There's a new Facebook group looking to start a small movement in Los Angeles to get a gay sports bar opened. From the group: This is a group for anyone and everyone who would love to have a Gay, Lesbian and Open Minded Sports bar in Los Angeles. A place where you can cheer on […]

Is it just me or has the men’s NCAA basketball tournament been a big snoozer this year? There are no truly memorable games or moments (Gonzaga’s buzzer-beater was cool, but nowhere near a Tivo moment), the seeds have held up (which means no Cinderella) and there have been too many blowouts. If it was a […]

Andrea Vasa, 30, plays for a lower-level team in Italian pro soccer. He also has an unusual living arrangement — he is living in a luxury apartment in Milan that also doubles as a boutique for German fashion designer Dirk Bikkembergs. As the London Guardian wrote: Customers can barge in on him anytime the store […]

Note: We have added a full-length video of the segment after the jump. "What Would You Do?", ABC's show about real-life ethical dilemmas, features an affectionate gay couple in a New Jersey sports bar and the reactions of patrons. The show, which airs Wednesday, at 10 p.m. EDT, is fairly affirming in the reactions of […]

Minor league teams are always looking for gimmics to draw in fans. So when the AHL’s Lake Erie Monsters decided to play one of their games as a benefit for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, it must have been met with box office cheers. And even better, the home team would wear pink […]

The battle between the haves and the have-nots has reached a fever pitch in the buildup to the NCAA Division I Men’s Championship Swim Meet, which opens Thursday in College Station, Texas. Those teams with it face far better odds of winning and setting new records than those without it. Practice? Supplements? Training? Luck? Nah, […]

The biggest upset of the first round of the NCAA college basketball tournament has to be Ball State toppling Tennessee. In the women’s tournament. The Lady Volunteers are the two-time defending champs and were 42-0 in the first two rounds of the tournament before being routed by the Cardinals, 71-55. While the Volunteers had lost […]

Never one to pass by a Matthew Mitcham story without stopping, I caught a new interview the Olympic swimming stud has with a gay media outlet in which he talks about coming out, a lack of endorsements and — this is fresh material — his role as Ambassador for Men’s Health in Australia. "Obviously my […]

There are few filmmakers I love more than Clint Eastwood. So I was excited to see some shots from his next film, The Human Factor, about South Africa’s run to the Rugby World Cup in 1995 that helped bring some unity to the country post-apartheid. The movie stars Matt Damon who, as you can see, […]

“Weak” Pac-10? As there is every year, lots of talk centered on how “weak” the Pac-10 was this year, and how they didn’t deserve six spots. Even President Obama got in on the mix, saying how weak the conference was, specifically calling out Arizona and UCLA (they both won), and axing all of them before […]

Paul Donahoe lost, 2-1, in the final. Paul Donahoe, the Edinboro University wrestler we have been following this year, lost in the final of the 125-pound class of the NCAA's wrestling championships, 2-1 in triple overtime, to Troy Nickerson of Cornell in St. Louis. It was Donahoe's first loss this season. The winning point was […]

The Huskies are heavy favorites to win the women's basketball title, but there are some teams that can surprise. By Frank JakkaOutsports.com In today’s economy, there’s no sure thing or safe bet. In women’s college basketball, there may very well be one – the University of Connecticut. The Huskies enter the tournament undefeated at 33-0 […]

Sounders FC, the new soccer team from Seattle is the third team to share the Sounders name in the history of the city. The current team is now part of Major League Soccer.

On Monday evening I was watching Comcast Sportsnet when the studio host announced that some tickets to the NCAA Men’s Basketball 1st and 2nd round games at the Wachovia Center had just been made available. Now, I’m not a major basketball fan and am by no means an expert, but seeing the tournament unfold year […]
