Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the shenanigans of the World Cup: Sports was one of the last bastions of political neutrality, which explains its longstanding appeal, if not charm.

They don’t like Christmas because it reminds them of Jesus Christ, whose divinity they reject. Now that Thanksgiving is here, radical atheists are bent on discrediting the [...]
Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the new Disney head: Bob Chapek, who was fired as the Disney CEO, certainly made enemies in and out of Disney. But he is not entirely to blame.
