Heavy (stylized, heavy.) is a sports news website based in New York City. Heavy.com publishes sports news and information for an American audience, with a focus on the NFL, NBA and MLB.
History
Heavy.com was founded by Simon Assaad and David Carson in 1999 as a video-focused entertainment site aimed primarily at young men, debuting audiovisual pop culture phenomena like the Kung Faux series. Assaad and Carson said they modeled the highly interactive site on video games.

Content
Heavy.com primarily aggregates news on sports and trending topics.
The Wall Street Journal's editorial board cited Heavy.com in an August 2019 story on the mass shooter in Dayton, Ohio, as having "gained access to Connor Betts' Twitter account before it was taken down". Slate cited the website's story on the Quebec City mosque shooting as one of the first to be published in English.
