Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig is […]

I was watching the exciting Chiefs-Chargers game on Monday night when at the end of the first half ESPN cut to a shot of Chiefs coach Todd Haley mouthing an f-bomb into his headset. I replayed the scene on my DVR several times in slow motion and it’s obvious what Haley was saying. And from […]

UFC chief Dana White wants openly gay fighter.

Jed Hooper, captain of the Bristol, England, Old Ruffians rugby club, has come out as gay. The catalyst was a man he started to see. He told the Bristol Post: “I met someone earlier this year who said he could not be with someone who was in the closet. That, basically, was the catalyst that […]

Aside from the Packers, who are the elites? Pittsburgh plays keep-away; lack of thrilling games; Tebow bombs; hot player of the week. How I saw Week 8 of the NFL: This season is a muddle. Outside of unbeaten 7-0 Green Bay (which had a bye Sunday), it's hard to figure which are the elite teams. […]

Our friend at the awesome sports photography site Trackpic has the privilege of shooting a lot of the top track events in Europe, where the sport is very popular. This summer he was at the U23 European Athletics Championships held in Ostrava, Czech Republic. A complete gallery is here, but he sent Outsports these of […]

Game 6 hero David Freese Update: Game 7 was so blah that it's not worth a separate item. The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Texas Rangers, 6-2, and are the World Series champions. The series, though, basically ended in Game 6. Previous: The headline might seem harsh but there is no other angle to explain […]

New England Patriots Rob Gronkowski spent part of his bye week hanging out with porn star Bibi Jones. They had so much fun that Gronkowski posed shirtless (photo below) while Jones was wearing his #87 jersey. It seemed rather harmless to me, but now he has issued the obligatory apology. "I was not intending to […]

I have been writing this year about gay high school athletes who have started blogs. They tend to feed off and inspire each other and provide a window into what it means to be a gay teenager in America. The latest is the Transpiration of Andrew, written by Andrew, a senior captain of his varsity […]

Ross Ford of Scotland The Rugby World Cup just ended in New Zealand, with the host Kiwis taking the title with a hard-fought 8-7 win over France. In honor of the event, Dean Knight, a gay fan, has put together his all-hot team from the event. His list on Facebook caught the eye of the […]

Editor’s note: At 15, Los Angeles volleyball player Galen Dodd is likely the youngest athlete who has ever told his coming out story for Outsports. He contacted us and had the full backing of his parents, who helped him edit the story. By Galen Dodd Three dates will forever be ingrained in my mind: July […]

Hot player of the week A typical Chargers loss; the Lions lose again and Suh loses it again; Tebow time and hot players of the week. How I saw Week 7 of the NFL. Sleepwalking: The Chargers' 27-21 loss to the Jets (4-3) was a microcosm of how underachieving they have been since Norv Turner […]

Kirk Cousins Wow. In what was the best ending I've seen in either a college or pro football game this season, Michigan State beat Wisconsin, 37-31, on a last-play throw-it-up-and-hope touchdown pass (video below). The pass was thrown by Kirk Cousins and was caught off a ricochet by Keith Nichol, a former QB. The refs […]

From our friends at Puck Buddys comes a nice little story about Bobby and Jon and their date at a Dallas Stars NHL game. Bobby, 23, is a huge Stars fan and he realized his dating relationship with Jon was going well when he agreed to attend a game. “I was so excited for him […]

There are really no words to convey the sadness over another suicide by a gay teenager, this time Jamie Hubley, 15, from Ottawa. He killed himself Saturday, overcome by depression from being bullied and harassed as the only openly gay student at his school. He was picked on because he preferred figure skating to ice […]

We have featured Brenner Green before, a college runner in Connecticut who did a great It Gets Better video and also wrote about his coming out experiences. He has a great idea for his senior honors thesis and needs the help of other athletes. I’ll let him explain: Hi, my name is Brenner Green and […]

The World Series starts Wednesday with a matchup few expected — the Texas Rangers vs. the St. Louis Cardinals. I can’t say this is one to excite the senses. I will be rooting for the Rangers, the first World Series loser to make it back since the 1992 Braves. I can't stand baseball allowing wild […]

Our latest video in Outsports’ partnership with the It Gets Better Project comes from Vincent Pryor, who was out to his teammates while playing defensive end for TCU in 1994. We chronicled his amazing story about how he set a school single-game sack record the week after coming out to his team. “When you’re closeted […]

Hot player of the week The 49ers beat the Lions, but the big story is the coaches acting like bitches after; Saints coach breaks leg; Cowboys wimp out against Pats; MVP pick; hot player of the week. How I saw Week 6 of the NFL: The coach of the year so far this season is […]
