Jason Whitlock: This 3-year-old soccer prodigy wasn't the problem — the adults were



When 3-year-old Nevada Pierre scored 21 goals in two soccer games, the police were called — and his parents were furious.

However, upon further investigation, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock explains that the arrival of the cops had nothing to do with the child dominating the game and everything to do with how his parents reacted.

“The parents of 3-year-old Nevada Pierre claimed their son was targeted because he was playing too well against kids older than him,” an ABC news report says.

“Nevada’s mother claims other parents had complained, wanting him taken out of the game to give other kids a chance to play, but she didn’t think that was fair."


“The parents of the 3-year-old boy that were causing a bit of a scene,” Jason Whitlock explains. “And one of the workers on the soccer field in the soccer league felt annoyed, bothered, felt like this situation could escalate, and he called the police.”

“Police came, based off of everything I’ve seen so far, behaved really appropriately. This is a typical little league dispute between parents and coaches and organizers,” he adds.

Charles Baker is a coach and a father himself, and he also believes the child’s parents are to blame.

“When I first saw this story, I thought it was some kind of AI hoax. And I kept seeing it, and I thought it’s real,” he tells Whitlock. “And ... you look at the headline and you think it’s funny, but then a sensible person would say, ‘Well, let me read and find out the why.’”

“And then the why makes sense as to why the police were called. It had nothing to do with how good the little kid was. Everybody admits he’s good. He’s great. He’s way ahead of his time here,” he continues.

“The police were called because of comments that the mother was making,” he adds.

However, Dre Baldwin believes the first people responsible for this situation “are the organizers of the league.”

“This happens in organizations all the time. When you bring a bunch of people together, if the standards are not clearly outlined and clearly communicated, then the wires get crossed,” Baldwin says.

“The organizer of the league needs to tell the parents, ‘This is the type of league this is. This is who it’s for. This is our aim. This is our goal,’” he explains.

“So the parents show up with this kid who was obviously very good at soccer. He’s dominating the game, and his parents are telling him just go dominate the game, but the league is not designed for this, not a dominate-the-game type of soccer league,” he continues.

“It’s a get-used-to-playing-soccer type of league,” he says, adding, “That's on the organizers of the league.”

English soccer teams are still kneeling to protest racism — and it's as embarrassing as ever



The English Premier League says it has "no room for racism," but some players are refusing to fall in line with the league's cult-like practices.

For the 2026-2027 season, the top soccer league in England is still pumping out diversity, equity, and inclusion messaging reminiscent of years past and seems heavily entrenched in progressive ideology.

'No, I don't go down.'

The bizarre ritual of kneeling before games persists as well, with announcers routinely citing the league's tagline that there's no room for racism in soccer.

Even though George Floyd died more than six years ago — and more than a decade has passed since Colin Kaepernick began kneeling in the NFL — the Premier League is boasting bizarre DEI benchmarks, like its investigations into "4,000+ cases of online discriminatory abuse."

"Legal action [has been] brought against abusers across three continents," the league bragged on its anti-racism page.

There have been some players who have refused to participate in the pregame kneel, however, which is still noteworthy in a league with near 100% compliance.

As reported by Dissenter, multiple black English players garnered media attention for refusing to kneel, like Leeds United player Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who began defying the standard last season.

"Dom is more or less like, 'No, I don't go down. I show my respect by standing up,'" teammate Daniel Farke explained.

Everton's Ainsley Maitland-Niles was the only player on the field who refused to kneel before a game last week.

More black players like Brazil's Rayan Rocha and New York-born Tyler Adams, both of whom play for Bournemouth, made headlines for their refusal recently, too.

Other nonconformists include Ivorian player Marc Guéhi and Morocco national team member Issa Diop, who play for Manchester City and Ipswich Town, respectively.

The league said in a statement that "players will be taking the knee before kick-off during the next two match rounds to show unity against all forms of discrimination."

