WNBA still showing a lack of appreciation for Caitlin Clark

Imagine you are running a sport league or are involved in it and for the entire time that it has been in operation it has lost a ton of money every single year. Yet, for some stupid ass reason there…

Talking UFC and the end of the NFL preseason

The preseason nonsense has already begun in the NFL

The preseason in NFL is a pretty funny time because the games don't count towards anyone's record and have no bearing whatsoever on who ends up being the eventual champion. Because of this, these 3 g…

Should leagues punish players for offenses that happen off the field?

Sporting memories of mine: getting regularly beaten by a girl in basketball
