A rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" at a Baltimore Orioles home game is being debated as possibly one of the worst anthem performances of all time.

Before the Orioles hosted the New York Mets at Camden Yards on Thursday, fans were introduced to "Baltimore electronic musician Dan Deacon."

The Baltimore-based recording artist is not an unknown musician. He has over 160,000 monthly listeners on the streaming service Spotify and has had music featured in movies like "Venom."

Nevertheless, Deacon's pregame performance has audiences split over whether what they experienced was new-age art or ear-piercing noise.

'I think the Orioles have officially hit rock bottom.'

The performance initially caught fire on an Orioles fan's X page, which has now racked up over 1.5 million views.

"I think the Orioles have officially hit rock bottom," the fan wrote in a caption, with the video of Deacon's version of the song attached.

With oversize glasses and a Hawaiian shirt draped over a Baltimore Orioles T-shirt, Deacon raised his hand to the sky and delivered one of the most divisive — and electronic — anthem performances of all time.

The Orioles mascot was shown standing at attention behind Deacon before the camera panned to the mixed reactions in the crowd. Saluting police officers were juxtaposed with likely former military members saluting from their seats. Other fans, adults and children alike, are seen laughing. Some attendees appeared confused but still sang along with the anthem.

Buck Britton, the Orioles' interim third base coach, looked the most puzzled during the performance, seemingly looking around for answers as to what he was experiencing.

The internet was split; some hated Deacon's digitized anthem, while others loved its uniqueness.

"WTF is this?" one sports page on X wrote. "National anthem singer Dan Deacon labeled a 'disgrace to America' after bizarre rendition at Orioles game."

Another viewer on X wrote, "Worst national anthem in recent memory."

Oppositely, one X user said, "I wanted to hate it, but I didn't."

One of Deacon's fans chimed in on X and added, "It doesn't need to be Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey wannabes every night" singing the anthem.

"At least it's not in Spanish," another viewer wrote on X, tagging the Los Angeles Dodgers team in the post. This was likely in reference to singer Nezza singing the anthem in Spanish at Dodger Stadium in June, despite being told by Dodgers staff not to.

The artist later cried in a video posted to TikTok, where she expressed that she did not understand why it was so controversial, despite admitting the performance was in response to raids on illegal immigrants in California.

Almost exactly a year ago, singer Ingrid Andress performed at the MLB's Home Run Derby in what was deemed a horrible performance, with the singer later apologizing and admitting she was drunk.

She told fans the next day she was immediately headed to rehab.

"It only took, you know, global humiliation for me to be like, 'This is a problem,'" Andress explained.

Perhaps Deacon was the Orioles' good luck charm, though; the struggling team won both games of their doubleheader that day against the Mets, 3-1 and then 7-3.

For fans in search of national anthem performances similar to Deacon's, look no further than Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. The guitarist delivered an equally, if not more, off-brand electronic performance of the anthem at a Los Angeles Lakers home game in 2016.

Washington just inched one step closer to bringing the Redskins back

It has been five years since fans of Washington's NFL team were robbed of their beloved moniker Redskins. Now, with new ownership since 2023, the team seems closer than ever to bringing the name and famous logo back.

In 2020, the franchise announced it would bend the knee to activism and retire the Redskins name as well as their logo, which bared the likeness of Blackfeet Chief John Two Guns White Calf.

It was even reported that the team would avoid using any Native American imagery at all. Now, as the walls of wokeness crumble all around, the team is slowly creeping toward a reintroduction of the old tradition.

'We are excited to celebrate Washington's incredible history.'

Washington's NFL franchise used the embarrassing interim name of the Washington Football Team for 2020-2021, until becoming the Washington Commanders in 2022. When Josh Harris bought the team in 2023, the fire in fans to bring back the old name quickly started burning again.

For the upcoming 2025-2026 season, the Commanders took a step in that direction when they announced they would be bringing back their "Super Bowl Era" uniforms for three separate games. Celebrating their 1982, 1987, and 1991 Super Bowl wins, the team will bring back their iconic burgundy, white, and gold uniforms.

