This post may sound like it belongs on Turtle Boy Sports (which is an awesome read, by the way…), but what I saw on my television this morning literally made me spew coffee across my living room.

Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: Can You Imagine What Would Happen If Tony Stewart Had Killed A Black Teenager?

At first glance, the title of this piece seems ludicrous, but the events of this past week in upstate New York and suburban St. Louis share one overarching theme. In both cases, there is a world full of people who not only want me to jump to conclusions based on what they want to believe,… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: Can You Imagine What Would Happen If Tony Stewart Had Killed A Black Teenager?

Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: The Indianapolis Colts Now Have Sensitivity Training Classes For Fans

Thanks to the Indianapolis Colts, we have yet another solid gold example of the further hypocritical pussification of America. The following sentence gives us the “pussification” part. The Colts pre-season starts this weekend. There are some new security policies in place but one thing remains the same. Behaving badly at Lucas Oil Stadium can get you booted and banned… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: The Indianapolis Colts Now Have Sensitivity Training Classes For Fans

Signs We Are Near the End Of Civilization: They Are Teaching Your Kids To Masturbate with a Tetherball Pole

I’ll admit, it is really only the mention of tetherball that provides even the loosest tie to the world of sports, but if there were ever a sign that we are hurtling toward the apocalypse, this HAS to be it. Let’s be honest. The American approach to sex education has throughout history has been incredibly… Read More Signs We Are Near the End Of Civilization: They Are Teaching Your Kids To Masturbate with a Tetherball Pole

Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: There’s A Horse Rapist Out There

Yeah, you read that headline right. There’s a breeder making accusations that somebody is raping their horses. Before you read any further, ask yourself a question. When you read a story like this, isn’t the first thing that pops into your head something like “WTF? Where in the hell would something like this happen.” Then… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: There’s A Horse Rapist Out There

Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: Pissing Somebody Off Has A Whole New Meaning

If you want to get a long and pointless discussion started, just bring up the subject of internet bullying. One of the things that makes that argument pointless is that it ignores real bullying, and to ignore real bullying is to ignore the occasionally hilarious stories it produces, like this one from the Ventura County… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: Pissing Somebody Off Has A Whole New Meaning

Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: When Tragedy Gets Sports Used As A Pulpit For Failed Politics

Obviously, this piece is being written in the aftermath of the horrific event at Sandy Hook Elementary School.  Before I go anywhere with this, I’m going to quote fellow Sports Blog Movement member Patrick Young who really encapsulated this terrible tragedy in relevance to a sports blog as well as I think it can be… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: When Tragedy Gets Sports Used As A Pulpit For Failed Politics

Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: Sports Sponsorship Has Officially Gone Too Far

I admit I’ve been fighting this battle for decades now.  But I also know it’s a losing battle.  As the business of sport has swelled to gargantuan proportions, it has to pay  the bills somehow. I don’t watch NASCAR, so I really don’t give a shit about the fact their cars and racing suit look… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: Sports Sponsorship Has Officially Gone Too Far

Signs We Are Near The Civilization: Dodgeball Takes a Sadistic Twist

Today, we are going to learn how much pure sadism and hilarity can come from one sixteen-second video. First of all, where does one find a school that would line up 9 boys heads down and their pre-pubescent taints exposed for prime soccer-ball damage? Not one of them seems to know what is coming; otherwise… Read More Signs We Are Near The Civilization: Dodgeball Takes a Sadistic Twist

Signs We Are Near The End of Civilization: Live Broadcasting an Xbox Version of the NHL

This is why the National Hockey League is screwed. I’m a big hockey fan, and I know I’m missing the game, but I also know that if Commissioner Gary Bettman would work on settling this shit rather than worrying about the remnants of his reputation, they might actually be hockey being played. Now, if you… Read More Signs We Are Near The End of Civilization: Live Broadcasting an Xbox Version of the NHL

Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: The University of Tennessee Brings The Term “Butt-Chugging” to the Public Consciousness

First of all, we need to define “butt-chugging.” From Urban Dictionary: Butt Chugging – The act of ingesting alcohol through one’s rectum. The idea is to increase the alcohol’s effect and the speed with which one becomes intoxicated. OK, now that you know that, you likely won’t be shocked to discover the story which spawned post… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: The University of Tennessee Brings The Term “Butt-Chugging” to the Public Consciousness
