Robert Littal Announces the Official Launch of the New BlackSportsOnline Platform After 15 Years, Ushering in a Bold New Era for Independent Sports Media
The redesigned BSO delivers a faster, mobile-first experience with a modern look, new authors, expanded video content, and Littal's "The Headline King" podcast.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Robert Littal, founder and Editor-in-Chief of BlackSportsOnline (BSO), today announced the official launch of the new BSO platform — the brand's first major redesign in more than 15 years and a major milestone for one of the longest-running independent sports media outlets in the country.
The refreshed BlackSportsOnline delivers a faster, more mobile-friendly design built to meet the demands of today's social media–driven sports audience. The new platform features a bold, eye-catching layout, improved load times, deeper multimedia integration and expanded visibility for BSO's growing roster of writers and contributors.
After operating with essentially the same design for over a decade, Littal said the modernization was long overdue.
"BSO needed to evolve," said Robert Littal, founder of BlackSportsOnline. "It was time for a refresh to bring the site into modern times. We wanted something faster, more dynamic, and more visually striking — something built for the way people consume sports and culture content today."
The upgraded BSO platform introduces:
- A bold, modern redesign focused on visuals and readability
- Significantly faster load times and improved performance across devices
- A mobile-first layout optimized for today's audience
- Enhanced social media integration to boost discoverability
- Dedicated sections highlighting new authors and contributors
- Expanded video and podcast features, including The Headline King with Robert Littal
- A revamped front page featuring breaking news, original reporting, and culture stories
Littal, who has led BSO for nearly 20 years, emphasized the relaunch as a statement of longevity and independence.
"I have been able to stay relevant in this business for 20 years by being able to adapt to the times," Littal said. "During a time where independent sports media is dying, BSO is still going strong and plans to be around for another 20 years — as long as our supporters will have me."
BlackSportsOnline, founded in 2005, has grown from an independent blog to a nationally recognized sports and culture outlet with millions of annual readers across its website, social platforms, YouTube channels, and podcast network.
The new platform is live now at BlackSportsOnline.com.
