The WNBA All-Stars showed their support for Brittney Griner on July 10th as they all sported the Phoenix Mercury center’s jersey number during the 2nd half of the game, despite her pleading guilty to a crime as she’s detained in Russia. The team of A’ja Wilson would defeat the team of Breanna Stewart for All-Star supremacy 132-112. At the end of the game, the players made it clear that their focus was on Griner. “BG’s one of us. She’s our sister,” said Wilson, who is a player of the Las Vegas Aces. “And at the end of the day, we’re…

Joey Chestnut seized the throne of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest once more, winning his now 15th victory which set the record as the most won ever at the yearly 4th of July competition – regardless of him having to choke out a protester during the event. Cramming down 63 hot dogs in just 10 minutes was nothing that happened last year when the 37-year-old managed to gobble down 76. Geoffrey Esper was the only one who got close but not quite eating 20 hot dogs less. WATCH JOE CHESTNUT ON VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8XLgbkUE64 Chestnut’s jubilant performance was briefly…
A handwritten letter from Brittney Griner was handed over to the White House on the morning of July 4th, according to the Griner family, which supplied excerpts to reporters. In the letter, the imprisoned WNBA star implored the president not to forget her and expressed that her already deep appreciation for Independence Day had acquired a new meaning this year. “I’m terrified I might be here forever,” wrote Griner, who has been detained in Russia since mid-February. “On the 4th of July, our family normally honors the service of those who fought for our freedom, including my father who is…
The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) issued a press release that shows Chick-fil-A leads restaurants with a top ACSI score for the eight year in a row. Part of the press release is listed below, with a link to the full press release under it. Customers continue to prefer full-service over fast food restaurants, and the gap is widening. According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI®) Restaurant Study 2021-2022, customer satisfaction with full-service restaurants is stable with a score of 80 (on a scale of 0 to 100), while the fast food industry drops 2.6% to 76. Restaurants had…
The Supreme Court handed a major victory to an ex-coach of a Washington high school football team, Joe Kennedy, who was fired for praying after a game. The Court ruled that the high school had violated the coach’s First Amendment rights. The question was whether a public school employee praying aloud in front of high-school students constituted unprotected “government speech,” and if not, did it nonetheless violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The Supreme Court found that the prayer did not violate any of these regulations, allowing the coach to continue praying if he wishes. “Here, a government…
A WNBA basketball pro athlete, who has been detained abroad since February, Brittney Griner tried to call her wife 11 times through the American embassy in Russia on their fourth anniversary, but nobody was there to patch her through. Cherelle Griner was set to speak to her wife from a Russian jail after four months of no communication, she said to the Associated Press. And things were set to change after getting approval from the Russian government to connect with her wife. But her wife’s lawyer came with some bad news for Cherelle Griner. The Phoenix Mercury center got a…
A senior at the University of Kentucky, named Riley Gaines, competed in the women’s 200 freestyle at the NCAA Division I Women’s Championships. At the end of the race, as he touched the wall, Gaines looked up and realized the board said that she had placed fifth, which put her in the top five collegiate female swimmers in the nation. But shortly after, she realized she’d tied with transgender athlete Lia Thomas, a biological man who identifies as a woman. WATCH RILEY BREAK HER SILENCE ON VIDEO: At that moment she was overcome by a flood of emotions, Gaines said.…
The world’s swimming governing body has voted to restrict transgender athletes like Penn swimmer Lia Thomas from competing in women’s events and will consider creating an “open competition” category in a membership vote on June 19th. WATCH the news report on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25xf4x8_IMI The members of FINA voted 71.5 percent in favor of a policy that requires transgender swimmers to have completed their transition by the age of 12 in order to compete, according to the Associated Press. A total of 152 national federations have voting rights. The vote is applicable to all events starting June 20th. A portion of…
The Republican candidate for the Georgia Senate, Herschel Walker, has admitted that he has two other children that he has not publicly mentioned before. This is the second time this week that Walker has acknowledged having a child with whom he is not in touch. The Daily Beast reported that the former National Football League player is actually the father of a 13-year-old son, born and raised by a woman in Texas. Walker also acknowledged that he has a daughter who was born when he was attending the University of Georgia from 1980 to 1982. The Daily Beast released a…
Following the massacre of schoolchildren and the bungled police response in Uvalde, Texas, Gabe Kapler, the San Francisco Giants manager, will no longer come out for the national anthem before the start of each game. However, it seems like the former Phillies manager’s, who was run out of town, antics backfired as his antics didn’t really pan out to much. In fact, Gabe Kapler already made it back out to the field for the National Anthem on Memorial Day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbtWhBYk9e0 Ahead of the Giants game against the Reds, Kapler told reporters in Cincinnati that he would not participate in the…