In a promotional video, the franchise showed off old footage featuring the Redskins logo, reliving the "grit" and the "glory" the fans felt in the 1980s and 1990s. Although, there was one obvious catch.

While mostly obscuring their "W" Commanders logo, the promo did make a point about embracing the future and will not feature the Redskins logo alongside their new jerseys.

The good news is that pressure, timing, and public opinion is definitely on the right side of history.

In April, the team announced plans to move back to the heart of D.C. with a new stadium. Then in early May, President Trump and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that D.C. would host the 2027 NFL Draft.

These moves coupled with the fact that the Blackfeet chief's family actually wants the team to bring back the old logo, and it certainly seems like the momentum is moving in a positive direction.

In a press release about the throwback uniforms, team president Mark Clouse even said the team was trying to find ways to connect the past to the present.

"Ever since Josh Harris and our ownership group acquired the team back in 2023, they've placed great value in finding ways to connect the past and present and honor those that made the burgundy and gold what it is today," Clouse said in a statement.

"These uniforms recognize the most successful era of our franchise — one that reflects a culture of excellence and encompasses many historical moments and special memories amongst our fanbase. Our coaches, players, and the entire organization could not be more excited to celebrate our team's legacy while creating new memories in these uniforms this season," Clouse added.

At the same time, these comments could be interpreted as the team being willing to address the past, without making it a future reality.

For instance, during a 2024 preseason press conference, owner Harris said that the old Redskins name "can't come back."

"We've been very clear, we can't, for obvious reasons, the old name can't come back," Harris explained, per sports radio station the Team 980 AM.

Noting that he wanted to "honor" the team's heritage and past, Harris said he was focusing on unity and "not things that might drive people apart."

In 2025 and beyond, though, bringing back the old name seems to be exactly what would bring fans back together. Hopefully for Redskins supporters, a new stadium, the draft, and President Trump can be big enough catalysts to make their wishes come to fruition.

Video: Golfer attacks NHL fighter, learns valuable lesson: 'You're not a tough guy!'

It's not often civilians get an up-close and personal look at a professional athlete's skills, but one golfer made sure not to pass up his opportunity when he met one on the golf course.

The Alberta Springs Golf Course in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, was at the center of controversy over the Fourth of July weekend when it produced an unexpected viral video featuring two groups of male golfers.

A man and his friend — the friend allegedly too drunk to put his ball on the golf tee — were apparently holding up another group of golfers behind them for over 20 minutes before an altercation broke out, the video shows.

'You're gonna get booted the f**k out of here!'

The second group finally had enough and told the first group to either move out of the way or simply drop back behind them so there was no delay.

"Drive the f**k up there or you're gonna get booted the f**k out of here!" one man yelled.

After the man filming suggested calling the police to remedy the situation, one of the golfers holding up the second group pleaded with him and stated that his friend was indeed going to play on.

As the second group continued to complain about the delay, the seemingly intoxicated golfer — still struggling to place his ball — exploded in rage after he was told that if he did not speed up he would be thrown in the lake. He soon found out he should have heeded that warning.

"F**king cry about it!" the man yelled back from the tee box.

Instead of simply hitting his ball, the man threw his hat to the ground and started slapping his legs while screaming, "You're a f**king pussy!"

"Let's f**king go, man!" he continued, before barreling at one of the men in the second group, who was wearing a light blue golf shirt.

As promised, the large man easily handled the golfer and tossed him into the nearby lake. Soaking wet, the man emerged from the lagoon to continue the brawl. The man in blue grabbed then him by the collar and punched him in the face several times.

"Bang! Bang!" the man in blue yelled as he punched the drenched golfer. Unfortunately, the possibly drunk man continued this cycle another two times before being thrown to the ground.

The fight was overwhelmingly one-sided, likely due in part to the fact that the man in blue turned out to be former NHL tough guy Nick Tarnasky, as noted by Barstool Sports and the Toronto Sun.

