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”. The Anfield club are aware of the proposal to move their trip to the Emirates Stadium from Saturday 23 December to Sunday 24 December with a 4pm kick-off. Liverpool have registered strong opposition to the Premier League and…

With dominant teams jockeying for the No. 1 ranking, stars dazzling and acrobatic plays being made on a regular basis, women’s college volleyball has been thoroughly entertaining this season. If you haven’t been watching, you’re missing out. We’re in the thick of the conference schedule. As we get set to enter the home stretch, we polled coaches around the country to find answers for big-picture questions….

After his near-deadly motorcycle accident, current ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Williams worked as a recruiter for Ceruzzi Sports and Entertainment from 2007 to 2009. He’s seen the corrupt culture of college basketball firsthand, and has admittedly taken part in it. After the FBI’s bombshell announcement and indictments of four assistant basketball coaches, Williams predicted a grim future for college basketball. He said he knew from experience. Williams dropped on…

Tiger Woods seems to have come to grips with the idea that he may never play professional golf again. After four back surgeries and a bout with prescription drugs this spring and summer, Woods gave a recent update that seemed encouraging. He’s been hitting 60-yard shots and working out, but at the Presidents Cup on Wednesday, Woods said he knows that doesn’t mean much yet. “My timetable is based on…

Sports Illustrated cover Sports Illustrated’s latest cover, which debuted Monday, is a tribute to the athletes, coaches and leaders of the sports world who took a stand this weekend against Donald Trump, attacks on our constitutional and civil rights, and the injustices suffered by blacks and other people of color in this country. The cover title, “A Nation Divided Sports United,” accompanies a picture of several of these sports figures,…

Betting tickets could potentially be printed in states other than Nevada depending on what the U.S. Supreme Court does in 2018. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) The U.S. Supreme Court has an important sports-related decision to make in 2018. Should it rule to repeal the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) and put an end to the federal ban on sports betting? If so, the repeal could result in numerous…

NCAA president Mark Emmert called the revelations contained in three federal indictments “deeply disturbing.” The University of Arizona—yes, the entire university (at least according to a statement)—was “appalled” to learn what the FBI has accused one of its assistant basketball coaches of doing. Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino said the details “came as a complete shock to me” and blamed “a few bad actors” when one indictment detailed a scheme…

He has a very good point. And the thing is the days that stick the sports are over. Skip, it started, look this goes back because we had actors. President Reagan was an actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor. Jesse Ventura. We see Al Franken was a writer for Saturday Night Live and now he’s in the Senate. We see and we saw a reality TV star become the most powerful…

At a rally in Alabama, President Donald Trump poured gasoline on the Colin Kaepernick national anthem-kneeling controversy, encouraging NFL owners to fire protesting players and calling them SOBs. Dozens of pro footballers and a few full teams responded last Sunday with linked arms and even more kneeling during the “Star-Spangled Banner” in a show of player solidarity. The loudest criticism of Kaepernick’s silent protest against police brutality and racial bias,…

So today, we have Auburn, Southern California, Oklahoma State and Arizona as the bad apples. They’re the college basketball programs that have assistant coaches who have been indicted by federal authorities because they allegedly accepted bribes to push players toward a slew of potential moneymakers — financial advisers, Adidas, on and on. It would appear, too, from easily connected dots in the documents, that Louisville and Miami are being accused…

COLLEGE BASKETBALL NEW YORK (AP) In one of the biggest crackdowns on the corrupting role of money in college basketball, 10 men – including a top Adidas executive and four assistant coaches – were charged with using hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to influence star athletes’ choice of schools, shoe sponsors, agents, even tailors. Some of the most explosive allegations appeared to involve Louisville, one of college basketball’s…

All across America last weekend, professional football players locked arms, took knees, stayed seated, or simply didn’t show up in a national anthem protest that symbolized their unity. In Southern California, a former pro athlete and Vietnam veteran has never felt more estranged. “It disgusts me,” Roy Gleason said. In the wake of a profane insult from President Trump, the NFL made headlines and magazine covers by teaming up to…

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced early Tuesday that charges of fraud and corruption have been brought against four current college basketball assistant coaches — Arizona’s Emanuel “Book” Richardson, Auburn’s Chuck Person, Oklahoma State’s Lamont Evans and USC’s Tony Bland. Managers, financial advisers and representatives of a major sportswear company have also been charged with federal crimes in a scandal that has rocked…

For generations, presidents have taken a proud and, at times, patronizing stance on American athletes—when not preoccupied with more important matters. Big Daddy in the White House didn’t bother much with sports. Yes, Jimmy Carter embraced the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, fresh off its gold medal upset in Lake Placid, and organized a boycott of the ’80 Summer Games in the Soviet Union. Seventy-five years earlier Teddy Roosevelt…

President Trump is sticking to sports. (Brynn Anderson/AP) At some point, it will be news when President Trump does not tweet about the NFL or sports in general. But he got back on that horse Tuesday morning, once again bringing up the NFL’s television ratings plus the events that preceded Monday night’s football game between the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones locked arms and knelt with…

Sports Illustrated unveiled its upcoming cover on Tuesday, and people weren’t impressed: Attempting to tap into protests that were held around the NFL last weekend and the back-and-forth between President Trump and Warriors star Stephen Curry, the cover aims to present sports as a unified force amid a country in turmoil. What it fails to do is depict why protests began in the first place. It ignores discussions about police…
