Colin Kaepernick (Scott Cunningham/Getty Images) Imagine being a major sports magazine doing a cover story on the players and team leaders who spoke up and spoke out on the issues of race and inequality, and the right to freedom of personal expression—just to leave out the player who is the reason these discussions are being had in the first place. Imagine being called out on it, even by some of…

Geschickter and his wife/team co-owner, Jodi, were at a crossroads several years ago, unsure of what their future held and thus, what they wanted to do with the race team. The business consultant took them up to a mountain and had them perform…

On his podcast this week, NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. further separated himself from other heavyweights in the sport who don’t feel like he does about the rights of NFL players to kneel during the national anthem. Earnhardt, voted by fans as the sport’s most popular driver for 14 years, tweeted this week that he supported the players’ right to protest during the national anthem despite President Donald Trump’s feelings…

From February to fall, every NASCAR driver preaches reaching the playoffs and giving themselves a chance to win the championship trophy come November. They run a gauntlet of 26 races, darting all over the country in the process – and then only 16 drivers make the cut. After this weekend’s race at Dover (Del.) International Speedway, that number drops to 12. For all the buildup to the playoffs, they can…

Hey, shitty teams. A humble request: How about you stop giving up the easiest goals imaginable, making enormous errors in some misguided effort to play “beautiful soccer” and build up play from the back, and instead just lump the ball forward when facing your betters? This scourge must be stopped. Just a couple hours ago Arsenal were gifted a gimme by BATE Borisov when their keeper passed the ball straight…

Theo Walcott has scored three goals in his past two games Theo Walcott scored twice as a much-changed Arsenal beat Bate Borisov in the Europa League to make it two wins from two in Group H. Jack Wilshere was excellent and set up a Walcott chance which hit the post before assisting the forward’s close-range opener. Bate keeper Denis Scherbitski then inexplicably passed the ball straight to Walcott to slot…

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is not happy that former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was not included on a Sports Illustrated cover about the protest movement taking place in the sports world. “It was terrible, just kind of capitalizing on the hoopla and the media and all that nonsense” said Curry, one of the 10 people whose images appear on the cover of the Oct. 2 issue….

How much have the past 96 hours damaged NASCAR’s efforts over the past 20-plus years to become a mainstream sport? Thanks to the uneducated and intolerant reactions of Hall of Famers Richard Petty and Richard Childress regarding protests against systemic racism during the national anthem — and the sanctioning body’s own ineptitude in disowning those sentiments — NASCAR has found itself confronting old stereotypes it hoped had long been extinguished….

8:39 AM ET Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment It is an extraordinarily sad time in college sports. Ten people were arrested Tuesday and charged with fraud and corruption after a two-year FBI investigation. A Hall of Fame coach was, as the attorney for Louisville’s Rick Pitino said, “essentially fired,” as was one of the most respected athletic directors in the country, Tom Jurich. A high-ranking Adidas employee…

Her contract is believed to officially conclude at the end of 2017. The formal release is expected to come soon. “That is not something we are going to answer tonight,” said Fox Sports president Eric Shanks on Tuesday, when…

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry says Colin Kaepernick’s omission from a Sports Illustrated cover featuring sports figures linking arms in protest solidarity is “terrible.” The cover references the protests surrounding the national anthem ahead of NFL games last weekend. Curry is shown in the photo illustration appearing to link arms with LeBron James and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. The anthem protests stem from Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the…

Concern about the kids’ sports frenzy often fixates on the costs to children who do too much: the burnout and physical exhaustion, the bodies battered from overuse, the loss of unscheduled free time. But the children who are excluded from that frenzy, most of them from lower-income families, suffer more enduring losses. These children miss out on the scads of positive outcomes that are linked to regular exercise, including longer…

Liverpool are objecting to a proposal by Sky Sports to switch their Premier League game at Arsenal to Christmas Eve, a plan that has been accused of showing “zero regard for supporters”.