Colin Kaepernick does not appear to be a victim, according to Antonio Brown. Kaepernick hasn’t played in the NFL ever since the 2016 season and Antonio Brown is likewise unlikely to return. However, the former great receiver believes Kaep has not been mistreated. Despite not playing football, he believes he has been treated fairly. “He’s been well-treated.” He has a Netflix documentary going. Do not get it mixed up… They didn’t allow him to play sports, to be sure. He was given advertising. During an interview with @ThisIs50, Brown remarked, “They gave him cash.” “Where is he right now?” he…
When Joseph Kennedy was an assistant high school football coach in Bremerton, Washington, he began praying at the 50-yard line immediately after games. Soon, his players gathered around and along came the coaches and players from opposing teams. The school district asked him to find a more private place to pray to avoid the appearance of an official endorsement of his religious views. The Justices seem inclined to rule in favor of the coach. WATCH THE VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ettDBNRJIg NBC News further reported: “The Supreme Court on Monday seemed inclined to rule for a Washington state high school football coach who…
Before a game, a coach crosses his arms. Before the bell sounds, a teacher reads the Bible aloud. A coach who holds a Christian youth club after school in his house. While hearing arguments regarding a former public high school football coach from Washington state who intended to bow and pray in the stadium after games, Supreme Court justices addressed all of those hypothetical circumstances. The judges were discussing how to strike a balance between instructors’ and coaches’ religion and free speech rights and students’ right not to be coerced into religious activities, per report. The court’s conservative majority appeared…
Philly’s star-center Joel Embiid took an elbow to the face when the Philadelphia 76ers were blowing out the Toronto Raptors in a game 6 closeout for round 1 of the NBA playoffs – and it’s all Doc Rivers fault that it happened. Sure, that try-hard Pascal Siakam threw up an elbow and did it physically, but when the 76ers are destroying the Raptors with only a few minutes left to go – is there a reason that Joel Embiid is still on the floor? I know Doc Rivers gives up tons of big leads, but come on man – this…
Looks like young WR Jalen Reagor doesn’t like the Philadelphia Eagles trading for star WR AJ Brown from the Titans. Reagor, who couldn’t catch a cold if you threw it to him, wiped his Instagram and Twitter accounts of all info and no longer has a legit profile picture posted. It’s like he’s getting dumped and scrubbing his ex from social media – but it’s his own fault because he simply can’t catch at the NFL level and he’s had enough time to prove it – or not. He’s only 23-years-old, so there’s plenty of time to join that fan…
Here’s something you won’t see every day. A college football game that went into overtime thanks to a 60-yard field goal had something else happen that no one expected. Oregon State’s Everett Hayes nailed a record breaking 60-yard field goal to force overtime against Colorado and just as the ball sailed through the goalposts, it nailed a cheerleader on the head. She was definitely not expecting that and she wasn’t even facing the field. She was facing the crowd and doing her job as the ball literally came out of nowhere and just booped her on the back of the…
Penn State ended the day 6-4 as they lost 21-17 to Michigan, helping them get to 9-1 – but no one really cares about that because of what else happened in the game that might have made comedy and football history. Penn State went for a fake punt and got it. That was cool seeing a guy with number 98 throw a pass for a first down. No big deal, easy peezy. This one went fine, see: https://twitter.com/BigTenNetwork/status/1459571899495632903 But that wasn’t the only fake in the game. Penn State also went for a fake field goal on 4th and…
Skip Bayless wasn’t holding back when he slammed the Los Angeles Rams and Odell Beckham Jr deal. Bayless pointed out that the Rams have enough weapons at wide receiver with Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, and Van Jefferson, so what exactly do they need OBJ for? Well, perhaps it’s depth at the wide receiver position – but was it worth it to sign Odell considering he’s such a diva and he’s busted up over the last few years with injuries and surgeries? Wouldn’t it be better if someone like Van Jefferson stepped up and provided more explosiveness to the offense, because…
Tom Brady, the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, revealed details about the parenting style he and his partner Gisele Bündchen use to raise their children, Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, 9. Brady and his ex-partner Bridget Moynahan co-parent their 14-year-old son John “Jack.” The “hardest thing” about raising their children, according to Tom Brady, is his wealth, because he wants to raise them as humble kids who know what to expect in reality. “We have people that clean for us. We have people that make our food. We have people that drive us to the airport if we need that.…
Did you know that the slogan “Let’s Go Brandon” started with NASCAR? The controversial slogan was coined after events at a NASCAR race in Talladega last October. Brandon Brown won a race and was in the process of giving a post-race interview when an NBC Sports reporter claimed that supporters were screaming “Let’s Go Brandon.” The reporter was wrong – the crowd was chanting “F— Joe Biden.” Since then, the slogan used as a subtle critique of President Joe Biden went viral. Brandon Brown’s Xfinity Series team requested permission to run a sponsor promoting the term, but NASCAR rejected it,…
