Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren shut down football in the Big Ten this fall, but his son is playing this fall at Mississippi State in the SEC: outkick.com/big-ten-commis…
How can Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren say it isn’t safe to play college football in the Big Ten this fall, yet let his own son play this fall in the SEC? outkick.com/big-ten-commis…
We asked @bigten for comment on how their commissioner can shut down all college athletics for the fall while his own son will be playing. Not surprisingly, they haven’t responded. Hypocrites gonna hypocrite, y’all. outkick.com/big-ten-commis…
Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren’s hypocrisy on this issue is particularly glaring when parents at Iowa & Ohio State are demanding their own sons be able to play football this fall. Warren’s son is playing, but he’s keeping theirs from playing. Yikes: outkick.com/big-ten-commis…

It’s the five year anniversary of the most disastrous public policy failure of my life — covid. We should never forgive or forget what left wingers did to us. What’s the most ridiculous covid rule you personally experienced? Share below. We can’t let them hide their stupidity.
Sports related: the Titans zip tied 75% of an outdoor stadium seats to socially distance fans & had employees walk around to monitor if you covered your face between bites or drinks. Bars had to close early because we all know covid respected curfews.
Being forced to wear a mask into a restaurant and then allowed to remove your mask once you sat down still infuriates me.

The most remarkable thing about people like Joy Reid, Don Lemon and Jim Acosta is they have been paid millions of dollars for years to talk on TV and yet they have developed no actual fan base. The minute they leave TV, their careers are over. Do you know how hard this to do?
You are gifted an incredible opportunity to enter people’s homes and talk to them directly for YEARS EVERY NIGHT. Yet the moment you aren’t on TV, your audience vanishes. That means none of your “audience” actually likes you. It’s all just platform/network based.
This is fascinating to me because the Internet arena is the exact opposite — your audience is directly connected to you because the audience has an infinite array of choices and picked you. It’s far more competitive & authentic online so the connection is much deeper.

Alabama is begging its fans for money to pay players. Tide’s in trouble because they don’t have that many super rich boosters compared to other top SEC programs. This is why Saban retired. He saw this coming. But the current system is also untenable for college athletics.
First, college teams are asking fans to buy tickets, gear, concessions, donate to the university AND PAY THE PLAYERS TOO! It’s bonkers. Imagine if you bought tickets to watch a pro team play and they passed around a hat for you to pay pro players with your money left over. It’s outrageous.
I can’t get over how funny this is. Every pro sports fan would revolt if this happened. College fans will at some point too. They’re all being milked dry. Especially since most college sports fans being asked to donate make LESS than the 18 year old players do.

Caitlin Clark has broken ESPN. They have no idea how to address black lesbian women hating her because she’s white and straight because it shatters identity politics so you get word salads like this:
Caitlin Clark is Tiger Woods. She’s bringing an entirely new fan base to a sport. That should be something to celebrate for everyone. Instead it has broken sports media because she’s a white, straight girl from Iowa.
It remains to be seen how good Clark will actually be. But it’s illuminating to see how much identity politics has taken over sports. Tiger was overwhelmingly welcomed in the late 1990’s and every golfer got richer because of him. Caitlin has been overwhelmingly hated.

Reminder: the FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop was 100% real in 2020 — they’d had it since 2019! — yet gave all social media companies briefings claiming it wasn’t real when @nypost story dropped in October of 2020. The FBI 100% rigged the 2020 election for Joe Biden.
So who at the FBI ordered the rigging? They knew the laptop was 100% real. Yet they told the social media companies it might be foreign disinformation. The FBI intentionally lied! And we still don’t know who did and no one has been held accountable at all.
This, to me, is the biggest untold story of the Trump era. Someone inside our own FBI intentionally rigged the election for Joe Biden in 2020, got away with it, and have suffered zero consequences for it at all.

Two juvenile black kids got handguns & opened fire at the Kansas City Chiefs parade, hitting over 20 people & killing one. They likely committed 20+ felonies & should be charged as adults. Their parents/guardians should be charged like in Michigan with school shooting as well.
Their names have still not been released and given their race almost everyone in sports media who used this story as an opportunity to call for gun control will stop covering the story now. If a white Trump supporter had opened fire, it would still be the number one story in US.
You can’t solve the issue of gun violence without addressing the fact that gun violence is overwhelmingly committed by young black men. And young black men are almost always the victims too. The media refuses to acknowledge the issue of race because it makes them uncomfortable.
