What is the best website for covering, for the most part, just the action on the court, field, etc.? I'm tired of going to espn.com, si.com, etc and seeing a lot of the top headlines about stuff that have nothing to do with sports themselves. I realize all sites will have opinions, slants, etc but wondering which sites that may fly under the radar keep it to a minimum. Thanks for the help.

The most neutral straight forward sites are going to be nfl.com, mlb.com,etc.

Sadly most every sports site now is highly politicized and opinion based, that's what gets clicks.

Foxsports.com is a little more tame than espn and such, but it still has some opinion

I agree with this, especially NFL.com. NFL Media has started to step it's game up between the Network and all of the extra digital content that is available. It is solid coverage that rarely has any of the political BS the OP is talking about

No matter what site you go 2, ur going to get the Liberal crap shoved down your throat. They are the majority of the media, in all fields, so it's inevitable.

Just think of the Liberal media as the Onion part2

Marveling at how big a puss the OP must be? He can't even take topic headlines.

Wanting to read about sports and not have to sift through horseshite sounds reasonable to me. So many keyboard badasses on this site.

Have you ever consistently read Whitlock? I would say no by your response.

What??? Your not arguing that Whitlock doesn't discuss race/politics? He literally rose to fame discussing the nappy head hoes saga. His biggest hot take so far this year was about the liberal media building up Ronda Rousey. He's just on the other side of the fence so people who find ESPN's political takes so awful find his more palpable.
Hell he was making his own black culture/politics/sports website for ESPN until he got fired.

He got fired because he wasn't controversial enough

Whitlock, since his days in KC, has told it like it is. He doesn't let race politics or biases play into his writing, which many do not like. You can find people all over offended by him. To me that's the sign of a great editorialist.

He was hired at ESPN to make a "Black Grantland". He didn't always take it as race only, that's why he was fired.
He takes shots at everyone, no matter your status or political beliefs.

6048sports is based on a no-politics philosophy. They focus on the 60 minutes on the football field and the 48 minutes on the basketball court. Their web address is 6048sports.com.

I agree, those sites you mention tend to stay with sports and way from the social issues and that is honestly what I want.

Yep, folks will link articles from social takes they disagree with all the time so others can shite all over them on sites like ours and others. It works.
