Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Nike is promoting Colin Kaepernick. The sports apparel giant is partnering with the failed NFL player to sell a clothing “capsule,” which barely holds any distinction from being a clothing “collection.” Why it made this decision is beyond me, but hey, this is Nike we’re talking about.

  Olympic gymnast Simone Biles attended the Green Bay Packers game on Sunday, not surprisingly her appearance at Lambeau Field didn’t get as much attention as Taylor Swift’s recent NFL fandom. But many people claim this is surefire evidence of racism. No, seriously. Numerous X users posted their frustration that Fox did not obsess over Biles being in the stands as much as the NFL has done…

Micah May, who serves as multi-area director for FCA South Central Arkansas, said that a social media…

Just three short days after Travis Dermott decided to go against the league’s ban on tape supporting special initiatives by wrapping his stick in LGBTQ "pride" colors, the NHL decided to lift its ban on the use of the product. The company “Pride Tape” - which…

Last night, the New York Knicks lost 108-104 to the Boston Celtics to open their season. But whoever was running Boston’s X account was the biggest loser of the evening. As the Celtics were wrapping up their win, reports emerged from Lewiston, ME that an active shooter was on the loose. As of today, Robert Card, the suspect of interest, allegedly had taken the lives of at least 18 people at a…

Antisemitism is alive and well in Los Angeles-area high schools.  Noli Indian School (NIS), a private school for grades 6-12 on the Soboba Indian Reservation near Los Angeles, reportedly made antisemitic gestures toward a rival Jewish high school football team from Milken Community School (MCS), a private Jewish school, during a game Friday. Unfortunately, MCS reportedly endured “antisemitic…

    It didn’t take long for National Hockey League (NHL) players to defy the league’s ban on "pride" tape. Arizona Coyotes defenseman Travis Dermott wrapped a small, yet noticeable, amount of rainbow-colored tape on his stick during his team’s matchup with the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday. I just noticed Travis Dermott is quietly using @PrideTape tonight! This is what allyship looks like folks…

Vegetarians, vegans, and PETA supporters beware...you’re about to get triggered. Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Erik Swanson spends his offseasons hunting and fishing, mostly in his home state of North Dakota. But, he often doesn’t go alone. Swanson takes his son Toby on many of his outdoor expeditions, and the MLB star does so to impart wisdom on his kid. "I am an avid hunter/fisherman and I will…

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa made it clear that he supports Israel and not Hamas, something the National Football League (NFL) was hesitant to do. After the Dolphins’ 42-21 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, Tagovailoa took time during his press conference to address the horrific events taking place in Israel’s borders. He took one question from reporters, and then spoke…
