It's been two weeks...and the investigation has yet to come to a conclusion. The mainstream media has buried this story. No one is talking about it. The Olympics have seemingly forgotten that Raven Saunders violated Rule 50.

We explain why the Olympics giving Raven Saunders a pass is troubling...and how it could impact the Winter Olympics in 2022.

Woke Media Claims Major League Baseball Umpires Discriminate

We can officially declare the death of journalism. Chris Cwik at Yahoo Sports published an article...claiming umpires in Major League Baseball discriminate against minority players. He cites "research and a study" in the article he published.

The problem is...this "study" was actually a these written by a college student. We react to the article on Yahoo Sports...and dispute the claim there is a bias with umpires in Major League Baseball.

NBC and the Olympics are celebrating Team LGBTQ and their success at the Tokyo Olympics. Members of the LGBTQ were represented more in the Tokyo Olympics than any other time in history.

We react to NBC and OutSports promoting this story...and explain how the woke agenda is supposedly about inclusion...but they actively exclude themselves from the rest of society.

Sue Bird and the Seattle Storm were awarded $30,000 each for winning...but she doesn't feel this is fair compensation. We explain why WNBA are actually overpaid...and should be thankful the league exists.

Becky Hammon has been a high-profile name the last few years as a potential coaching hire in the NBA. She was once again passed over this offseason...but as an assistant under Gregg Popovich for eight years...she will likely be a head coach in the NBA eventually.

However...she doesn't want to be hired to "check a box". We react to comments Becky Hammon made to the Associated Press...and explain how it's refreshing to hear someone associated with the NBA decline to be used for the woke agenda.

Colorado Rockies Refuse to Apologize to Fan They Accused

The Colorado Rockies accused a grandfather...who was trying to get the attention of their mascot Dinger to take a picture with his grandchildren...of using a slur against Marlins player Lewis Brinson.

The Rockies accused the fan publicly. However...once video evidence was released showing the grandfather clearing saying Dinger...the Rockies released a statement without an apology. 72 hours later...the Rockies still haven't apologized.

We blast the Colorado Rockies for their refusal to apologize...and call out Lewis Brinson for trying to victimize himself to extend his 15 minutes of fame.

Skip Bayless Is a Fool...and Jenny Taft Proves It

Skip Bayless made his television career by making controversial statements. This tactic was once again on full display Wednesday on Undisputed. Skip Bayless claimed he didn't want Mike McCarthy as the coach of the Dallas Cowboys...because he was overweight.

Jenny Taft immediately pounced on Skip Bayless...and humiliated him on national television. We react to the brief exchange...and call out Bayless for disrespecting Jenny Taft while she was making her point.

We also compare Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith. Both made their careers by saying ignorant things in the name of controversy. However...one really is dumb...while the other is smart but portrays ignorance on TV for attention.

ESPN & Woke Media Prove Bias With Devin Funchess & Rockies Fan
