The UFC and Dana White are putting people in danger—directly and indirectly

Jeff BottariIt's a sad reality of life that one of the strongest initial reactions to the coronavirus spreading on U.S. soil among people who are not scientists or anything remotely related, was it that was somehow not legitimate. As a person whose gut reaction is to expect everything to collapse into chaos even when there's not a global pandemic, I found this hard to understand, but it was all too common. Some went as far as saying it was a hoax, or designed to damage the president's reputation, but by and large the people on the “no big deal” side of the spectrum just believed that the government or the media or the weak nanny state libs were making a mountain out of a molehill.
I ran into this over and over again among the spectators at the Players Championship on Thursday, on the last day before the tournament was shut down. It was as though they couldn't conceive of a potentially deadly virus affecting them, even though many of them were old, and all had surely..

This unearthed footage of Paul Pierce at the McDonald’s All-American Dunk Contest is tough to watch

Listen, we're not here to slander Paul Pierce. The man—nay, THE TRUTH—may not be a once-in-a-generation NBA talent, but he was one of his generation's best, widely know for being one of the least athletic-looking athletic dudes in Association history.

Sorry Paul, we hate to do this to ya.

Start your week right with this play by play announcer giving commentary on everyday activities

As we have seen over the last few weeks, it's impossible to fully take sports away from athletes. Even if our superstars can't play their respective sports at the moment, they're using that energy for other athletic endeavors. Lionel Messi is juggling toilet paper, Brooks Koepka is learning how to win a major with the opposite hand and OJ Simpson is still out there hitting the links.

The people we haven't given enough time to are the announcers. What does an individual do when one's livelihood, hobby and world is snatched away? In freelance rugby commentator Nick Heath's case, you don't stop play-by-playing. Nick may not have rugby at the moment, but he does have all of life to break down instead.

As you can see and hear, Heath has taken his calling outside of the stadium and into the re..