Listed at 6'2", 230 pounds, Tarnasky played five years in the NHL, averaging almost 100 penalty minutes per season. He was known as a tough player during his time with the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers, and his stats certainly back that up.

At just 40 years old, it is not hard to see why Tarnasky was easily able to handle the golfer. He played for the San Diego Gulls as recently as 2017 in the AHL, the NHL's minor league, so it has only been eight years since he laced up his skates professionally.

As it turns out, he is still in fighting shape.

Death of 9-year-old girl in Texas floods breaks hearts of Kansas City Chiefs ownership: 'I assure you God is near'

The Hunt family, the owners of the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs, confirmed that they have lost a young family member to the recent Kerr County, Texas, floods.

At least 104 people died as a result of the floods, recent reporting from ABC News showed, including 30 children in Kerr County.

One of the hardest areas hit also included a Christian girls' camp called Camp Mystic, where, as of Tuesday afternoon, five campers and one counselor were still deemed missing. The camp was wrecked by flooded waters from the Guadalupe River that also ravaged the nearby communities before dawn on Friday morning.

Lost in the fray of the disaster have been the personal stories, and the Hunt family's recent revelation is just as sad as any other.

'If your heart is broken, I assure you God is near. He is gentle with your wounds.'

Tavia Hunt, wife of Chiefs owner, Clark Hunt, confirmed the death of their 9-year-old cousin Janie Hunt in a social media post on Sunday.

According to Fox 4, Tavia Hunt explained that their cousin and several of her friends had their lives taken by the storm.

"Our hearts are broken by the devastation from the floods in Wimberley and the tragic loss of many lives — including a precious little Hunt cousin, along with several friend's little girls."

Tavia Hunt's message was even more heartbreaking as she talked about her faith.

"If your heart is broken, I assure you God is near. He is gentle with your wounds," Hunt wrote on Instagram. "And He is still worthy — even when your soul is struggling to believe it."

With her message, Hunt expressed the sentiment that even though bad things happen, trusting in God does not mean one has to be "over the pain" but rather handling it in a way that is near and dear to their heart.

She concluded, "For we do not grieve as those without hope."

The Hunt family also opened their wallets to flood victims seemingly just hours prior to losing one of their family members. According to Us Weekly, Tavia Hunt had announced a donation of hundreds of thousands of dollars to emergency services for flood relief just an hour before the post about her deceased cousin.

Noting the "devastation and loss of life" caused by the floods, Tavia said the family was donating "$500,000 to provide immediate resources for rescue, relief, and long-term recovery efforts."

Clark Hunt has been the chairman of the Chiefs since 2005 and the co-owner since 2006. The team has won three Super Bowls during his reign.

UFC and Trump agree to big, beautiful event that will change American history

The Ultimate Fighting Championship and the Trump administration have reportedly come to terms on a monumental agreement, a first of its kind.

President Trump made the announcement from behind the presidential bulletproof glass in Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday, while speaking about America's national parks. He had just announced an executive order that calls for the lowering of costs at national parks for American visitors while increasing fees for foreign tourists.

However, the president told his Iowa supporters that he had much bigger plans for perhaps the country's most historic site: the White House.

'This is what the Roman Senate would do ...'

With a "USA" hat on, the president announced that "every one of our national parks, battlefields, and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of America 250," the country's birthday in 2026.

Trump then shocked the audience when he revealed, "I even think we're going to have a UFC fight."

"We're going to have a UFC fight," Trump continued. "Think of this, on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there."

With supporters behind him laughing, unsure whether or not to take the announcement seriously, the president announced a full-fledged "championship fight" with more than 25,000 attendees on White House grounds.

"We're going to do that as part of 250 also. We're going to have some incredible events, some professional events, some amateur events, but the UFC fight's going to be a big deal," Trump announced.

Following the president's remarks, UFC greats wasted no time throwing their hats in the ring to be included in the historic event.

