Kansas City Royals general manager Dayton Moore believes pornography can poison men’s minds.

In an era when powerful men are falling from grace due to sexual misconduct toward women, Moore hopes to use his position of power to teach ballplayers throughout the Royals organization to view and treat women properly.

Nationwide, transgender athletes are blurring the once-distinct lines between male and female in public-school sports programs that, for the most part, remain segregated by sex. One California seventh-grader is blurring the lines even further.

Charlotte, Nashville, and Wichita are hosting early-round games in this year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament—but LGBT advocates say North Carolina, Tennessee, and Kansas allow discrimination against LGBT persons on religious or other grounds.

Here’s a look at some of the athletes, events, and storylines worth watching at this year’s Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The games will begin on Feb. 8 and continue through Feb. 25.

Perhaps the most shocking revelation in former Olympic sprinter Sanya Richards-Ross’ book Chasing Grace is not that she ran in the 2008 Summer Games just two weeks after having an abortion.

The Dallas Cowboys call themselves “America’s Team.” The slogan is central to the Cowboys’ brand and immense nationwide popularity.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones surely aims to keep it that way. Perhaps that’s why, in response to the trend of NFL players kneeling during pregame performances of “The Star-Spangled Banner” to protest racism, police mistreatment of African-Americans, President Trump, or whatever else, Jones told his players to stand during the national anthem, or sit during the game.

We’ll report next month about winners and losers in the highly publicized National Anthem War, but stories of theological progress and regress don’t get much attention. The National Football League has dozens of stories of theological progress and regress. Here are capsules on Ryan Succop, Britton Colquitt, Aaron Rodgers, and Benjamin Watson/Tony Dungy.
