Contrary to popular belief I don’t dislike LeBron James. I almost feel sorry for him. He has been commodified since he was about 16 years old. I was a sophomore in high school the first time I saw him on television. And then he was on the covers of magazines. All before he even arrived […]

The lack of diversity in hockey is no secret. Joel Ward, a Canadian of Bajan descent, is one of approximately 18 Black players in the NHL. His name has been in the news lately, not because he is helping his team advance through the NHL playoffs but because of the racist backlash he has received […]

The talking heads elites in media and punditry use political sabermetrics to compare approval ratings at various times in presidential administrations. These politicos mainly use their heaps […]
