One such "Verified Account" is that of San […]

News flash: Homophobia lives on in Chicago baseball. At the recent Cubs-White Sox series, fans of the White Sox apparently decided that it would be fun to point out how Gaaaaay the Cubs are.

EPIC. In a rematch of their semifinal in Oz, Serena Williams + Elena Dementieva met up in the Wimbledon semifinals and put on the best ladies' match of the YEAR and maybe the best match since Venus Williams defeated Lindsay Davenport to raise the Venus Rosewater Dish in 2005. A round of applause please! *clap, […]

Tommy Haas made good this time against one of the big boys. At the French Open last month, the German baller was up two sets and held a break point against eventual champ Roger Federer and caved in five. And today, HotHaas was up two sets on Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon quarters, lost the […]

I find it kind of funny when I see companies pop up trying to wrap themselves in athletic nomenclature so they can better market their wares to gay men. The most glaring example is surely Jock Soap. Today I stumbled across an underwear company in Australia called TeamM8 that’s doing just the same. Don’t get […]

Times reports, that members of the Birmingham High football team participated in a photo shoot with “Bruno,” the flamboyantly gay character played by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. (Some photos below).

Ana Ivanovic’s Wimbledon campaign came crashing down in a pool of tears today after suffering a mid-match injury in her fourth rounder.

With the news that the Michigan Panthers gay flag football team lost one of its players to a fatal heart attack during the second annual Pride Bowl in Chicago over the weekend, I was left wondering what I would do if I lost a teammate in the middle of a game or a tournament. My […]

I’ve never understood why so many women think Derek Jeter is the hottest athlete around, but he’s again been named their hottest baseball player in an informal poll. I’ve been wondering if it’s due to the label of “hot athlete” that straight men in the media have given him. Because he’s a passable guy for […]

Roger Federer won his French Open final rematch Monday, beating Robin Soderling 6-4, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5).

The U.S. men’s soccer team lost […]

Maria Kirilenko of Russia is ranked 59th but got a Centre Court match. Who knew the people running Wimbledon were sexist pigs?

For example, 28th ranked Sorana Cirstea got to […]

Photos below. It’s hard to go wrong […]
