Behind the Line

Since 1926...George Washington University in Washington DC has gone by the moniker of Colonials. This mascot made sense...considering the namesake of the school is one of America's Founding Fathers.

However...starting in 2023 the Colonials will cease to exist. It was announced yesterday that Geroge Washington University will change their moniker in the interest of woke compliance. We reveal and react to this announcement.

We discuss how colleges have been used for decades to indoctrinate students with social justice. We outline the issues with the college system...and explain why sending your kids to schools like George Washington University is a waste of time and money.

Around the Horn used to be one of the premiere programs on ESPN. The rotating panel of journalists like Woody Paige, Jay Mariotti, Tim Cowlishaw, and Jackie MacMullen used to attract 750,000 viewers for ESPN.

However...Around the Horn no longer has the mainstream impact it experienced in the past. We discuss the decline of Around the Horn...and explain the reason behind their demise. We reveal and react to commentary from David Dennis Jr...showing how Around the Horn has become another propaganda program at ESPN.

NBA Finals ratings continue to disappoint. We compare NBA Finals ratings for Game 5 to ratings for Game in 2019...and question how the NBA lost five million viewers in three years. We discuss how Adam Silver and the NBA are making the same mistakes they made in the summer of 2020.

We also discuss the NFL going overboard with their pride this month. We reveal and react to several videos of the NFL taking part in marches in Los Angeles and Washington DC. We explain the possible reason both the NFL and NBA are overtly political...when it doesn't make sense from a business perspective.

The PGA and the mainstream media are blasting Phil Mickelson and other golfers for participating in LIV...which is being financed by Saudi Arabia. However...we've discovered the PGA is using this as a distraction to cover their own relationship with China.

We reveal and react to comments made by Howard Stern regarding Phil Mickelson. We use the comments from Howard Stern to display the media narrative...and uncover the PGA's dealings with the CCP.

ESPN dedicated First Take Monday morning to comments made by Jack Del Rio regarding January 6th. ESPN allowed their platform to be used...for Stephen A Smith and Marcus Spears to spread pure propaganda.

We reveal and react so clips from Stephen A Smith and Marcus Spears. We dispute their factually incorrect claims...and question whether they did this purposefully or whether they're uninformed. We also react to comments made by Stan Van Gundy...claiming January 6th is more important than inflation.

John Kennedy is the former football coach at Bremerton High School outside of Seattle. His case is currently being heard by the Supreme Court. The Bremerton School District is challenging John Kennedy right to pray after football games.

Sports Illustrated published an extensive report on John Kenney Monday...claiming the act of prayer is an erosion to democracy. We react to the report from Sports Illustrated. We discuss how the woke are concerned about prayer...but not concerned about schools teaching children about gender identity.

Both the WNBA and NWSL are hosting their woke celebrations this month. We react to a recent article from Nancy Armour in USA Today...explaining how the WNBA and NWSL are helping increase pay for the average American woman.

We also discuss the woke celebrations happening in the WNBA and NWSL. We react to the story of Jaelene Daniels...who was ostracized from the NWSL for refusing to participate in the celebrations. We explain how this is the opposite of inclusion...and highlights the hypocrisy in the NWSL.

Preliminary ratings for Game 4 of the NBA Finals were released Saturday afternoon. NBA Finals ratings have struggled through the first three games...and with the series being competitive there was an expectation of an uptick in ratings for Game 4.

That's not the news Adam Silver received Saturday afternoon. We reveal and react to the ratings for Game 4 of the NBA Finals. We discuss how we could be seeing the end of the Golden State Warriors being the most popular team in the NBA. We also explain why NBA Finals ratings could spell trouble for the NBA.

FOX News has dominated cable television for three decades. As the lone conservative voice in the mainstream media...FOX News captures the entire conservative audience while other outlets split the liberal audience.

However...it appears FOX News could be joining Club Woke. We reveal and react to a story that aired on FOX News Friday. The story of the Whittington family was produced by FOX News correspondent Bryan Llenas.

We explain our theory as to why FOX News aired this story...and what it could mean for the future of the network.

Esquire magazine compiled an interesting list of the top sports podcasters in America. What Esquire really did was compile a list of the least listened to sports podcasts in America. Esquire magazine made the claim that Bomani Jones has the number one podcast in the country.

We reveal and react to the list from Esquire. The magazine also claims Sarah Spain and Jemele Hill host relevant podcasts. We dispute this claim by revealing the audience size of both Sarah Spain and Jemele Hill.
