Tucked into this Q&A in the New York Times Magazine piece on the home life of soccer’s Freddie Ljungberg, now with the Seattle Sounders, was a question about gossip and this was his response: There’s been a gay rumor for a long time. I don’t mind at all. I am proud of that. I love […]

Openly gay Olympic diving champ Greg Louganis is throwing his support behind Equality California’s ‘Swim For Equality’ in September. To kick off his support, Louganis is the headline guest speaker at a cocktail party next Saturday, June 19. I am so proud to be a part of the inaugural Swim for Equality, an event that […]

Lady Gaga went gonzo at a Mets game the other day, popping the finger to photographers and then making out with a woman (much more interesting than a Mets game). The Mets moved her from her original seats since she was being besieged by paparazzi. This is where Jerry Seinfeld comes in. She was moved […]

I taped and fast-forwarded through the 1-1 South Africa-Mexico match that opened the World Cup in South Africa. And I am already sick of the vuvuzela, the plastic horns that fans blow endlessly. The collective noise sounds like a gigantic swarm of bees and it drowns out everything else going on. ESPN will need to […]

As Kyle Beach was being harassed with anti-gay slurs for reporting sexual assault to the Blackhawks, players got caught on camera doing this.

The NCAA has found that Pete Carroll, Reggie Bush and the USC football program cheated in the early 2000s. Bush apparently got benefits he should not have gotten. And now that Carroll and Bush and virtually everyone else who benefited from it are gone, the NCAA has punched the new players and coaching staff in […]

While South Korea plays Greece in the World Cup on Saturday, the gays in Seoul will be marching the streets in their gay pride festivities. Yep, somehow Korea’s opening match fell while the country’s gays won’t be anywhere near a TV. CNN’s gay Korea correspondent Kyle Burton is picking the parties over the soccer. While […]

It seems Gareth Thomas and Nick Youngquest have a Twitter affair brewing. The two began a banter about Thomas’ profile picture (which is now a shirtless shot, right), and it quickly turned to pubic hair and Youngquest being on all fours. The latest entry came yesterday from Thomas… Not had our naked twister yet,but we […]

Jonathan Toews Patrick Kane scored on a bizarre goal four minutes into overtime to give the Chicago Blackhawks a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers and the team's first Stanley Cup title since 1961. The Blackhawks won the thrilling series, 4-2, in which there were two overtime games. Kane's goal was strange because he seemed […]

Germany’s Lukas Podolski The World Cup starts in two days and most of the world is obsessed with the month-long event. In the U.S. though, interest is not as high. More Americans do follow the World Cup and ratings increase every four years (it's great that every game is now televised), but the game is […]

In some fun city v. city jabbing, the Chicago Tribune printed a poster yesterday featuring Philadelphia Flyer Chris Pronger in a figure skating skirt and labeled “Chrissy Pronger.” Ha ha. So funny. When was this poster created, 1982? It’s dumb for sure, something I’d expect to hear in my fraternity house. But count me among […]

One in a series of first-person articles from athletes competing in the 2010 Gay Games in Cologne. By Reggie SnowdenSan Francisco I plan on attending the Gay Games in Cologne for a number of reasons, but first and foremost will be because of the great camaraderie of relationships from previous Gay Games. My first Gay […]

ESPN SportsCenter hosts are so macho and cool. They’re the most awesome, masculine dudes around, man. Just take Neil Everett and Robert Flores. They proved it last night when they showed a diver in a speedo plummeting a good 30 meters to the water below. Everett’s comment on the dive: You know what's not a […]

The eternal athletic debate about whether jocks should have sex during a competition or abstain gets raised to its most absurd level at World Cup soccer time. All the different nations mean different attitudes about sex. The English players have been banned from sex, while the Argentines say have at it. Brazil's president (not the […]

I don’t know whether Gawker’s Brian Moylan knows the game of soccer, but he certainly has an eye for the players. That’s apparent in his entertaining list of the 10 hottest players on the U.S. World Cup team, which starts play Saturday against England. He says this about Benny Feilhaber (photo right): Pros: For an […]

I was going to start this post with the “there’s still lots of basketball to be played,” but that’s not remotely true. With only a few games left to this NBA season, we are potentially on the verge of a classic NBA Finals. Last night was the epitome of this Finals matchup. The quintessential team […]

Rafael Nadal is officially back in top form after missing much of last year with an injury. After winning his fifth French Open championship without losing a set, he now trails Bjorn Borg’s record of six French Open titles by one. These next few months are huge for Nadal. With seven Grand Slam titles, he […]

Despite the incredible number of NCAA Championships won by the Pac-10 in the last two decades (averaging nine per year), many on the East Coast still view it as a weak conference. But if they pull of their plan, they will have reshaped the entire NCAA landscape. The conference has approved a plan to expand, […]

If you’ve been to a pro basketball game, you know the “kiss cam” is a popular feature. It’s rare, and in some places forbidden, that you’ll see the cam focus on a gay or lesbian couple. Even at WNBA games, they often shy away from it. So when the kiss cam at Game 1 of […]

Former UFC champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, aka the new Mr. T, made a comment last week that acting is “gay.” People got outraged and demanded an apology. Jackson has responded, but sans apology. Instead, he offers some insight into who he is; And despite the “insensitive” remark, I think I sort of buy his response. […]
