Major League Baseball and the players’ union will add sexual orientation to its nondiscrimination policy as part of a new labor deal, the New York Daily News is reporting. From Andy Martino: The new collective bargaining agreement adds “sexual orientation” to its section on discrimination, a person with direct knowledge of the agreement told the […]

Tim Tebow says he loves Jesus more than he loves his family and is not going to keep quiet about. In response to former Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer telling him to cool it with his public praise-the-Lord pronouncements, Tebow told ESPN, no way: “If you’re married, and you have a wife, and you really […]

Jake Plummer Cyd's "Why I hate Tim Tebow" post continues to draw a lot of comments. Ex-Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer likes and admires Tebow but wishes he would quit shoving his religious beliefs in our faces. And he said it quite well during a radio interview on XTRA Sports 910 in Phoenix: Tebow, regardless […]

We were wondering why our traffic was very high today and then discovered the reason: Our list of words you couldn’t put on the back of an NFL jersey (our most-viewed page ever) was back in the news. It seems that it mirrors that being considered by the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority, which wants to ban […]

Peter Roebuck, 55, a former Australian cricket player turned a well-known commentator on the sport, leaped 70 feet to his death last week after police came to his South African hotel room to quiz him about an alleged sexual assault on a 26-year-old man. Police are now questioning 16 young men who stayed at his […]

One thing we're proud of at Outsports is introducing our readers to up-and-coming athletes. Two years ago it was then-Florida wide receiver Riley Cooper. After his big game for the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday night, this post got a lot of attention so here it is again… Florida has a male model posing as a wide […]

Hot player of the week Green Bay improves to 10-0, but someone will beat them; the Patriots are lucky and good; the AFC is weak; the Eagles stay alive; Corso's f-bomb, a ripped punter is hot player of the week. How I saw Week 11 of the NFL: 10-0: Now that the Packers have hit […]

Sepp Blatter, the ruling czar of soccer, is in hot water after saying there is no racism in the sport. His most outrageous statement was that anything said on the pitch was heat of the moment and that the players should just shake hands later. All this happened as English player John Terry is accused […]

A Great Falls, Mont., high school football player is facing rape and sexual assault charges after a hazing incident this fall in the locker room. Alex Botina-Roehm, 18, was arrested Monday and is charged with hazing two students. His bail was set at just more than $100,000. Court records say the hazing involved coming up […]

I love it when the bogus BCS is a mess. Major college football stubbornly refuses to have a playoff and the result is a unsatisfying system that got turned upside down Friday night when Iowa State stunned previously unbeaten Oklahoma State, 37-31, in overtime. LSU and Houston are the only major unbeaten teams and Houston […]

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky proclaimed his innocence in an interview with Bob Costas of NBC (complete transcript). Sandusky said he regrets showering with boys, but says it was just “horse play” and that he is not a pedophile and did not rape a boy in the shower. Sandusky is free on […]

David Testo Former teammates of David Testo, the pro soccer player who came out as gay, say they learned a lot from him about homosexuality and are glad he is at peace. Nevio Pizzolitto believes most of the North American Soccer League knew Testo was gay, adding he thought “everybody” already knew. “It wasn’t like […]

“Dream Team” chokes again; Colts in clear lead for Andrew Luck; Bills, Lions flopping; seedings; hot players of the week includes one who hugs his cheerleader-girlfriend. How I saw Week 10 in the NFL: Fire Andy Reid Now: My lead-in is a tribute to longtime Outsports contributor Joe in Philly. He would often use as […]

A head high school football coach in Wyoming has resigned after he gave his team a mock survey that used homophobic and sexist language. The coach, Pat Lynch, of Buffalo High School handed out the survey called “Hurt Feelings Report” to his players prior to a playoff game. (Update: See survey below). It provided boxes […]

I am a graduate of Penn State University and yet have never been a fan of football coach Joe Paterno. So I am not saddened that he is out, effective immediately. His actions – and rather inaction – in the child molestation case against former assistant Jerry Sandusky made it impossible for him to continue. […]

Add German soccer player Arne Friedrich to the list of athletes who are asserting their heterosexual credentials amid rumors they are gay. He says it’s odd that when he types his name into a search engine and it suggests adding the word “gay,” tens of thousands results appear. “It’s very funny when you name the […]

Antony Golec, a defender for the Adelaide United soccer team in Australia, has apologized and been reprimanded after he sent a tweet that used a gay slur to insult a referee. Golec was watching a match on TV involving two other teams Saturday when he took to Twitter to insult referee Ben Williams for some […]

The only good thing about LSU’s dull 9-6 overtime win over Alabama in a game the media hyperventilated about all week is that we won’t see a rematch in the BCS title game. At least we better not. College football fans don’t deserve to be put to sleep again. I can appreciate a great defensive […]

Eli rallies New York again; the Ravens stun the Steelers late; can anybody beat the Packers?; Arizona bromance; Colts lead the Suck for Luck derby, plus hot player of the week. Deja vu all over again: It was eerie the similarities between the Patriots-Giants Super Bowl and Sunday's game. The Giants (6-2) won both on […]

Talked about messed up. Iran is considering administering 74 lashes to two soccer players who had a butt grope after scoring a goal Saturday (video below). The two, Mohammad Nosrati and Sheys Rezaei, play for Persepolis and have already been suspended and fined $40,000 for what are being called “immoral” acts. Talked about messed up. […]
