V NEWSFEED // Reduxx on Monday released an article citing a new medical report that states controversial boxer Imane Khelif, the athlete who won gold in the women’s welterweight boxing category during the 2024 Paris Olympics, was born male. Donald Trump Jr., son of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, took the opportunity to speak out against men taking part in women’s sports. “No more men in women’s sports!!!” wrote the younger Trump. “I called this when it happened. I was censored, shadow-banned and as usual I was right just like so many of you were.” According to Reduxx, French journalist...

Things are a-changin’ in Vegas! And dramatically at that! The Las Vegas Raiders announced late Sunday night they have fired their offensive coordinator Luke Getsy after the team got off to a terrible 2-7 start. It was Getsy’s first campaign with the team. Oh, but that’s not all. Las Vegas decided to can their quarterbacks coach Rich Scangarello and offensive line coach James Cregg as well. Scangarello and Cregg were also in their first year with the Raiders. After suffering a dismal 41-24 defeat against the Cincinnati Bengals, the black and silver have now lost five straight games, something the...

A Virginia college swim team joined former President Donald Trump on stage Saturday night as he rallied his supporters and called for barring transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports. Speaking to the crowd in Salem, Virginia, the county seat of Roanoke, Trump lashed out at the “radical left” for its “transgender craziness” — a particularly personal issue for the athletes from nearby Roanoke College. In Oct. 2023, a transgender swimmer who previously competed on the men’s team a year prior joined the women after transitioning, prompting the female athletes to sound the alarm over being forced to compete against...

Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele became embroiled in a heated debate about abortion on Piers Morgan's 'Uncensored' show this week. Steele, who left ESPN last year after settling a lawsuit with the network, appeared on Thursday night's edition of the talk show to discuss abortion rights ahead of this month's US election. During the debate, the television host and Donald Trump supporter claimed there are currently no laws preventing babies from being aborted when they are born, an accusation which was challenged by political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen. 'Have things changed? Yes,' Steele said. 'But there are plenty of states...

NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy urged voters to stand against Amendment 4 during a speech at Clearwater Central Catholic High School. “I happen to believe that these babies in the womb are lives, and I know everybody doesn’t believe that, but I happen to believe it. My Bible tells me that they are,” Dungy said. “My wife Lauren and I have eight adopted children in our home right now, and when...

President Trump in the Executive Box at Game No. 5 at Yankee Stadium would be epic. He would have 50,000 giving him a standing ovation. Let's see if Kamala shows up at Game #6 (if needed) at Dodger Stadium, and how the crowd there would greet her.

The Indiana Fever on Sunday announced that they have “parted ways” with Coach Christie Sides – probably the most worthless coach in the history of basketball. ... it wasn’t her coaching style that elevated the team—it was Caitlin Clark’s undeniable star power. ...

Despite Coach Sides, Caitlin Clark had the most spectacular season as a rookie in the history of the WNBA.

The twelfth meeting of the Yankees and the Dodgers in the Fall Classic. A coast to coast championship. The Yankees are up 8 - 3 all time. Who will win it all this year? I say Yankees in 7.

There’s no bigger stage in baseball than a World Series between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and there’s no bigger star than Japanese slugger Shohei Ohtani. The 30-year-old’s ability to hit mammoth home runs, pitch over 100 mph and steal bases with ease got him a $700 million contract from the Dodgers this past offseason. But despite his on-field exploits, the 30-year-old is also known for being one of the most humble players in the league. It’s an approach that was instilled in him when he was just a promising high school athlete. Ohtani attended Hanamaki...