"This is in line with the decision made by captains at the start of the season," the league added, per Metro.

On top of showcasing workforce diversity quotas and women in hijabs coaching soccer, the league seems so deeply rooted in DEI that it could rival the most liberal university syllabus in terms of dedication to the progressive ideology.

For example, the Brentford Bees note on their website that the team is "committed to tackling racism" while "ensuring equity, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do."

Brentford even had players Nathan Collins and Josh Dasilva visit schoolchildren for a DEI indoctrination session. The athletes spoke to children from India and Kosovo on the importance of "challenging discrimination" and to "stand together against racism."

Another event aimed at teaching children about DEI had an organizer saying it is "hugely important that we continue to educate young people" about the league's anti-racism action plan.

At this event, children got to play soccer in exchange for participating in "interactive educational workshops" that included "educating young people on the importance of acting against racism."

Jason Whitlock calls out LeBron James and the WNBA for snubbing the national anthem



From WNBA players leaving the court before the national anthem to LeBron James stretching through it — BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock sees a troubling pattern in professional basketball.

“This has been a bit of a tradition in the WNBA — teams not being on the court for the national anthem," Whitlock explains, noting that while they have a list of excuses as to why they skip it, he believes it doesn’t actually have anything to do with them.

“The predominant number of WNBA players and teams do not want to be on the court during the national anthem. That’s been going on since Colin Kaepernick, since it became a fad and a trend. I think it’s a mistake,” he says.

And LeBron James has been doing it as well.

“LeBron James has a little tradition of his own that is getting more attention at the beginning of this NBA season because Game 1, night one in Madison Square Garden, his new team, the Philadelphia 76ers, are playing at Madison Square Garden against the defending champions,” Whitlock explains.

"During the national anthem," LeBron has been “doing some sort of stretching routine, some sort of golf-swing routine, some sort of free-throw or jump-shot routine during the national anthem.”

While Whitlock notes that as an older man, LeBron likely does need more warm-up time, he also believes “there’s something bigger going on.”

“What we’re seeing from LeBron James, what we’ve seen and have seen from the WNBA, is a lack of gratitude,” he says, explaining that this points to a lack of wisdom.

“As you get wise, you understand the routine of the national anthem. And you understand the mentality of gratitude. The Bible is a story that should hammer home to people like, man, we got a lot to be grateful for. No matter what country we’re living in, we have a lot to be grateful for,” Whitlock says.

And you don’t have to agree with everything the country has done in order to be grateful for what it has given you.

“We have a lot to be grateful for,” Whitlock says, “but when you live in a secular society, people aren’t filled with gratitude.”

Rather, he says, “they’re filled with complaint.”

“And even someone like LeBron James, who was born to a single mother, who — the mother was 16 years old — born in the ghetto, born into poverty, not knowing his father, was able to rise up to be a billionaire with a wife, with three kids, live in mansions scattered all across America, all across the globe,” he explains.

And Whitlock believes they’re sending out a “smoke signal” in order to let "black people that have a complaint with America" know they’re “on their side.”

“And so,” he says, “instead of expressing gratitude of any kind during those two minutes, they got to let off a complaint.”

'Protests are not unusual': NFL insists game in Paris will be completely safe — then cancels fan event



The NFL is all systems go for the regular-season game in Paris between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints.

Despite widespread destruction in the streets of France over the past week and an expectation that there will be unrest again this weekend, the NFL said there have been "no disruptions" to speak of league operations.

'We've made all the preparations.'

However, amid the league's attempt to calm nerves in recent days, the Steelers and the NFL have canceled a fan event at a bar in the Bastille area that was scheduled for the weekend because of security concerns.

"Following recent events in the Bastille neighborhood, and after careful consideration, we felt it appropriate not to move forward with the planned Steelers House fan event in Paris," the NFL said in a message to fans, per ESPN.

"Preparations for Sunday's NFL Paris game at Stade de France continue as planned," the statement added.

