Jameis Winston Proves No Racial Bias in the NFL

For years...we've heard from people like Jemele Hill and Stephen A Smith that there is bias in the NFL when it comes to quarterbacks. Jemele Hill and Stephen A Smith like to claim the NFL is against promoting black quarterbacks specifically.

Sean Payton disproved this notion in New Orleans when he handed the Saints quarterback role to Jameis Winston. We explain how the Saints position was made for Taysom Hill to succeed Drew Brees...and how Sean Payton giving the role to Jameis Winston proves there is no bias in the NFL.

Stephen A Smith Turning ESPN Into BET

Stephen A Smith is clearly running ESPN. He was able to influence executives to remove Max Kellerman from First Take. Now...he is reportedly putting together a dream team of hosts for First Take...and analysts for ESPN NBA coverage.

There seems to be something missing from the dream team of Stephen A Smith. We reveal the missing component...and explain how this is another example of hypocrisy from Stephen A Smith.

We explain that it's not a problem if Stephen A Smith wants to turn ESPN into BET. The problem comes with the hypocrisy.

MLS All-Star Game Suspended Over Fans Chanting

Major League Soccer held their All-Star Game this week. The MLS All-Star competed against Liga MX in the exhibition held in Los Angeles. During the game...fans in the stadium began chanting something FIFA officials determined to be offensive...and the game was suspended for 10 minutes.

We share the word soccer fans were chanting...and react to FIFA and MLS officials suspending the game. We explain how this chant has been happening for two decades...and it was never an issue until the woke agenda became involved in sports.

We explain how this is a virtue signal from MLS and FIFA...and how neither organization really care about this chant. 

Roger Goodell Blasted By NFL Agents For Being Fake Woke

Roger Goodell made the decision to allow the NFL to align itself with the woke agenda. Recently...The Athletic conducted a survey with NFL agents...and found that the vast majority believe Roger Goodell is sending nothing more than a virtue signal.

NFL agents believe Roger Goodell is being fake woke. We react to this survey...and share the most interesting responses from NFL agents. We also predict that social justice will slowly destroy NFL ratings...and Roger Goodell will be pressured to reverse course.

Sha'Carri Richardson Ruins Career Attacking Allyson Felix

Sha'Carri Richardson has become the poster child for what happens...when you hand someone fame and fortune...and they didn't have to work for it. The woke media turned Sha'Carri Richardson into a victim after she was suspended from the Olympics.

Since that time...Sha'Carri Richardson has dismantled her career. She essentially ruined it this week by attacking Allyson Felix. Allyson Felix was complemental of Sha'Carri Richardson on Jimmy Kimmel Live...and Sha'Carri Richardson attacked her anyway.

We react to the situation...and explain why this could be the end of the career of Sha'Carri Richardson.

Rachel Nichols FIRED By ESPN Over Maria Taylor

Rachel Nichols is learning the same lesson Max Kellerman learned. There is no need in towing the line of the woke agenda at ESPN. Because once you're no longer needed...executives at ESPN will discard you.

Rachel Nichols has been relieved of her duties at ESPN. The network released a press release saying both parties mutually parted ways...but everyone knows ESPN fired Rachel Nichols over the Maria Taylor scandal.

We react to this news...and explain how ESPN is no longer the diversity network. We also outline how ESPN is dying a slow, painful death...and if another sports network emerged presenting opposite content...ESPN would be finished.

Woke Megan Rapinoe & Sue Bird Have Integrity?? Joe Biden Says YES

President Joe Biden welcomed Sue Bird and the Seattle Storm to the White House earlier this week...to celebrate them as champions of the WNBA. During his speech...Joe Biden praised Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird for having integrity and character...and being brave enough to change America.

We react to the comments by Joe Biden...and explain why Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird are lacking in the integrity department. We criticize them for their stance on equal pay for women in sports...amongst their other social justice causes.

We also explain why Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird aren't paid equally to men. Instead of them earning equal pay...Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird turned themselves into victims...and want to be GIVEN equal pay...while not drawing the audience.

Cole Beasley Labeled Selfish By Media While Risking His NFL Career

Cole Beasley has been the leader amongst NFL players who are upset with the league's new COVID protocols. Roger Goodell is making life miserable for Cole Beasley and other NFL players who remain unvaccinated.

Cole Beasley was removed from practicing with the Buffalo Bills this week...because he was in close contact with a trainer who tested positive for COVID. Even though Cole Beasley tested negative...because he was unvaccinated...he was forced to sit-out for five days.

We explain how the NFL protocols aren't about player safety...and is more about player control and virtue signaling. We outline the negative impacts the NFL protocols could have on the regular season...and how Roger Goodell is pitting vaccinated players against unvaccinated players.

Max Kellerman First Take Ouster Proves No Loyalty In Woke Agenda

One week after the rumors of Max Kellerman departure from First Take...ESPN decided it was time to separate him from Stephen A Smith. News was released earlier that ESPN will be "reassigning" Max Kellerman to ESPN Radio.

We react to the decision...and explain how this proves there is no loyalty in the woke agenda. We provide examples of Max Kellerman being supremely woke over the years. We also mention the odd timing of this decision by ESPN...and how the future of First Take could be in jeopardy.
