Until the promoters get out of the way and give us the fights we want to see, exhibitionism will continue to be the big draw in boxing.

Floyd Mayweather will briefly come out of retirement to fight Instagram and Youtube sensation Logan Paul on June 6 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL, marking another exhibition event in boxing. There is a debate taking place in the boxing world as to the merit of these exhibition fights and whether they are good for the sport. Some think they help boxing, while boxing purists are resistant to them, feeling as though they dilute the sport and turn it into a sideshow. If you don’t like the exhibition fights, you can blame boxing for creating this problem.

As a fan of LeBatard’s, I believe that his off-kilter brand of comedy and levity with respect to sports is needed. Couple that with his willingness to call out arbitrary sports rituals that we blindly worship, and you have what amounts to a brand of sports commentary that the world needs more of, and that ESPN will sorely miss.

Retired NBA superstar Dwayne Wade jumpstarted a national debate around parenting, family values, and acceptance when he publicly showed support for his son Zion’s decision to be identified as a woman.

We give our thoughts on Dwayne Wade’s support for his son Zion’s gender transition. More than the story itself, we also highlight our current social climate, ideological control in the media, and the overall lack of tolerance for different, reasonable points of view.
