Freeman has written for Bleacher Report, The New York Times, Washington Post, Dallas Morning News, Boston Globe, Florida Times-Union and CBSSports.com.
[1][2] In January 2004, Freeman resigned before starting a columnist job at The Indianapolis Star after he was discovered lying about his education, specifically falsely claiming a college degree.
[6] He was unsuccessfully sued for libel by golfer John Daly, with a circuit judge ruling that "Freeman's statements were either true or constitutionally protected opinion".
[10] His work often challenges conventional narratives and provides a voice on critical social issues, making him a respected figure in sports journalism.
But enough about his dream of becoming an astronaut or lead Trekker … From Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser to Bill Rhoden, Jackie MacMullan, Jeff Pearlman and others, Freeman is inspired to write stories that you won’t find anywhere else.
Freeman, to date, has written or contributed to 10 books, his most recent being "Football’s Fearless Activists: How Colin Kaepernick, Eric Reid, Kenny Stills, and Fellow Athletes Stood Up to the NFL and President Trump."
