The game kicks off on Sunday, February 8 between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers. And with a full week of festivities planned for the week leading up to the game, the NFL announced today the appointment of one YouTube creator as the league’s “Chief Kindness Officer” and “Creator of the Week.”That prestigious role goes to Dhar Mann, a YouTuber with nearly 27 million subscribers who’s known for his scripted content. (Gotta be honest, I’ve never heard of this guy until…well, pretty much right now).According to an interview with...

“I can’t watch the new NFL Kickoff. Like many others, I just turn my head,” he wrote on Truth Social. “The ridiculous new Kickoff Rule takes away the prestige and power of the game,” he continued. He concluded by saying he hoped college football didn’t follow suit. The league instituted a new format for the 2024 season in which the kicker stays on his team’s 35-yard line but the rest of the coverage unit lines up on the opposing team’s 40-yard line. They cannot move until the ball hits the ground or a player in the designated landing zone —...

GLENDALE — Off the rails. That’s about the best way to describe the ending of the Arizona Cardinals’ 22-21 loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 5.

Ms. Jong-Fast is the host of the “Fast Politics” podcast and the author of “How to Lose Your Mother: A Daughter’s Memoir.”Nobody thinks the N.F.L. is run by a bunch of woke libs. Or for that matter, that most N.F.L. fans fit that description. In fact, the team owners, many of whom trend MAGA oligarch, donated $23 million to Republicans in the 2024 election, versus $2.5 million to Democrats. And of course there’s a reason Colin Kaepernick’s career was so resolutely benched. Many woke libs won’t even let their kids play football, not wanting to risk that their meritocratic brains...

The Nevada Supreme Court unanimously (7-0) rejected the NFL's request to rehear its decision to allow Jon Gruden's lawsuit against the league to proceed in public. It's another significant win for Gruden, who sued the league and commissioner Roger Goodell in 2021, claiming a "malicious and orchestrated campaign" was organized to destroy Gruden's career by leaking his old emails that included offensive language. The lawsuit was filed shortly after Gruden resigned as Raiders coach. ESPN's Don Van Natta Jr. was the first to report on the development. In August, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled in favor of Gruden, 5-2, that...

U.S. — The National Football League is apparently working double time to win back its conservative fanbase by planning a Super Bowl halftime show with a Spanish-speaking man in a dress. Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny has officially signed with the NFL to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in what experts are calling a desperate bid to attract conservative viewership. "Conservatives are going to love this," NFL Chairman Roger Goodell said. "They're always talking about the brave Latinx people and gender roles." Bad Bunny, who champions a new masculinity with his floral dresses, short shorts,...

You knew the NFL was gay, but THIS gay? Meet Bad Bunny… He’s performing at the Super Bowl. Woke, Anti-Ice, weirdo. The No Fans League at it again. Meet Bad Bunny… He’s performing at the Super Bowl. Woke, Anti-Ice, weirdo. The No Fans League at it again. Bad Bunny's hit songs include titles like "Yo Perreo Sola" ("I Twerk Alone"), in which he dons a dress and prothetic breasts. LGBT outlet Pink News loved it when they reported on it in 2020. He's been called a "queer icon" who likes to crossdress and makes out with his male backup dancers...

Jalen Carter’s first game of the Eagles’ new season was over before the first defensive snap. With Philadelphia trainers addressing an injury after the opening kickoff, Carter, the star defensive lineman, walked up to Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and appeared to spit on his chest. Carter received an unsportsmanlike penalty and was ejected just six seconds into the game, with Eagles chief security officer Dom “Big Dom” DiSandro escorting him off the field as the NBC broadcast reacted in shock at how the first game of the NFL season began.