"Happy 4th of July, USA," former UFC champion Conor McGregor wrote on X. "Excited with President Trump announcing a UFC fight event at the White House. I would be honoured! Count me in!"

McGregor has not fought since 2021, and there has been focus on legal troubles and potential political runs in his home country of Ireland. McGregor still consistently teases a comeback, though, an endeavor that would require a significant amount of lead-up time to re-enter the drug testing pool.

Recent heavyweight champion Jon Jones is a more likely candidate, however. The on-again, off-again fighter perked up on the Fourth of July to write on his X page, "Fighting at the White House?" followed by some mischievous eyes.

Jones has fought just twice in the last two years and was recently thought to have retired, conceding his belt. As is typical of Jones, though, he claimed just 20 minutes after his post that he had re-entered the drug testing pool just to "keep everyone’s options open."

— (@)

Fans had their own concerns in reaction to the news. One replied to the announcement on X that the "security risk" for an event at the White House meant it "surely it doesn't go through."

While some thought the event might be "one for the history books," others decided such a display indicates a failing empire.

"This is what the Roman Senate would do to distract the plebs from revolting against unfair taxation," an X user said in reaction to ESPN's report.

NBC News confirmed through a UFC spokesperson last week that the event is indeed in the works, and the president implied that an official UFC Octagon and setup will be built at the White House.

"We're going to build a little. ... We're not; Dana's going to do it," Trump joked about UFC President Dana White.

Historically speaking, this would not technically be the first sporting event to take place on White House grounds, a fact that comes with a huge asterisk. The Tee Ball on the South Lawn games under President George W. Bush predate any possible UFC card, although both events are likely to have served burgers and hot dogs.

Diddy: Fraudulent prosecution or evader of justice?

A jury found Sean “Diddy” Combs guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but the rap mogul was acquitted of the most serious charges in his federal criminal trial.

While Combs still faces up to 20 years in prison for the two counts on which he’s been convicted, America is divided on whether or not justice has been served.

“I believe that he’s the victim. As crazy as that sounds, I believe that Diddy is the victim,” Anton Daniels tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Fearless.”

“And this trial has basically proven that he is. Anybody that followed it from the time that they first announced the charges all the way up until, you know, they read the verdict, you can tell that this was basically an opportunity for the federal government to try to get a win,” Daniels continues.

“And not only did they try to get a win, they got a win on top of the fact that he had to pay Cassie, on top of the fact that she was also the Bonnie to his Clyde,” he argues, adding, “And people automatically jumped on it, and they automatically tried to convict him also in the court of public opinion.”

Daniels also doesn’t believe Diddy received a fair trial, as “all the jurors had already been familiar with every piece of evidence that they were trying to present against him.”

“They were already painting him as a negative person before he ever even set foot inside of the court. They didn’t give him bail. They let him sit in jail, and then they also tried to leverage Cassie in order to get a bunch of other people to file lawsuits,” he explains, adding, “Last I checked, being extra freaky wasn’t a crime.”

Delano Squires disagrees, saying he wouldn’t call Diddy a “victim.”

“His behavior is part of the reason he ended up in this particular situation,” Squires argues. “He was hiring men to sleep with women that he was involved with.”

“I get Anton’s point in terms of him being overcharged and the perception that he was railroaded, but Diddy’s behavior is what put him in this particular situation,” he adds.

Caitlin Clark and Morgan Wallen represent American cultural shift, death of hip-hop era

There’s a major cultural shift going on right now in America, and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” believes WNBA star Caitlin Clark and country music star Morgan Wallen are leading the way.

“Caitlin Clark and Morgan Wallen are leading a cultural shift that is piggybacking and taking advantage of a cultural fatigue that everyone is tired of,” Whitlock says.

“What is driving Caitlin Clark’s popularity and her dominance of the sports world is we finally have someone who’s a girl next door. Who shows up at your house or you take her home to meet your mom or your dad or both, and they’re like, ‘Oh man, that looks like a nice girl,’” he continues.

