Behind the Line

We are a year away from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar...and the potential for political protests is already beginning. Multiple teams in Europe have already begun protesting potential migrant working violations in Qatar.

One team who's been noticeably absent from these protests...is the Garreth Southgate led England national team. We give the reason Garreth Southgate and England have yet to protest against Qatar.

We also explain why the World Cup is not the place to protest...and how disrespectful it would be for World Cup athletes to protest in Qatar as invited guests to the country. We explain how there are conflicting stories regarding these supposed violations...and no confirmation has been given as to whether or not it's true.

Mike Florio claims to be a journalist. He started Pro Football Talk in 2001...and eventually merged with NBC to become an NFL Insider. However...Mike Florio is known more for writing fiction...than actual journalism.

Mike Florio was called out by Gil Brandt for his obsession with Aaron Rodgers vaccination status. In the span of 12 days...Mike Florio tweeted 78 times about Aaron Rodgers. We blast Mike Florio for attempting to denigrate Aaron Rodgers.

We also go after Deadspin...who has relentlessly attacked Aaron Rodgers the last two weeks. We explain how Mike Florio and sites like Deadspin...want to keep the pandemic alive...and don't want society returning to normal.

Melanie Leupolz is a professional soccer player in Europe. Melanie Leupolz plays professionally for Chelsea...and also plays for the German National Team. She was interviewed over the weekend about female compensation in soccer compared to men.

Melanie Leupolz said...women haven't earned the same level of compensation as their male counterparts. We react to the comments from Melanie Leupolz...and applaud her for refusing to take the SJW approach on this issue.

We take a look at the salary of Michael Jordan throughout his NBA career...and show how Michael Jordan didn't make major money until the NBA grew. We explain how athletes like Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird have it backwards...and want to be compensated before actually earning the money.

Tyler Sapp is the reigning Coach of the Year in the Van Buren district of Tennessee. Tyler Sapp led the girls basketball team to a 24-3 record last season...and expected to replicate that success this year. However...a week before the season began...he was fired by the Van Buren School Board.

Tyler Sapp was quickly rehired...after the school board realized they were going to be sued for firing him because of his gender. We react to this story...and also share the story of James Moore...a USC professor who hangs the Blue Lives Matter flag in his classroom.

We explain how both the story of Tyler Sapp and James Moore...could represent a shift in ideals in America. More people are beginning to speak out against social justice...and demand common sense decisions.

Jon Gruden is seeking revenge against the NFL and Roger Goodell. Jon Gruden announced yesterday that he is filing a lawsuit against Roger Goodell and the NFL. At the time...he is seeking unspecified damages.

We react to the lawsuit filed by Jon Gruden. We explain how this isn't about Gruden making money...this issue between Roger Goodell and Jon Gruden is personal. Roger Goodell used Jon Gruden as a scapegoat...to deflect attention away from the Washington Football Team investigation.

We show a pattern of behavior from Roger Goodell with NFL head coaches he doesn't like. We explain how Roger Goodell got in his feelings when he saw the Jon Gruden emails...and was out for revenge himself.

Enes Kanter made the media rounds again this week...continuing his vocal protest against the human rights violations occurring in China. However...Enes Kanter took it a step further...including Adam Silver and the NBA in his criticisms.

We reveal and react to Enes Kanter's comments to the media. We explain how Enes Kanter has Adam Silver and the NBA back into a corner...and how this gives him security from possibly being blackballed by the league.

We also reveal why Enes Kanter is fighting for human rights in China...and who we think should be the NBA spokesman on this issue.

Jalen Rose made some false accusations against Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver last Friday on NBA Countdown. We reveal and react to the false accusations made by Jalen Rose...and also reveal how ESPN decided to resolve the issue.

Instead of Jalen Rose going on the air to issue an apology for lying...ESPN has Stephen A Smith apologize for him. We explain how this is the woke covering for the woke...and blast the mainstream media for ignoring this story.

Kyle Rittenhouse is currently on trial...fighting for his life at 18 years old. Although this is clearly a case of self-defense...like everything else in America...opinions on the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse are split down the middle.

LeBron James blessed us with his biased opinion on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. We reveal and react to a tweet from LeBron James yesterday. We also react to comments made by Jeffrey Toobin on CNN regarding Kyle Rittenhouse.

Garden Grove, California hosted a youth basketball event over the weekend. However...the skill level of the female basketball players isn't what made the news. During one of the games...a young girl was clotheslined during play...resulting in a concussion.

What makes matters worse...her mother instructed her to do it. We play the clip of Lauryn Ham being victimized during this game...and show where you can audibly hear the mother...instructing her daughter to do this.

We explain why the child should be held responsible...but ultimately...the blame falls on the mother. We believe she should be charged. Also...why is the mainstream media not covering this story?

Charles Barkley interviewed Kevin Durant on Inside the NBA on TNT Tuesday night. During the interview...the topic of social media was raised. Kevin Durant is overly active on social media...while Charles Barkley refuses to engage.

Charles Barkley explained his anti-social media stance to Kevin Durant. We react to his comments...and also reveal an NBA study showing the political leanings of social media users. We claim it makes no sense for the NBA...Major League Baseball...the NFL...and other powerful corporations to allow social media reaction to influence their decisions.
