The documentary Leaving Neverland describes Michael Jackson’s alleged sexual abuse of two boys at the height of the pop icon’s superstardom. It should be a lesson to all parents who use their children to pursue Hollywood dreams.
It’s a travesty that Colin Kaepernick turned to an all-white legal team to fight his grievance case against the NFL and the 32 team owners. Over the weekend, TMZ published a photo of the controversial quarterback wearing a massive grin and a Malcolm X T-shirt after cutting a deal…
It’s time to admit it. Donald Trump will win again in 2020. The only way the 45th president doesn’t get reelected is if he is removed from office. That’s unlikely because Republicans still control the U.S. Senate and there are not enough votes to convict Trump. It doesn’t…
For too many years, coaches at Miami-Dade Public Schools have put in long hours working for peanuts. In many instances, the small amount they earn vanishes when they purchase food and clothing for their athletes. Sometimes they even cover light bills and copayments for doctor visits. This week the school…
Kamala Harris will have trouble persuading black voters to make her president in 2020. First, the U.S. senator from California must explain why Donald Trump has a better prison-reform record than she had as the Golden State’s attorney general. Then she’ll have to overcome the perception she’ll do anything to…
The Democratic Party can’t figure out black voters. The Dems’ messaging isn’t resonating in the hood because the party speaks to only a small segment of the African-American population that lives high above the poverty line. The majority, who still live in inner-city neighborhoods, don’t buy into many policies the Democratic Party is selling.
Miami, the football mecca of the United States, is now one of the most progressive cities in professional and collegiate sports. In the past month, the Miami Dolphins and the Miami Hurricanes have made minority hires that break down the good old boys’ network.
The right man for the job was Cristobal, who has proven he can coach a top-five program and is loved by the football community.
Black people have been souring on the Clintons and the Democrats since Bill left office in 2000.
Back in the ’90s, Snoop Dogg and I didn’t like each other much. In fact, we had our own East Coast versus West Coast rivalry. Snoop and Dr. Dre dissed me on the track Fuck wit Dre Day, and I responded with a song called, Cowards in Compton Get Sprayed…
For the past seven years, Miami Carol City, Miami Central, Miami Norland, and Miami Northwestern High School football programs have been taking each other out to clear a path to the District 6A state championship. Central began this remarkable run by claiming the state title for three straight years, from…
These are tough days for the University of Miami football program. After beginning the season ranked in the top ten and supposedly ready to compete again for the national title, the Hurricanes ended with a disappointing 7-5 record that included the third four-game losing streak of head coach Mark Richt’s tenure…
As part of the GOP’s tax overhaul plan, President Donald Trump and Republicans snuck in a measure that will accelerate the gentrification of poor African-American and Hispanic neighborhoods. In recent months, governors across the nation have been designating so-called Opportunity Zones in their states. Gov. Rick Scott named 427 communities…
The recount in Florida’s gubernatorial race, which is expected to end today, gave Andrew Gillum a final Hail Mary after he narrowly lost the November 6 election to Ron DeSantis. But the Tallahassee mayor would have won decisively if he had done more to connect with African-American voters.
The race for Florida governor is the most heated in the history of Sunshine State politics. Why? When the black man runs against a white man, all hell breaks loose. It shouldn’t be that way. Voters should be color blind when it comes to electing the best person for the…
Donald Trump is on a mission to gaslight the United States into a civil war. He has created a climate where racist white nationalists feel comfortable attacking law-abiding citizens. Heck, he recently admitted he is a nationalist. He’s not hiding it anymore.
Derek Jeter is erasing the memory of Jeffrey Loria by being an even worse owner. Instead of building a team fans will pay to see, the Miami Marlins CEO has been wasting time getting rid of the $2.5 million home-run sculpture inside Marlins Park and leaking images of possible new…
Kanye West’s meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office this past Thursday only made me feel sorry for the rapper. He sounded like he needs psychiatric help. During a rambling, ten-minute speech, West said that he could relate to Trump’s “male energy” and that the president is ”on a hero’s journey right now, and he might not have expected to have a crazy motherfucker like Kanye West.”
Get ready, America. We are about to have two sex offenders sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court. The FBI could uncover that Brett Kavanaugh tried to force his tongue down Ivanka Trump’s throat in the ’90s, but Republican senators would still vote to confirm him Friday. Kavanaugh will sit alongside Clarence Thomas, who during his 1991 confirmation hearings was accused by Anita Hill of sexually harassing her.
It’s time to start calling the Miami Dolphins the No-Name Dolphins again. The last time the team earned that nickname, the Fins won their first Super Bowl and made history as the only franchise to go undefeated. Now, 46 years later, coach Adam Gase is poised to take another team with no superstars on an unlikely championship run.
I’ve had many epic accomplishments in my entertainment career, but the most important project of my life will debut later this week. For months, a favorable buzz has been building for Warriors of Liberty City, the six-episode Starz docuseries that follows the lives of everyone involved in the youth sports program that the late Sam Johnson and I founded 28 years ago.
Miami Hurricanes fans and sports pundits are still walking around in a daze following the team’s embarrassing loss to the Louisiana State Tigers over Labor Day weekend. They bought into the hype that Miami deserved a Top 10 ranking while ignoring the brutal reality: The same problems the Canes had during the three-game losing streak to end last season were exposed again by LSU.
