Of the 32 regular-season games MVSU will play this season, only 9 are at home. The Delta Devils’ first 16 games are all on the road, and they’re gonna lose their first 14. I explain how they represent the inequalities in college sports. @contrariannews.org contrariannews.org/p/starting-wit…

This season, Miss. Valley State’s Men’s Basketball team will play its first 16 games on the road. They’re all but guaranteed to lose their first 14 games against power teams in exchange for checks that will help fund their athletic dept. I wrote about it. @contrariannews.org (Link⛓️💥Below⬇️)

The latest news in the pic on the left, is why I posed the question in my column on the right — last week. newsone.com/6873632/imag...
OPINION: As polarizing as the Cornell gang rape case is, consider what the coverage would be like if it involved Morehouse, Spelman, or Howard. #NewsOne | Read More: https://newsone.com/6873632/imagine-cornell-rape-case-occurred-hbcu/
Stephen A. said something dumb — again. This time it was about mental health. My column from last fall was on his irresponsibleness with politics. This moment proves he’s reckless with most matters of substance. I’m never wrong. I’m just always early. www.contrariannews.org/p/stephen-a-...

In my latest for @newsoneofficial.bsky.social: I wrote about the #Cornell7, and instead of it taking place at an Ivy League, what would it look like if a national story concerning rape allegations from fraternity members took place on an HBCU campus in Atlanta or D.C.? (Link⛓️💥Below⬇️)

Stevie Wonder is NOT from Detroit. He is from Saginaw — just like Serena Williams & Kenyon Martin. Thank you for attending my TEDTalk. #SagNasty
Deion Sanders has 18 wins and 24 losses at Colorado. He had 27 wins and 6 losses at JSU. He’s 0-3 in bowl games. His overall coaching record in college is 45 wins and 30 losses. His winning percentage is 60. By the math, he’s a habitual 7-5 coach. The numbers don’t lie.
ICYMI From This Week “Raised fists stripped Tommie Smith and John Carlos of their Olympic medals. Kneeling got Colin Kaepernick blackballed. Valuing life keeps getting Azeez Al-Shaair fined.” newsone.com/6873020/azee...
Season’s over. Fire the whole staff — besides the Defensive Coordinator & Running Backs coach. Start Tommy Carr. Welp, we suck. HAIL! #GoBlue 〽️
I discuss the Azeez Al-Shaair situation in the #NFL, and why messages on an eye black shouldn’t be over the line for a league that supposedly “chooses love.” @newsoneofficial.bsky.social newsone.com/6873020/azee...

“Nowadays, this is what ‘buck-breaking’ looks like.” I wrote about how #Kaepernick’s press tour highlights how the #NFL broke athletes’ spirits when it comes to using their voices. It’s sad when names on Azeez Al-Shaair’s eye blacks feel “revolutionary.” @newsoneofficial.bsky.social (Link🔗Below⬇️)
“Since Kaepernick took a knee, and against the backdrop of his recent interviews highlighting how the space for athletes to use their voices has diminished, sports have deteriorated to the point where eye blacks have become as “revolutionary” as wearing Black berets. “It’s sad.”
OPINION: Amid Kaepernick’s press tour, the Houston Texans linebacker embodies the NFL’s stagnation and the regression of athletes' activism https://newsone.com/6873020/azeez-al-shaair-eye-blacks-protest/ ✍🏾 Carron J. Phillips

This fall, my Saturdays and Sundays have been filled with countless turnovers from the starting QBs of the teams I cheer for. Dear Bryce Underwood & Drake Maye, I’m not having fun.
ICYMI from this week Part 1
OPINION: Comments from Colorado Buffalos Coach Deion Sanders, NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson and others exemplify the importance of ensuring the messenger and the message make sense. https://newsone.com/6872359/protect-college-sports-act-loudest-voices-wrong/ ✍🏾 Carron J. Phillips

From Monday….
I explain why the boycott between the media and Trump’s White House was long overdue. This is a good first step in the name of journalistic unity. But, where was all this energy when Black journalists — especially Black women — were being disrespected? newsone.com/6872212/news...
We deserved to lose that game. Continuous dumb penalties. Left too many points on the field. Maybe NOW they’ll learn. HAIL! #GoBlue 〽️
