By Dan Woog It's been over two decades since the winds of queer change swept through college campuses. Across America, universities now sponsor GLBT centers, offer gender studies programs, and pledge never to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. "Out" has become the new "in" – everywhere, that is, except the locker room. Finally, […]

A quarterback at Wartburg College in Iowa is being charged with throwing a homophobic slur at a gay student at the college. QB says he was just being a “dumb college kid.” Judge could send him to jail for 30 days where he could find out just how “dumb” gay sex really is. -Cyd Zeigler […]

West Hollywood’s favorite horsey face new darling just might not be so gay-friendly. Despite pictures floating around the internet of Brady Quinn getting chummy with friends and dressing like the Village People, the Cleveland Browns overrated backup quarterback is being accused of yelling “faggot,” among other things, at gay passersby with a group of his […]

Macies has found acceptance at Columbia and in triathlons

In 2002, I did a stint on Fox Sports Radio’s very popular afternoon drive sports talk show, “Kiley & Booms.” The duo of Kevin Kiley and Chuck Booms were split up before the end of the year and the show was canceled. Both men made random tours around the dial over the last five years, […]

Here we go again. Last year it was the Snickers commercial that some gays got into an uproar about. Now Richard Simmons has some of them upset. Bridgestone released an ad for the game that features a driver trying to avoid a deer and Alice Cooper (odd, but whatever) standing in the middle of the […]

We don’t want to venture into politics here on Outsports, but John Amaechi is certainly going there so we’ll follow him into the shallow water. As I wrote in a recap of a panel discussion in Aspen last month, John’s big into the distinction between progress and change. For Keith Boykin’s new Web site, he […]

These guys are making millions of dollars. They’ll be making millions of dollars for years to come. So why did they sign a contract to appear in the dumbest commercial in the history of TV advertising? My only guess is they’re so hard up for chicks they need to advertise their skills on TV. -Cyd […]

Just a few hours away, here are some of the stories surrounding the hype of the game. Just a few hours away, here are some of the stories surrounding the hype of the game.

By Ted RybkaEach year at the NCAA Convention, coaches, athletic directors, students and faculty members gather to share information, address problems and figure out the best way to integrate academics and sports. Some of the housekeeping and logistical stuff can be incredibly boring (it probably takes at least four carafes of coffee per person to […]

Gotta love these two wacky stories In other NFC Championship news, Eli has apparently told his brother Peyton that he doesn't want him in Green Bay because of the growing 'jinx' nonsense. Given the weather in Green Bay, I can't imagine Peyton is too upset. -Cyd Zeigler jr. Gotta love these two wacky stories In […]

There’s been lots of talk this week about the cold weather at the AFC and NFC Championship games today. The latest weather forecast for the kickoffs at the two games: Foxboro: 22 degrees, feels like 10, partly cloudy Green Bay: 2 degrees, feels like -13, clear I played in conditions like this one time about […]

Last Sunday, as their team was getting its ass kicked, Indianapolis Colts fans booed 14-year-old Anna Grant (video below), who was introduced at halftime as one of the Punt Pass and Kick national champions, egged on by the Colts mascot. They booed her because she is from New Hampshire and was wearing the jersey of […]

Tuesday night on the season premiere of American Idol, a very large, sweet young woman by the name of Temptress Brown was featured. One of the things that made Temptress so unique is that she plays football. Middle linebacker. Ryan Seacrest took the opportunity to look butch and decided to give this analysis of how […]

By Chip McKenney One of the oldest sports in the world is a new favorite for some gay men and lesbians, at least in Los Angeles. Polo has all the ingredients to become a great sport for gay people to participate in. It has a vast history, innate beauty, requires teamwork, athleticism and is played […]

Laughing heartily at the fools who picked the Jags; God sends Dungy packing How Cyd Say the WeekEmail Cyd 17 down, 2 to go Thank you Jesus! It’s very weird that I’ve now heard this kinda thing from three different people in the last 48 hours, including my old pal Brendan Lemon. It’s official. God […]

Hockey game, gay-sports discussion, highlight Aspen's big event DENVER, Colo. — Promoting a rivalry seems like an odd way to bring two parties together, but in the case of this event, it is the perfect way to illustrate similarities rather than differences. The Fifth Annual Aspen Friendship Cup 2008 will take place in Aspen, Colo., […]

ESPN’s promos always have a great sense of humor, but this use of everyone’s favorite health guru in the shortest of shorts just might take the cake (don’t eat that!). -Cyd Zeigler jr.

It’s been great to see and hear the reaction to Scott Jordan’s story we have been running since earlier this week. I found Scott because he had been entered in a contest on Gay.com to find the best (or something like that) gay athlete. I emailed him and asked him to write his story. He […]

– It’s been a bad year for Jason Kidd. Maybe he thinks he’s a Detroit Piston and it’s 1989. – I don't know what's worse about this story: That the Oregon State women's basketball team needed double overtime to beat an Arizona team with only four players, that Arizona finished with only two players on […]
