KCRW in Santa Monica is having a half-hour show devoted to homophobia in sports on its “Politics of Culture” show, airing live online Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Eastern.

I was like millions of Americans hoping that Gordon Hayward’s desperation, last-second shot would drop and give Butler an improbable NCAA men’s college basketball title. But the ball caromed off the backboard and hit the front of the rim and out and Duke held on for a dramatic 61-59 win. It was the closest NCAA […]

Wow, this is a real WTF? moment — the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday traded 10-year quarterback Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins. All the Eagles got in return was Washington’s second-round pick this year (No. 37 overall) and either a third- or fourth-rounder next year. That seems like a small amount to get for a […]

Butler cutie Gordon Hayward CBS got the matchup it wanted in the NCAA men's college basketball final — Butler vs. Duke, David vs. Goliath. It all came together when Butler held off Michigan State, 52-50, while Duke ripped West Virginia, 78-57. The two Final Four games were generally uninteresting. For a two-point game, the Butler-Michigan […]

We have a terrific first-person account about the coming out journey of a collegiate cross country runner. While he allows us to use the name of his school, he is using a pseudonym for now since he wants to come out to his teammates in person (we know his identity). I find most interesting his […]

Illustration from Dime. I always find it interesting when non-gay sites write about the subject of gays in sports. It's often a splash of cold water to the face when I allow myself to think that most everyone might be starting to be accepting. I'm especially intrigued by the comments, since their anonymity allows people […]

Well, so much for the Kansas-Villanova final I picked in the Outsports NCAA pool. Villanova, a No. 2 seed, lost to St. Mary’s, but the even bigger stunner was Kansas losing, 69-67, to Northern Iowa. I had not watched college basketball in the regular season, so when the pairings were announced it was interesting how […]
