You don’t have to wait for the Super Bowl to see soccer hottie David Beckham’s underwear commercial for H&M. Whether you see it on TV or YouTube (after the jump), one thing you won’t see is Beckham’s famous bulge. There’s been a long-standing fear of the bulge in American culture. Why do so many American [...]

Ferris Bueller stealing the Super Bowl show
While the Super Bowl, pitting the New England Patriots against the New York Giants, will threaten to be the most-hyped football game in memory, the commercials are giving the game a run for its money. We previously reported on a Volkswagen commercial featuring Star Wars dogs and an underwear commercial featuring the best side of [...]
Is Madonna “bringing gay to the Super Bowl”?
Madonna is the halftime entertainment for this year’s Super Bowl. According to the gossip page of the New York Daily News: MADONNA is “bringing gay to the Super Bowl.” That’s what we overheard one of her dancers say at the premiere party for Her Madgesty’s “W.E.” at Top of the Standard on Monday night. On [...]
Sadly, Brendon Ayanbadejo demonstrates how to be a sore loser, holds pity party on Twitter
We at Outsports certainly appreciate Baltimore linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo’s NFL-leading advocacy for gay rights. Unfortunately, a Tweet from early this morning has also proven him to be a sore loser. Hours after his team blew a game to what Ayanbadejo deems an inferior team, he held a little pity party on Twitter: Share on Facebook
Patriots and Giants are two of NFL’s gay-friendly teams
It’s tough to conjur up two NFL teams that are more gay-friendly than the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. As Corey Johnson tweeted, I was thrilled to see two teams with a growing support for gay equality represent the NFL in the Super Bowl. For one, both Massachusetts and New York have [...]
Star Wars Volkswagen Super Bowl teaser is something to howl about
Thanks to Towleroad for tracking down this fantastic Super Bowl commercial teaser (video after the jump). Yes, the Super Bowl has gotten so big that the commercials have teaser trailers. Insane. As a long-time Star Wars fan, this one certainly has me excited. A dozen dogs of all shapes and sizes bark the Imperial March [...]
Baltimore Ravens’ Brendon Ayanbadejo flexes his muscles for gay rights
One of the coolest and most gay-supportive pro athletes in the world is Brendon Ayanbadejo, linebacker and special teams player for the Baltimore Ravens. He has been a vocal supporter for gay marriage in Maryland and gay rights in general. He also has an awesome body that he showed off for the NoH8 campaign (see [...]
New Jersey Assemblyman Charles Mainor directs anti-gay Tweet at Philadelphia Eagles
There is so much wrong with what New Jersey Assemblyman and Jersey City cop Charles Mainor tweeted while watching the Giants-Packers game Sunday night: “We are not going to just lay down, we come to play,” the message read. “Who the hell do you think we are the DALLAS COWGIRLS OR THOSE GAYBIRDS FROM PHILLY…NO WE [...]
Anti-gay Tony Dungy writes about Martin Luther King Jr.’s fight for equal rights
I woke up this morning to some Tweets that left me wondering if the words of Martin Luther King mean anything today. The tweet that started it was from NBC’s NFL analyst Tony Dungy, who has helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for an anti-gay organization and has said he opposes equality for gay [...]
NFL Playoffs: Say bye-bye to the Packers, Saints, Texans and Tebows/Broncos
The conference title games look even; Packers fall apart; Ravens get lucky; Tebow still stinks; Alex Smith shines; homoerotic quote of the week; hot player of the week. How I saw the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. In the upcoming championship games, the home Patriots are favored by 7 ½ over the Ravens and [...]
CBS airs Focus on the Family ad during Tim Tebow game
I was sitting down to watch the Patriots-Broncos AFC playoff game, and I was not expecting an ad from the anti-gay group Focus on the Family. The ad featured a bunch of a adorable kids quoting the Biblical verse John 3:16, closing with “life … wow.” Focus is not a religious organization but rather a [...]
Is Tim Tebow gay?
Before you roll your eyes and dismiss this as another anti-Tebow snark piece, it isn’t. In fact, it’s honestly made me rethink everything I’ve said about him. There is no denying that Tim Tebow is one of the top sports stories of the year, in part because of the Broncos’ turnaround, in part because of [...]
Texan Shaun Cody says teammate wore ‘sluttiest’ uniform ever in playoff
Shaun Cody of the Houston Texans (not to be confused with the other Sean Cody) is known for his sense of humor. It was on display on his Twitter feed after the Texans beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the playoffs. The evidence: Share on Facebook
NFL divisional playoff picks: One underdog will win
I had a friend in town last weekend, so for the first time ever I did not watch any playoff games live. Hence, there was no recap. Outside of the Broncos-Steelers thriller, though, I didn’t miss a whole lot in terms of excitement. The Giants’ 24-2 win over the Falcons sounded like one of the [...]
Tim Tebow, Tom Brady together at last
I saw this on someone’s Facebook page and thought it was funny with the Broncos and Patriots meeting this weekend: Share on Facebook
Jesus Christ refers to John 3:16 through Tim Tebow’s stats
For all of those non-believers out there, Jesus Christ has given us unshakable evidence that he was at the Steelers-Broncos game and personally decided the outcome. A famous Bible passage that Tebow has endorsed through his eye black in the past is John 3:16, which reads (in my New International Version): For God so loved the [...]
Paul Tagliabue and wife donated $1 million for Georgetown LGBT Center
Wow, we totally whiffed on this one. Last October, former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue and his wife donated $1 million to Paul’s alma mater, Georgetown University, to establish the Tagliabue Initiative for LGBT Life: Fostering Formation and Transformation. According to the Washington Blade, Tagliabue said this in a statement at the time of the donation: The [...]
Jesus answers Tim Tebow’s prayers. Broncos now face old coach Josh McDaniels
The Denver Broncos beat an injury-depleted Pittsburgh Steelers team Sunday night, forcing the rest of the country to suffer through another week of watching and listening to Tim Tebow pray. The game unfolded in the only way the Broncos can win with Tebow at quarterback. The Steelers drove the ball in the first quarter but [...]
Jonathan Vilma’s ‘asshole tendencies’
Last week, New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma Tweeted that grown men shouldn’t act feminine. He denied being homophobic and sexist, and in doing so he proved he’s just an asshole. I don’t intend to call names; I mean “asshole” in the most technical terms. “Asshole” is in the dictionary as “a stupid, incompetent, or [...]
Vote: Who is Outsports’ Jerk of the Year?
Last day to vote! Every year we crown our annual ‘Jerk of the Year,’ honoring those in sports who were, well, jerks. Last year’s ‘Jerk of the Year’ was the Belmont University administration, who fired soccer coach Lisa Howe after she came out of the closet. This year we have many worthy candidates from football, [...]