“And there’s an opportunity for a male athlete to hop into that boy-next-door role,” he adds, noting that Patrick Mahomes could be a good candidate as he’s been leaning into his faith and detaching himself from Black Lives Matter.

“All this caping up for George Floyd and Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin. People have had it,” Whitlock says.

Mahomes also joined Travis Kelce and Morgan Wallen for a pre-concert walk out at one of Wallen’s shows — who most recently had Brett Favre walk out with him. So not only is country music making a comeback, but it's venturing into the world of sports with the help of Morgan Wallen.

This is all while hip-hop, Whitlock says, is dying in front of our eyes.

“Obviously, Morgan Wallen likes to drink, and he’s a party boy, and you know, he’s not a typical music star. But if you listen to his music, if you go to his concerts, you go to his shows, if you just look at his appearance, he looks like the kind of guy that would show up at your parents' house, and your parents would be like, ‘Oh, I can deal with this,’” he explains.

“Listen to his music. It’s not profane. It’s not degenerate. It’s fun. It’s rebellious. It’s kind of boy next door. It’s the kind of music that people of my generation used to listen to,” he continues.

Unlike the rap that has famously been associated with the NFL and NBA, country music has “soul in it.”

“When I listen to Riley Green, I can hear the soul. When I listen to Chris Stapleton, I can hear the soul. This is like the music I grew up with, this country music,” Whitlock says.

“There’s a longing for a culture that doesn’t totally violate people’s biblical worldview and traditional values, and Caitlin Clark and Morgan Wallen are benefiting from that,” he adds.

'Anti-white': Dem NYC mayoral candidate plans to shift tax burden to 'whiter neighborhoods'

Muslim socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani buried a nugget of anti-white sentiment in a part of his campaign platform that calls to fix the city’s property tax system.

“Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods,” the proposal reads.

When he was questioned on the addition of “white” to the proposal, Mamdani doubled down.

“That is just a description of what we see right now. It’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being undertaxed versus overtaxed,” Mamdani told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”

“We’ve seen time and again that this is a property tax system that is inequitable. It’s one that actually Eric Adams ran on, saying that he would change in the first 100 days,” he continued, adding that he’s “just naming things as they are” and wants to create “an equal playing field.”

“Could a white candidate for mayor or any political office say, ‘Hey, we’re going to police and target high crime black neighborhoods’? Could we say that on national TV without the internet and world melting?” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock asks Auron MacIntyre on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”

“Of course not,” MacIntyre responds, adding, “But it’s exactly right. We know that there’s one way that you can talk about white people that you just can’t talk about any other race in America.”

“He’s just vocalizing something that’s been sitting in our universities, and increasingly our corporations, for a very long time. This is the ideology that has more or less ruled our elite culture for many generations at this point,” he continues, “And so now, these people are just kind of saying it out loud.”

“This builds up resentment. It builds up a lot of racial animus,” he adds.

New Olympic president strikes huge blow to transgender athletes ahead of 2028 games in LA

The new president of the International Olympic Committee has held her seat for just one week and is already making monumental moves.

As the head of the IOC, Kirsty Coventry wields tremendous power not only in the business world but in setting the tone worldwide for standards in sports.

'We have to protect the female category, first and foremost.'

After assuming office on June 23, the former Zimbabwean swimmer took questions in a nearly hour-long press conference, where she made one thing clear: The Olympic Committee is moving away from placating transgender athletes.

About halfway through the event, Coventry, Africa's most decorated Olympian, answered questions about how female events will look at the Olympics moving forward.

The 2024 Paris games were cloaked in shame after male Algerian athlete Imane Khelif competed and won gold in women's boxing, causing massive public outrage. Khelif has been proven to be a man four times over but was still allowed to compete after the IOC ended gender testing in 1999, punting the responsibility to individual sports bodies.

That status quo may be changing.

"On the protection of the female category, it was very clear from the members that we have to protect the female category, first and foremost," Coventry told a journalist. "We have to do that to ensure fairness. But we need to do that with a scientific approach and with the inclusion of the international federations who have already done a lot of work in this area."

