The Warriors Get Choked Up Off Draymond's On-Court Antics Draymond Green of Golden State Warriors fame is once again making headlines and this time for choking Minnesota Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert within the first two minutes of their Nov. 14th contest. The altercation itself is asinine but it hits all new levels of ridiculous when you factor in that it transpired before a point was even scored. While Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels' rough play may seem like ample justification, it is...
It’s been a long 5 years since the release of Breath of the Wild and in that time fans of the series had to contend with a slew of sandbox games that were graphically superior but couldn’t capture the magic that Nintendo created. Well thankfully the wait is over as The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom hit the streets (May 12th) with all its glorious side quests and Zelda lore. As of this writing, I've only played about 30 hours of the game so this will solely be my first impression of...

For Black Americans, the Video Game Industry has been a reflection of the larger society in which we inhabit. We have been loyal contributors and supporters from as far back as the Atari 2600 but have been relegated to the role of “slightly tolerated consumer”. When Developers are asked why so little representation exists for us in their video games, they blame it on the lack of diversity in the workforce. But when we apply for jobs at the largest Publishers and Developers, we are denied...
When my Twitter timeline is overrun by Black boot licks, suck ups and ass kisses, I often ask myself: What would Ralph Wiley think? The irony is that without Black Sports Journalism trailblazers like Wiley, paid shills like Stephen A. Smith and Jason Whitlock wouldn’t have gotten the opportunities they have been afforded–especially in the realm of sports. His Beginnings Ralph Wiley was born to Ralph H. Wiley and Dorothy Brown in 1952. Ralph Wiley’s most formative years belong to the...
The national media for the longest has been working to cement Tom Brady’s legacy as the greatest quarterback in NFL history. I can probably be talked into it despite all the Super Bowl L’s he has taken in his career.