NFL fan events scheduled for Friday and Saturday are still expected to be held as planned, the league told OutKick.

The cancellation comes after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell delivered a series of odd remarks in which he said that security will be "very high" at the event, but there is essentially nothing to worry about.

"We've made all the preparations. We've been in touch with the appropriate authorities," Goodell said Wednesday, according to CNN, specifically claiming he has spoken with Secretary of State Marco Rubio in recent days.

And even though Paris is just days removed from massive civil unrest, acts of vandalism, and fires set to government buildings, Goodell simply stated, "Protests are not unusual in France."

The commissioner added that he is looking forward to attending the game.

The NFL has remained steadfast in its messaging surrounding the safety of the Paris game despite simultaneously increasing security.

"Preparations continue as scheduled for NFL events and the game at Stade de France next Sunday," the NFL said, according to reporter Adam Schefter. "We continue to work closely with local authorities and partners on all operational and security matters. We are also providing the two clubs with regular updates. There's been no disruption or impact at league sites."

Schefter also reported that Saints executive Greg Bensel said he concurred with the NFL's decision to march forward with the game.

"Members of our football operations staff and internal security team have been on the ground in France for the past few days, and there has been no disruption or impact at any of our team sites," Bensel remarked.

Moreover, the NFL's executive vice president of club business, international, and league events has emphasized that league personnel and security have been on the ground for 10 days ensuring enhanced security around the event.

The executive, Peter O'Reilly, said the league was "obviously being very vigilant" in all of its planning and noted that a large soccer game between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona — two of the most popular teams in the world — had gone ahead earlier this week, at a different stadium.

The NFL has nine international games this season, its most ever, including inaugural games in Australia, Brazil, and France.

The overseas schedule has been widely criticized by analysts like former NFL coach Jon Gruden, who said the league should be growing the game in the United States first.

Radio hosts Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington said players should refuse to play in Paris.

Jay-Z chooses Jay-Z for Super Bowl LXI performance — Jason Whitlock calls it out as a ‘no whites allowed situation’



Since 2019, the NFL has partnered with Jay-Z’s company Roc Nation to curate and produce the Super Bowl halftime show, making the billionaire rapper/entrepreneur the main decision-maker on the performer each year.

According to recent articles from Puck News and Deadline, Jay-Z has chosen himself as the performer for Super Bowl LXI.

“This somewhat blows my mind, but it's right on brand for the NFL and Jay-Z,” says “Fearless” host Jason Whitlock.

Whitlock begins by listing out the Super Bowl halftime performers since Jay-Z took control in 2019:

2020 — Shakira & Jennifer Lopez

2021 — The Weeknd

2022 — Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar

2023 — Rihanna

2024 — Usher

2025 — Kendrick Lamar

2026 — Bad Bunny

“And now he's picking himself. This has really turned into a no whites allowed situation,” sighs Whitlock. “Diversity, equity, and inclusion is no part of Jay-Z's strategy or the NFL strategy as it relates to Super Bowl halftimes.”

The NFL, he says, seems to have learned nothing from the toll Turning Point USA’s alternative halftime show took on Bad Bunny’s performance last year.

“TPUSA's halftime show was a raging success that actually hurt Super Bowl ratings. Bad Bunny's ratings dipped. The Super Bowl ratings did not do what they were supposed to do. ... Doesn't seem like the NFL has learned anything,” he says.

While Jay-Z is “not the same” as Bad Bunny, who “sang in Spanish” and “made homosexual references,” Whitlock still doesn’t think he’s a good choice for what’s supposed to be a family-friendly show.

“I find Jay-Z's music inappropriate for a Super Bowl halftime. It's gutter rap music,” he says.

Jason Whitlock: Duke football player apologized for swatting trainer’s arm — so where’s her apology?



