Men, I will pay one of you $250k to play in the WNBA if you are able to make a team. I will also pay any of you able to qualify for one of the women’s tennis majors $250k and I will pay you $250k if you can make the US women’s soccer team. Get to work. Challenge issued. For all high school age males: if you are able to qualify as a girl’s athlete and win a state women’s high school title, I will pay $10k per state title, but you must compete in @outkick gear. The best women...

According to political analyst Nate Silver, "the problem Democrats are having attracting male voters is that they are too mentally healthy to vote for Democrats. The Cooperative Election Study survey showed that 40% of Generation Z males consider their mental health to be "very good" or "excellent." In contrast, only 20% of Generation Z females say theirs is "very good" or "excellent." The same survey found that 51% of conservatives say their mental health is excellent. Only 20% of liberals say the same. When asked whether they have "poor mental health" 45% of liberals said yes. Only 19% of conservatives...

One of the biggest stories in Washington over the next four years is whether Democrats can wrest back support among young men before the 2028 election. But to do that, the party must first understand why young male voters have flocked so heavily to the opposition party. American statistician Nate Silver dove into that question on Tuesday, finding that the mental health gap between men and women could be the crux of the divide. Citing a Cooperative Election Study, Silver reported that around 40% of Gen Z males consider their mental health "very good" or "excellent." By comparison, only 20%...

The WNBA continues to deny OutKick a credential to cover Atlanta Dream games. The team and league claim they can't accommodate our requests due to "very limited space." We appreciate the emphasis on "very." Still, no one actually believes the WNBA can't find the "space" for us to cover a regular-season game involving the Dream and Connecticut Sun. WNBA games in June are hardly the Super Bowl, where reporters from all across the country clamor for access. In fact, the Sun granted several media credentials to OutKick last year, including a playoff game featuring the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark....

These TV networks should have learned by now: You don't edit stuff out of sports broadcasts because you send a message that beclowns you. But CBS apparently hasn't learned. On Sunday, in the Las Vegas Raiders game at the Miami Dolphins, tight end Brock Bowers scored on a 23 yard touchdown catch. Raiders Celebrate TD And Trump Dance And he finished it off with a Trump Dance. Not super huge news. The entire football playing world seems to be doing the Trump Dance now. The coolest in the NFL may be the San Francisco 49ers. White guys are doing it....

The headliner of a heavy metal music festival in Florida — and seven other bands — dropped out of the show to protest that acquitted Kenosha killer Kyle Rittenhouse would be on the bill as a “special guest,” according to reports. Rockers Evergreen Terrace pulled out of Shell Shock II in Orlando, saying it refuses “to align with an event promoting murderers” — prompting the festival’s founder to slam them as woke phonies. SNIP Seven other bands including Southpaw, Let Me Bleed and American Hollow followed suit and quit the festival, saying they didn’t want to get political, according to...

With an extremely contentious 2024 United States Presidential Election nearly upon us, it's not just the candidates involved who are facing increased security and safety threats. OutKick founder Clay Travis received a handwritten letter in the mail threatening his life. After former president Donald Trump – the current Republican nominee for president – was the victim of an assassination attempt, tensions reached a boiling point. While some left-wing media outlets believe that Kamala Harris – the presumed Democratic nominee – is the one at real risk, it seems like people on the right side of the aisle are more vulnerable...

As my colleague Nick Arama reported on Saturday morning, left-wing, virtue-signaling, multimillionaire actress Alyssa Milano had the intestinal fortitude on Thursday to ask her fans to help pay for her son's traveling baseball team's trip to Cooperstown, N.Y., home of Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame. My son’s baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip. Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You can read more about the team and make a donation here:Why all the gall— Wait. We're talking about Alyssa Milano. Never mind.My son’s baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip. Any amount would...

Clay Travis on Monday shared the results of a weekend 'free beer' experiment, offering people free cans from a cooler at a concert in Nashville and concluding that people will actively avoid Bud Light. The OutKick founder posted on Twitter a video of a cooler filled with three different kinds of beer. He said he allowed passers by to 'pick which beer you want'. A later video showed the cooler again, now almost exclusively filled with Bud Light cans. Travis said people had avoided Bud Light all night and reflected that a 'big issue going forward for Bud Light is...

With an eye on the 2024 election, young conservative influencers are trying to get a handle on how to reach out to their increasingly alienated generation and pull them back to the Republican Party. Speaking with Newsweek's Katherine Fung, conservative commentator and OutKick podcaster Tomi Lahren, who built her reputation as a staunch defender of Donald Trump, said she is worried about 2024 -- particularly following reports that Joe Biden's digital strategy team is working hand in hand with liberal influencers to reach out to more young voters. "If we want to win [the 2024 election], we're going to have...

OutKick founder Clay Travis predicted how billionaire Elon Musk's deal to buy Twitter will play out Friday on "Jesse Watters Primetime." CLAY TRAVIS: What's going to end up happening — I'm looking right now, the stock price is down around $2 in the after-hours trading, which suggests what I think is the most likely outcome here. Which is Elon Musk and Twitter are going to engage in a protracted legal battle before they end up coming to an agreement on — if I were predicting a purchase price — somewhere less than $44 billion. Musk can argue that he's getting...

Six months ago LeBron James reported racist graffiti had been spraypainted on the gate of his $21 million dollar Los Angeles mansion. The sports media immediately fell all over themselves to pronounce LeBron a heroic victim and cast the blame upon a presumed racist white person. At Outkick we took some heat from the usual media circles for suggesting we wait to see who was responsible for the graffiti before we utilized this allegation to provide further evidence that our world view was correct. Here was my article from immediately after the alleged crime occurred. Well, in the wake of...

"I know I'll be ordering mine," the Governor tweeted. Interested in dressing like Ron DeSantis? You don’t have to buy a business suit or a state of Florida crisis windbreaker when a simple t-shirt will do. The first-term Republican Governor endorsed a new t-shirt from the conservative sports talk show Outkick on Twitter Friday. But it’s not just any tee: This shirt offers caustic commentary on a critical “60 Minutes“ story about DeSantis’ vaccine distribution efforts. The story suggested linkage between a sizable Publix donation to DeSantis’ political committee and the store being used to roll out vaccines, a relationship...

We are finally in the home stretch of the presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and we are going to be taking a look at how the gambling odds adjust into the evening Joe Biden: 17/10 Donald Trump: 3/10 This means that President Trump has gone from being a 2-1 underdog as of 5:45 pm ET to being a prohibitive favorite.

Jemele Hill illogically tweeted all Trump voters are racist. It turns out, her mom voted for Trump. My latest @Outkick explores Hill's quest to install fear into every American who doesn't think exactly like her.
