang Province, an area notorious for massive camps where inmates serve as forced laborers to make […]
Hollywood has pushed a concerted, industry-wide effort for years to place LGBTQ-related entertainment into programs aimed at young audiences, often times in cooperation with gay rights group GLAAD. GLAAD has spent years lobbying Hollywood studios to increase the representation of LGBTQ characters in various programing. The major TV networks, including Nickelodeon, PBS, Cartoon Network, and others, have joined that effort. Now nearly every TV series, animated or live-action, has added gay characters. Here are thirteen TV shows and characters aimed at young audiences pushing the LGBTQ agenda. The Netflix cartoon, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, added a gender non-binary character […]

On Friday, Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson revealed that he has had it with unruly fans and threatened to follow those who spit at players “right to their houses” to confront them. Thompson’s comment came after a fan was banned from New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Wednesday for spitting at Atlanta Hawks player Trae Young. On Friday, the Athletic’s Jared Weiss posted a snippet of Thompson’s comments demanding that unruly fans face a “criminal fine.” “There probably also should be a criminal fine because if you spit on someone on the street, don’t you get fined and arrested or […]
“TV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines donate to campaign against critical race theory in schools” is an example of the misleading (and nearly identical) headlines corporate media pumped out this week about TV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines. Chip Gaines reportedly donated $1,000 to his sister Shannon Braun’s Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (GCISD) School Board campaign. Braun has opposed Critical Race Theory being part of school curriculum. But she hasn’t made her opposition to it a major part of her campaign. Many corporate media headlines generally ignored the fact that the purported campaign donation went to Braun and instead focused on her past statements in […]
The heads of many leftists exploded Saturday after a Connecticut girl wrote an op-ed published in USA Today in which she talked of how unfair it was that she and other natural-born girls were beaten out for track and field scholarships by boys claiming to be transgender girls. A young woman named Chelsea Mitchell began losing race after race starting back when she was in high school in 2017. Even though she was rated the fastest female runner in the state in the 55-yard-dash, she lost nearly a dozen titles because, in 2017, the state of Connecticut ruled that biological boys […]
TNT analyst Charles Barkley says that the NBA lacks the testicular fortitude to suspend LeBron James despite the fact that James broke the league’s coronavirus restrictions by attending a promotional event on May 19. “The NBA ain’t got the balls to suspend Lebron James. Zero.” former NBA star Charles Barkley said in an interview with LaJethro Jenkins. Barkley added that he knew there would be no punishment from the second he heard of James’ violation. James attended a promotional event for the Lobos 1707 tequila company along with several celebrities, including actor Michael B. Jordan and rapper Drake. However, his attendance […]

Former NBA player Kwame Brown took aim Wednesday at former ESPN talker Jemele Hill for a tweet in which he felt she was calling him “violent.” In reply, he slammed her for mindlessly using her “little liberal, democratic talking points” to tear down black men. For those unaware, Brown has been engaging in social media reprisals after Matt Barnes, and Stephen Jackson ridiculed him on their podcast, All of the Smoke. Brown and the hosts have traded numerous insults and accusations on Twitter and Instagram over the last week or so since the podcast dropped. It was into this conflagration Hill […]

The NCAA made loud proclamations in April that it could pull events from states with limits on transgender athletes. Still, now the college sports governing body has caved and will allow tournaments in states including Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas despite their laws restricting trans athletes. The NCAA sided with transgender athletes only last month, saying they may cancel events in states that aren’t “free of discrimination” against transgender athletes. The NCAA Board of Governors made its announcement as more than two dozen states proposed, debated, and advanced legislation aimed at requiring state schools to ensure that athletes compete only in the category […]
Music producer Jamal “Mally Mall” Rashid — who has worked with high-profile artists such as Justin Bieber and Usher — was hit with a 33-month prison sentence last week after being convicted of running a high-end prostitution ring in Las Vegas. Federal prosecutors said that Rashid prostituted the women he termed “priority girls” between 2002 and 2014, charging $1,000 to as much as $10,000 per date, the Associated Press reported. It was also determined that Rashid only gave the women around $100, no matter how much he charged the clients. “After a woman became a Priority Girl, she quickly learned that […]

All our people are still in bondage […]

Beasley posted a snide tweet on Thursday in reply to Fauci’s proclamation. The comment came in reply to a tweet by CNN reading, “Dr. Anthony Fauci says that people vaccinated against Covid-19 do not need to wear masks outside. ‘We’ve got to make that transition,’ he says.” To that message, Beasley noted that he already goes without a mask in public. “I do that without being vaccinated.

Comedian Sarah Silverman blasted California gubernatorial candidate and former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner for agreeing with restrictions on transgender athletes. The comedian attacked Jenner as a “twat” for recent comments concerning transgender athletes. Jenner said that it isn’t fair for men who have transitioned as women to compete against biological women. Silverman even went so far as to suggest that Jenner, who has accepted the label of being transgender, is “transphobic.” “I saw Caitlyn Jenner saying trans girls should not play girls’ sports,” said Silverman on her podcast, “Caitlyn, you’re a woman, right? A trans girl is a girl; she should have […]
The FBI has looked into claims that 1960s era labor leader Jimmy Hoffa was murdered and then buried under a hole at a Georgia golf course popular among members of the mob. Reginald Haupt, Jr., a former criminal defense lawyer known as “Bubba,” claims that his research leads him to believe that Hoffa is buried at the Savannah Inn and Golf Country Club on Wilmington Island in Georgia, Fox News reported. The fact that the resort is “out of the way,” Haupt said, made the resort the perfect place to hide the crime. “It made this the perfect place,” Haupt told […]

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is defending his deals with the communist Chinese government, insisting that the league is somehow helping to bring “change” to the oppressive nation.

Silver was undaunted, saying, “We continue to televise our games in China. Our most significant television partner is Tencent, which is a streaming service in China. And we have hundreds of millions of fans in China who we continue to serve.” The NBA chief went […]
Breakfast Club radio host DJ Envy is facing down a backlash after comments he made in support of the police officer who shot and killed Ma’Khia Bryant last week. Last Friday, the hosts struck up a conversation about the April 20 incident in Columbus, Ohio, where a police officer shot Ma’Khia Bryant who was lungeing with a knife toward another girl. And as far as DJ Envy is concerned, the police officer was in a no-win situation, had seconds to act, and his actions were justifiable. “Every case is different,” DJ Envy said. “And in this case, if I pull up to […]
The State of Ohio is set to become the 49th state to allow transgender people to change their gender on their official birth certificates. The Ohio Department of Health has decided not to appeal a federal court ruling from December that ruled the state’s ban on gender changes in birth records is unconstitutional. In December, Judge Michael Watson, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled that the Buckeye State must allow for “corrections” on birth certificates after a lawsuit was filed by three women and one man seeking to change their birth records. Judge Watson cited a 2015 survey by the National […]
The left is on the attack against UFC commentator and popular podcaster Joe Rogan for noting that young, healthy people don’t need to get the coronavirus vaccine. On his Spotify podcast on Tuesday, Rogan said that the coronavirus vaccines are safe enough as far as he is concerned. But, on the other hand, not everyone needs to take it, especially young people.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski set a world record by catching a football that was dropped from a helicopter hovering 600 feet above him. On Saturday, Gronkowski put his name in the Guinness Book of World Records for catching the 600-foot-long pass. It apparently wasn’t an easy task, either.