The new IOC president said that she will quickly work to "bring in the experts" and international federations to find "cohesion on this specific topic."

Coventry was faced with a similar question later on in the presser, with a reporter asking if cheek swabbing to determine sex was the likely scenario in order to protect women's sports.

The executive said the IOC would look at the work that has been done by organizations like World Athletics and come up with an answer through "scientific approaches."

The same reporter then asked specifically about how much Khelif's case had affected the decision and if it had a heavy influence on Olympic Committee members.

Coventry said that the Olympic Committee "unanimously" felt it was time to find a consensus on how to protect women's sports. She then noted that she had heard from many members about how the issue has played out in their own countries. This included members taking issue not only from a competitive standpoint but also a cultural one, Coventry explained.

(Photo by Richard Pelham/Getty Images)

"I'm very encouraged to see Coventry stating that she will protect the female category," Jennifer Sey, a former U.S. national gymnastics champion, told Blaze News. "I'd only add that there really is no nuance. And there can be no compromise on this. It's very simple. You must [have] XX [chromosomes] to compete in the women's category. Sex testing — one time! — will verify this."

While the new IOC president did fall short of plainly stating men should not be in women's sports, if any policy similar to that of other athletic institutions is implemented, it should stop athletes like Khelif from competing against women.

Still, with Khelif daring President Trump in March to stop him from competing at the 2028 games in Los Angeles and attempting to compete against women as recently as May, the boxer may end up going down swinging, along with many other hostile male athletes.

'Sorry about that': WNBA announcer apologizes for sounding too pro-Trump

The WNBA continued its efforts to push away conservative fans last week, rejecting a simple statement over the idea that it could be misconstrued as conservative.

Between the constant dragging of star Caitlin Clark and the relentless woke activism that included a George Floyd tribute this May, the league not only basks in liberalism, but it outright rejects patriotism at the same time.

This trend continued when WNBA commentator Rebecca Lobo uttered a phrase last weekend that could be considered supportive of the president or even too conservative for the league.

Lobo was doing play-by-play alongside Pam Ward for a game between the Las Vegas Aces and the Indiana Fever on Sunday, a huge game for women's basketball fans. As is often the case with the WNBA, the final score was not the most talked about aspect of the game, but rather it was antics on the part of the announcers.

While discussing a foul call, Lobo was at odds with the referees' decision as Ward jokingly pointed out the disagreement.

'Differences of opinion are perfectly fine.'

Fans posted a recording of the exchange in which Ward asked Lobo, "So they disagree with you?"

Lobo responded, "They do, and I disagree with them, and that’s fine. That’s what makes America great, right, Pam Ward?"

Lobo's seemingly harmless statement sucked the gravity away from the broadcast table, resulting in dead silence over the microphones for about eight seconds.

"I should rephrase that," Lobo eventually said, breaking the silence. Her apology would come soon after.

Lobo's suggestion of correcting herself was met with a whispered "yes" from Ward, who then offered a different version of the remark.

"Differences of opinion are perfectly fine," Ward asserted.

Lobo of course gave in and apologized.

"Yes, that's a better way to say it. Sorry about that," she conceded.

Fans responded to the footage with confusion, with many saying Lobo should have stood her ground.

"No reason to take back. [She] said the fact we disagree makes America great!" a Caitlin Clark fan wrote on X.

A Florida fan replied to the X post, saying, "So they hate America? Or like America? They literally live in the land of conundrum."

Governing bodies in sports all exert control over their athletes, former gymnast Jennifer Sey told Blaze News.

The athlete explained that in her sport, "for decades you couldn't talk about abusive coaches. And I guess in the WNBA you can't say anything that might be construed as conservative."

Sey added, "There's no way all the players agree and have the same views, but the WNBA makes it clear what the organization's politics are, and they must send a clear message to the players to fall in line or else."

The national champion called it "patently ridiculous" to interpret Lobo's comments as political simply because Donald Trump is the president.
