I just came across Dave Zirin, who writes a sports column for The Nation, among other organizations.
Here is his bio page and directory of Nation articles.
I particularly liked his thoughts on Ricky Williams possibly going to the CFL, his quick dismissal of "Faith Days," and his take on Anthony Prior's new book, The Slave Side of Sunday.
He takes on the Colorado Rockies, too. If there isn't already enough reason to loathe the owners of that organization, here's more: The Rockies have recently gone public about their faith tests for ballplayers. The PR from management is (big surprise) being accompanied by the usual throwaway platitudes intended solely to keep us non-fundies from being righteously offended.
Zirin:
When people are nervous that they will offend you with their beliefs, it's usually because their beliefs are offensive.