Duke’s loss to North Carolina took a back seat to a sideline confrontation that went viral. When Duke quarterback Kimari Robinson stood over injured teammate DaShawn Stone, a female staffer pushed him out of the way.

Robinson appeared to angrily swat her arm away, before apologizing later.

“Kimari Robinson, he stood over DaShawn Stone. Stone is motionless on the turf. Kimari says that Stone is like a family member to him. Two trainers are kneeled over Stone. And then a third staffer, the red-headed woman, she runs in, steps into that scene and circle, and she pushes Robinson out of the way,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says.

“He swatted her arm away. The clip then goes viral. Everybody’s got an opinion, and oh, it’s a bad look for Kimari Robinson. Robinson apologized to her that night and then again Sunday on X,” he continues.


“I want to publicly apologize to a member of our training staff for how I acted toward her during Saturday’s game. I was completely wrong, and she did not deserve that. Immediately after the game, I apologized to her personally and checked to make sure she was okay,” Robinson said in a post on X.

“The injured player on the ground, DaShawn Stone, is like family to me, and I was scared he might be seriously hurt. But being worried about him does not excuse how I treated her. I should have controlled my emotions, and I didn’t,” he continued.

“I’m truly sorry for my actions and for letting her, myself, and our program down. I have to be better than that,” he added.

“So hats off to Kimari Robinson. He owned his reaction. A man controls his hands even in panic. He failed that test. No excuse. But the narrative sense is a lie by omission,” Whitlock says.

Whitlock notes that the trainer put her hands on Robinson first in an attempt to shove him out of the way.

“You do not walk into a pile around a hurt player and shove a 200-pound quarterback in full pads. That’s not a trainer offering care. That is a trainer doing way too much in escalating a situation,” he explains.

“And my question is, where is her apology?” Whitlock says, asking, “Why is correction only traveling one direction toward the man?”

He also points out that in the clip of the interaction, “she doesn’t do anything” to help Stone.

“There’s no brace. There’s no evaluation. There’s no comfort. Her sole contribution to the entire sequence is pushing Robinson. Yet the mob demands Robinson carry 100% of the blame. She carries zero. She is cast as the innocent victim. Fragile, helpless, beyond reproach,” he says.

“She’s not the picture of innocence. She’s a girlboss showing up to put men in their place,” he adds.

WNBA sends shocking letter to Congress about men playing in the league — but leaves out one huge detail



The WNBA just got one step closer to admitting what a woman is.

However, the league isn't quite there yet, and its latest response to a congressional inquiry still leaves the water more muddy than clear.

'This is their clear acknowledgment ...'

Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) sent the WNBA a letter in September asking the league to answer some key questions about how the league is being governed.

Stutzman didn't exactly present the WNBA with any difficult questions, but the league still had trouble providing a clear answer.

In addition to queries about player safety, the letter asked how the league defines a "woman" and, if it doesn't have a definition, why it was preventing former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White from entering the WNBA draft.

More than a month later, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has finally responded to the congressman and the House Republican Study Committee.

Stutzman posted the response on his X page, showing that while Engelbert provided the most clear answer from the league to date, she still won't provide a definition of what a woman is.

"With respect to your questions regarding eligibility, only women are eligible to play the WNBA," Engelbert wrote.

She added, "The individuals you cite in your letter are both men."

🚨🚨In a reply to my letter to the WNBA about @Enesfreedom and @Highway_30’s eligibility, the @WNBA declared they are “both men”.

This is their clear acknowledgment that simply identifying as a woman does not change basic human biology! https://t.co/aZ6oPabcyR pic.twitter.com/NLALHBDodO
— Rep. Marlin Stutzman (@RepStutzman) October 20, 2026

Rep. Stutzman declared victory over the response, writing, "This is their clear acknowledgment that simply identifying as a woman does not change basic human biology!"

However, the commissioner's statement that "only women are eligible" is in line with pre-existing WNBA rules set out by the league's latest collective bargaining agreement.

