About Swipe Sports

Sharp sports takes. No filler. Swipe Sports covers the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, college sports, soccer, WWE, sports media, and culture with our distinct voice. Every piece starts with a take, not a recap, not a wire report, not a press release rewrite. Original opinions, original analysis, original angles.

What We Do

Every story gets a take, a framework, or an angle you won't find anywhere else. Our writers react to trades the moment they drop, build analytical frameworks from publicly available data, find the absurdity hiding inside institutional decisions, and cover the culture stories that mainstream sports media won't touch.

Swipe Sports is an opinion and analysis publication, not a newsroom. We work from the public record: box scores, league data, filings, broadcasts, and the reporting of the journalists who break the news, credited and linked in every piece. The authority is in the take, the rigor of the analysis, and the clarity of the writing.

Editorial Standards

Every article is fact-checked before publication. Stats are verified against primary sources and official league data. We attribute all reporting to the original source. We don't fabricate scenes, invent dialogue, or claim expertise we don't have.

Our editorial voice is opinionated by design. We believe sports writing should have a point of view. Opinions are stated as opinions and supported with evidence, never dressed up as insider reporting.
