Note: Get off Torii Hunter’s Back

Note to the press: Get the fuck off Torii Hunter’s back. All of you, mainstream or otherwise know exactly what Hunter meant when he called dark-skinned Latin MLB players “imposters.” Guess what, punks. They’re imposters – no, IMPOSTERS. Wanna know why?

Of the Sports Godhead Network and Tiger Woods (of ESPN and public and not-so public lynchings)

The Tiger Woods Press Conference – and, Of the Sports Godhead Network and Tiger Woods (of ESPN and public and not-so public lynchings)

Ever wonder what his young mind was really thinking about being thrust into the public's eye at age, before anyone will even listen to him?

Jemele Hill, Tim Tebow, and Church: Apocalypse Anyone?

James Dobson, speaking during a "Yes on 8" prayer event held in San Diego in 2008. The ballot initiative banned same-sex marriage in California.

Guns, Race, and Guns: Gilbert, Volunteers, and the Cost of Life in America

A Philadelphia fan holds up a sign for Gilbert Arenas. People in the United States – at least the U.S. – do not want to hear this. White people, Black people, people.

Stephen A. Smith, Mike Greenberg, and the Daily Skip Bayless (they all fit together)

An appearance on MSNBC’s The ED Show, a commentary on CNN.com ———- and now an appearance alongside Michael Meyers, a long-marginalized and forgotten, dusty, shaggy-ass lawn jockey, and founder of the New York Civil Rights Coalition (an oxymoron if there ever was one) on Fox News with Sean Hannity.

Serena Never Had A Chance at This Year’s U.S. Open

Serena Williams explaining that she never told the lines woman she would kill her. At 5-7, 4-5 and 15-30 in the 10th game Serena Williams was clearly frustrated with the position she was in.

Happy 30th ESPN: The WWL Lionizes Black Athletes (just not in the way the headline suggests)

Well people, after 30 years of ESPN we all should see it pretty plainly now.
