If you’ve ever been to a Phoenix Suns game, you’ve probably seen the franchise’s famous mascot “GO the Gorilla” roaming the sidelines. While you would be rightfully confused as to why a gorilla is a mascot for a team whose nickname is “Suns,” you probably wouldn’t think it was chosen with racist motivations. That is, unless you’re Lamar Odom.  The former Los Angeles Lakers forward and 2-time…

The United States Men’s National Soccer Team (USMNT) opened up group play in the World Cup on Monday with a 1-1 draw with Wales (a match they should have won). The USMNT looked decent for the first 60ish minutes, but then ran out of gas as the game progressed and were eventually outsmarted and outworked. Bruce Arena, the most successful coach in U.S. men’s soccer history, did not hold back why…

Remember how the NHL used to be the league that didn’t wholeheartedly cave to progressive influence? Yeah, those days are over. This past weekend, the “Team Trans Draft Tournament” was held in Middleton, WI, and saw 80 gender-confused individuals participate in what was the first hockey event to feature transgendered athletes. The NHL gushed their support on Twitter, effectively making them no…

The Brown University baseball team just held walk-on tryouts for the 2023 season, but it wasn’t your standard tryout. The Bears announced that they allowed 18-year-old Olivia Pichardo onto the roster, making Pichardo the first female to make a varsity baseball roster in NCAA Division I history. “It was definitely a surreal moment for me because it’s something that I’ve wanted since eighth grade…

Anthem protests are apparently not a uniquely American thing. Iran lost its opening group stage match to England, 6-2, in the 2022 World Cup on Monday. But that wasn’t the only newsworthy element of the proceedings. Iranian players chose not to sing their nation’s national anthem before the match began in what was a clear sign of protest against the tyrannical Muslim regime that cruely enforces…

A handful of nations have reversed course on their intentions to wear a social-justice inspired armband during their group stage matches after FIFA threatened strict punishment for any players who participated. The captains of England, Wales, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Denmark all originally planned on wearing an armband that said “One Love,” a clear jab at Qatar’s national policy of…

It didn’t take long for Qatar’s ban on beer sales at all World Cup venues to quickly backfire on the host nation.  During the host nation’s opening match against Ecuador, fans of the visiting country could be heard chanting “queremos cerveza” after taking a 2-0 lead (which would end up being the final score). That phrase translates to “we want beer,” adding insult to the humiliating showing by…

Qatar has come under immense scrutiny for a plethora of reasons ahead of it hosting the 2022 World Cup. But perhaps the worst development of all unfolded this morning when the Muslim nation announced that beer will not be sold at any venues hosting a soccer match. The news comes as a shock as the nation originally agreed to a multi-million dollar deal with Budweiser, which tweeted out an equally…

Donald Trump really does live rent free in the minds of liberals. The 45th president announced on Tuesday that he will indeed be running for the White House in 2024, marking his third run for the nation’s top political office.  Predictably, Hollywood elites and actors alike were outraged to hear the news, and many took to Twitter to voice their displeasure. Trump used his record in office to…

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown has had perhaps the most accurate assessment of the hypocrisy surrounding how Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai has handled the suspension of Nets point guard Kyrie Irving. Irving was suspended for five games after tweeting a link to a documentary based on a problematic book, “Hebrews to Negroes” (which has since been removed from all 600 Barnes and Nobles locations…
