IOC: U.S. Women’s Hockey Team Violated Rules With Patriotic Design
by Shifra on February 13, 2018The IOC might ask the women to change their masks to something “more neutral” than an image of a bald eagle and the Statue of Liberty. My suggestion: Maybe a pic of Otto Warmbier dragged off in chains by N. Korean guards. Via Washington Times. Team USA women’s hockey goalies Nicole Hensley and Alex Rigsby are playing in the 2018 Winter Olympics wearing goaltender masks with a patriotic design. It includes an American-themed shield, a bald eagle and an image of the Statue of Liberty. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) says that runs afoul of their rules.

Super Bowl Ratings Slip To 8-Year Low
by Tammy on February 5, 2018Not surprised. The NFL and the players have taken the audience (and much else) for granted. We must always remember the power of our choices, which signal what we’re willing to put up with. Via Deadline Hollywood. As emotional as NBC’s This Is Us was last night, it couldn’t lay a historical glove on the relentless drama of Super Bowl LII as the Philadelphia Eagles beat the skeptics and the New England Patriots to win their first Vince Lombardi Trophy. Scoring a 41-33 victory over odds on favorite Tom Brady and crew, the City of Brotherly Love’s NFL franchise’s win on Sunday also halted the 2017 champion Patriots from claiming a sixth Super Bowl to match the Pittsburgh Steelers for...

by Tammy on April 28, 2017And she’s right. This is a follow-up to this story: ESPN is laying off 100 employees, including some of its biggest names Via Daily Wire.

Video: Hillary Happy Chicago Cubs Are in ‘Super Bowl’
by Shifra on October 27, 2016This is almost as ridiculous as Hillary announcing, as she ran for the Senate from NY State, that she was a life-long Yankees Fan.