Article XIII, Section 1 of the WNBA's 2026 agreement says that "only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA," but does not provide a definition of the term. The league has not responded to multiple inquiries from Blaze News about what it considers a woman to be.

League officials even met in August to discuss the topic, but made no determination by the end of their meeting:

"There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA, and we strongly denounce the bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others," the WNBA declared.

RELATED: WNBA players seen racing off the court before national anthem — and return right after it ends

The two former NBA players declared themselves eligible for the 2027 WNBA Draft on the simple basis that the league has not defined what a woman is.

While Freedom, a 6'10" former NBA center, did not declare himself to be transgender, White, a former NBA guard, outright declared himself to be a woman.

"I'm a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for the purpose of basketball, professional basketball, so I'll be declaring for the WNBA Draft in 2027 as well," he said in August.

Thrown into the mix was Julie Tétart, a man who seemingly believes he is a woman and plays professional women's basketball in France. The athlete dominated France's Ligue 2 for the 2025-2026 season, blowing competitors out of the water with over 20 points and 20 rebounds per game.

Tétart said if the WNBA contacted him, he wouldn't turn the league down.

"If they contact me, I won't say no."

WNBA players seen racing off the court before national anthem — and return right after it ends



The WNBA is not enforcing its own rules when it comes to "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Fans noticed on Monday that for the second straight game, both teams in the WNBA finals fled the court before the national anthem was played.

'The anthem does not represent freedom, justice, and liberty for all Americans.'

The WNBA finals between the Golden State Valkyries and Atlanta Dream has the league getting widespread attention for all the wrong reasons — again.

Fans and media noticed that the teams headed to their locker rooms before the anthem on Saturday night and were anticipating the same for Game 2 on Monday.

It seemed not even beloved singer Alanis Morissette could keep the teams' attention, as the Dream were seen walking off the court before her performance, followed by the Valkyries jogging to the locker room as the anthem was starting.

A video from Fox News stated that "both teams" returned to the floor "moments after" the national anthem ended.

Despite zero comment or reprimand from the WNBA, both teams appear to be in direct violation of league rules, which state in the 2026 rule book that the national anthem is to be a "dignified" event:

"Players, coaches, and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the playing of the National Anthem," the rule book reads.

Unfortunately, however, WNBA teams have a storied history of skipping the anthem on a regular basis, with league officials previously signaling that they have no problem with it.

RELATED: Philly women's sports bar named after transgender activist closes following claims it wasn't inclusive enough

As reported by the Associated Press, the league suspended its anthem protocol through a memo in 2017, originally in response to seemingly racist events in Charlottesville, Virginia.

It should be noted that in 2026, the Department of Justice charged the Southern Poverty Law Center for allegedly sending more than $270,000 to a person to help plan, and attend, the alleged white nationalist rally.

The Dream have been skipping the anthem frequently in the years since. A set of pregame notes from 2020 highlighted the players' association's stance that "the anthem does not represent freedom, justice, and liberty for all Americans" and that players would continue to protest it "in various forms."

This continued through the 2026 season, even when other teams remained on the court.

The Valkyries, on the other hand, have never taken part in the national anthem since their inaugural 2025 season, the AP reported.

The WNBA has stayed silent in the media over the matter, seemingly not responding to any media requests from other outlets.

Blaze News also reached out to the Atlanta Dream and the WNBA for comment and did not receive a response.

Game 3 of the WNBA Finals tips off at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday. The series is currently tied 1-1.

Jason Whitlock slams mother who was caught twerking just weeks after son’s unexplained, tragic death



A mother’s grief is deeply personal — but a video of Christine Wells Wonsley twerking at a remembrance celebration for her 18-year-old son, Nolan Wells, is only conjuring more questions about her motives following his death.

“In late August, they celebrated his birthday and had a remembrance party, I believe, at her home or some home of a family member,” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says. "And someone has leaked the video that we’re playing right now of her dancing and twerking and celebrating with, I don’t know, a dozen women or so.”

