The Chicago Bulls rank first in the NBA’s Eastern Conference basketball standings and in putting on pride nights. Or last in the latter, depending on one's point of view. They’ll show you how basketball should be played and how to stage the allegedly best darn halftime drag show going.

The Brooklyn Nets’ guard Kyrie Irving needs to put aside his ignorance, get jabbed, keep everyone in New York City safe and serve as a good role model for people, says SBNation sportswriter Ricky O’Donnell.

Elon Musk got verbally slapped down by NBA player Enes Freedom Kanter for sucking up to China recently. Completely overlooking China’s innumerable human rights abuses, Musk opened up a Tesla showroom in China, drawing the ire of the Boston Celtics’ center Kanter, who has waged a season-long campaign against China.

Can we ever have a gender-normal Olympiad again? Last summer in Tokyo, it was all about the transgenders. Next month in Being, the United States will feature its first-ever non-binary winter athlete. Since this gender craze is all about the pronouns, we’re about to see someone who looks an awful lot like a “he,” but who goes by “they.” Oh, for the good old days of the thrill of the sport and the…

What happens when one high school girls’ basketball team comes to compete, and the other team doesn’t? If you are the head coach of the first team, and your squad wins in a wipeout, you are scapegoated and suspended for a game.

The NBA’s perpetual first head female coach in waiting awaits no more. Becky Hammon, a San Antonio Spurs assistant coach, has given it up and accepted a head coaching job with the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces. Widely assumed to have the right stuff to coach men, her privilege card has expired. She and the media immediately revved up glass ceiling excuses for getting pass over by NBA teams. “The NBA…

Almost all professional athletes are fully vaccinated. Almost all of the highest-paid athletes are fully vaccinated. Yet the nitpickers at Forbes magazine shamed the very few who have not indicated their status, including Aaron Rodgers, who isn’t even on the highest-paid list.

Long-time USA Swimming official Cynthia Millen resigned a week ago in protest over the so-called University of Pennsylvania transgender athlete making a mockery of women’s collegiate swimming. Millen told The Washington Times and Fox News that she will not support transgender nonsense on the grounds that fairness in women’s swimming is being destroyed by a man.
