In 2022….Do Cheerleader Photos Inspire or Offend?

Charles Fischer, Mr. FishDuck Editorials

I am not looking to start a discussion that could go political, nor do I wish to offend anyone on either side of this issue. However we implemented a ban on cheerleader photos a few years ago from FishDuck.com that I am re-thinking, and would love your feedback on.

The Great College Football Schism is Coming

David Marsh Editorials

The great college football schism is coming, and it will fracture college football in a way that will shake the very sport and institution of college athletics to its foundation.
