The Left’s influence on sports has created an environment in which the words and actions of many people are twisted to make them seem racist. However, there was no need for any narrative-spinning on Saturday, when an MLB prospect went on Twitter rampage that objectively was racist.  Brett Netzer, a minor leaguer in the Boston Red Sox’s farm system who has not played since 2019, decided on a…

As the tension between the Ukraine and Russia rises, more and more Ukrainian athletes have chosen to take up arms to defend their homeland. Following the example set by the Klitschko brothers, Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov and two-time olympic gold medalist and ESPN's no. 8 pound-for-pound boxer Vasiliy Lomachenko both declared over this past weekend that they will join Ukraine’…

The Klitschko brothers - Vitali (nicknamed “Dr. Ironfist”) and Wladimir, who are both Hall of Fame boxers - have volunteered their services to stand against Russian forces that have invaded their homeland. Both men retired with…

Colin Kaepernick has come up with some pretty outlandish (albeit creative) ways to fight the perceived social justice war, but his most recent tactic is downright confusing. The former quarterback turned activist is launching an initiative through his “Know Your Rights Camp” that will offer free autopsies to any family of someone who dies in prison or police custody that wants a secondary…

Chicago Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman is a brash individual in all aspects of his life. He struts off the mound after a strikeout with epic levels of swagger, consistently brags on his talent, and frequently uses his Twitter to voice his strong opinions of…pretty much everything. Yesterday, Stroman tweeted out that his former team, the New York Mets, were an organization that consistently ignored…

Ken Mauer was an NBA referee for 36 years before the league foolishly decided to fire him for not getting the COVID vaccine. In an interview with Jason Whitlock, Mauer revealed that he has been absent from officiating NBA games this year because he did not get the vaccine because it violated his religious beliefs. Unfortunately, the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement required referees to get…

Look out, King James. Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who was acquitted of all charges in a self-defense case in November has plans to sue all major media outlets and people who defamed him during his trial while also creating a fundraiser designed to raise money for people who look to do so as well. One of the individuals Rittenhouse plans on suing is Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James,…

Syracuse University still has not gotten the memo that masks and COVID screening do not work to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Syracuse still requires that fans who enter the iconic Carrier Dome show a vaccine card or negative COVID test to enter, and while they are watching games, they must wear a mask (what would you expect from a left-leaning institution in New York?). Apparently, the…

Sports are a medium through which athletes learn lessons of character: how to work hard towards a common goal with others, how to communicate effectively with peers and those in authority over you, and how to master excelling in the little things to achieve something great. Perhaps the most important lesson is how to accept defeat graciously, something that Michigan Wolverines men’s basketball…
