I still remember Sports Illustrated blowing a gasket over NY Giants TE Mark Bavaro being involved in an anti-abortion film. Given that SI had frequently defended other sports figures who took on political issues, it seemed a bit strange. Except those political figures had adopted politically correct positions. Bavaro had opposed the high sacrament of liberalism, so he was to be portrayed as being out of line.

Just more typical East Coast media left-wing idiocy.

Heck I still remember SI having this article about global warming. Saying all those things that was going to happen.

I remember some bitter criticism about a Yankee pitcher who dared to make some religious commercials.........they blamed his poor pitching outing on the fact that he had been making those commercials.......

Those liberal liberals.......feh!

Exactly. As a pretty rabid sports fan, I've had the dismay of seeing sports journalism go further and more militantly left. It's been said that sports journalists are the last refuge of leftist media hacks. Most are unathletic weenies who, having grown up being picked last, either spend their careers sycophantically drooling over pro athletes or using the guise of sports to spread their warped worldview.

I never hear about that with Bavaro. What happened?