This video, he says, “does not look like a mother … mourning the death of her son.”

“This to me is not a good look,” he continues. “And I know a lot of people will say, ‘Hey … she can dance ... that’s not disrespectful to the remembrance of her son.’ And I get the whole ‘everybody grieves differently’ crowd.”


“But your 18-year-old son drowns, you believe he was murdered, and you’re having a remembrance six, seven weeks later for his birthday and you’re twerking. It’s not a good look in my opinion. It’s significant, in my opinion,” he adds.

April Chapman agrees, noting that in the beginning, she had “wanted to give this woman the benefit of the doubt.”

“But very early on, I made it clear and apparent that connecting with Al Sharpton and Ben Crump and then looking at the race grievance cartel and the character of the people that are screaming justice for Nolan Wells, it told me a lot about the underlying character and disposition of who these people were,” she tells Whitlock.

“And then you see this video,” she adds.

The video, Chapman explains, was given to journalist Sarah Fields by someone who was at the party, “who is now seeing for themselves that this person is a fraud.”

“This woman is playing in our face. She is not grieving,” she says.

“Now, many of us really are grieving in the sense that Nolan Wells, by any stretch of the imagination, and from observation, seemed to be a very good kid,” she continues.

However, every mother whom Chapman has spoken to has said that she wouldn’t “be able to pick [herself] up off the floor.”

“‘I wouldn’t be able to do all these interviews. I would be in a state of depression and just grief because I’m trying to figure out what happened to my son,’” she recalls them saying.

“And then we see a video like this,” she adds.

Philly women's sports bar named after transgender activist closes following claims it wasn't inclusive enough



A sports bar that called itself a hub of the queer community in Philadelphia is closing its doors after just over a year.

The bar was meant to serve as a counter to businesses that prioritize male sports on its TV screens over women's, a common origin story for these types of bars.

'More than ever this city needs more women/queer/BIPOC-owned businesses.'

In September 2025, owner Chivonn Anderson opened Marsha's, named after Marsha P. Johnson, a man the New York Times described as a "transgender pioneer and activist."

Anderson told the Philadelphia Inquirer at the time that she opened her bar because she couldn't find a place in Philadelphia that would put on the 2019 Women's World Cup.

However, despite its desire to be an inclusive location, the bar faced claims from former employees that they were mistreated, with one saying the bar was disparaging toward female employees.

As reported by the Advocate, that employee had claimed a manager said that women and nonbinary employees were "overly emotional" and should be replaced with men because the venue needs "more testosterone."

Anderson denied the claims, but vowed to speak with independent human resources and DEI consultants to hold her bar "accountable."

The bar invited patrons for its "final weekend" in an Instagram post this week, saying that it was closing its doors for good.

"We have loved serving this community, and still believe that more than ever this city needs more women/queer/BIPOC-owned businesses. We sincerely hope that someone is able to step up and fill this void," Marsha's wrote.

Anderson provided bizarre statements to the Inquirer when the bar launched, saying she wanted to open a place for those who want to "go out and have fun and feel safe and be seen."

Followed by, "It's kind of like you're going to your favorite aunt’s house to indulge in the things you know you're not supposed to when you're at home," Anderson continued. "A little bit of drinking, a little bit of good food, and being around people who want to have just as much fun as you do."

Marsha's inception story was similar to that of Seattle women's sports bar Rough & Tumble. For that venue, owner Jen Barnes said in 2022 that she couldn't find a bar that would turn on a women's soccer game because it was on at the same time as a Seattle Seahawks NFL game.

Rough & Tumble has since reportedly opened a second location in Seattle, while other women's sports bars have found success in other cities, like Portland, where the Sports Bra has been open for a couple of years. The Sports Bra now has plans to open another in bar in Boston.

Long Beach, California, has the Watch Me! Sports Bar, which has enjoyed two years of business, as well.
