Colin Kaepernick Doesn’t Watch the NFL Anymore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On August 26, 2016 — just before, well, everything — NFL.com reporter Steve Wyche and his colleague Mike Garafolo noticed that 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was not coming out of the locker room for the national anthem before exhibition games. Wyche asked Kaepernick, who had nearly won the 49ers the Super Bowl three years before but was recovering from an injury at the time, to explain his thinking. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black peopl
This Could Be the Year for Another Tortured New York Franchise (opens the original)

The beginning of the NFL season on Wednesday got me thinking: Who is the league’s version of the Knicks? Who is the team that, if they were to finally win a long-lusted-after Super Bowl, would capture the entire country’s imagination? It’s not a one-to-one comparison: There is nothing anywhere–and especially not in the NFL–quite like the Knicks — nothing in the NFL could come anywhere close to having that kind of juice. (You’d never see Timothée following an NFL team around; he’s a soccer guy an
The WNBA’s Sophie Cunningham Saga Is a Growing Pain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The WNBA and its fans are rapidly learning what happens when your sport becomes popular. As I’ve long argued, women’s sports are poised to become an unquestionable growth industry, so it should not be surprising to see how the WNBA has been thrown into the ever-insatiable cultural maw.

This is true in and on every field, from polit
Spain-Argentina Wasn’t a Classic, But This World Cup Was (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before we talk about the end of the World Cup, we have to talk about the actual end of the World Cup, which featured Spain beating Argentina 1-0 thanks to an extra-time goal from Ferran Torres in the 106th minute. The final, it has to be said, was a mess. It featured a dog’s breakfast of a halftime show that went on twice as long as it was supposed to and made you feel, to paraphrase Matt Damon’s Odysseus, like it had been ten years on this fucking pitch. Spain earned its second World Cup and fi
The U.S. Lost to Belgium in 2014. Things Have Changed. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This Fourth of July weekend, if you are looking for a brief time warp back to a moment in your lifetime when America felt almost normal, may I direct you to the last time the U.S. played Belgium in a World Cup. It was 2014, in Brazil — back before the World Cup routinely took place in countries with authoritarian regimes like Qatar, Russia, and, uh, well … Anyway, the U.S. team, under coach Jurgen Klinsmann, had advanced to the Round of 16 to play a Belgium side that was heavily favored and for
