July 5th was National Bikini Day ... and to honor this wonderful holiday, the hottest cheerleaders around the NFL busted out their best 2-pieces and stormed the sand.

The family of Florida State QB De'Andre Johnson believes the woman in the bar fight should be charged with a crime ... claiming she struck DJ first.

Sources connected to the situation tell TMZ Sports ... Johnson's family is upset that the woman is being portrayed as an "innocent victim" in the bar fight that went down on June 24th in Tallahassee.

In fact, we're told the family is adamant the woman was the aggressor. Besides balling up her first and throwing a punch at DJ, we're told Johnson claims she kneed him in the groin before he struck.

We're told Johnson's camp has witnesses that will testify to the testicular assault ... and the family wants the D.A. to charge her with a crime "to be fair." Johnson has been charged with misdemeanor assault.

Shocking new footage shows Florida State quarterback De'Andre Johnson PUNCHING a woman in the face HARD at a bar in Tallahassee ... after she punched him in the face first.

It all went down at the Yianni's nightclub on June 24th ... after the woman felt Johnson was aggressively trying to push his way past her to get to the bar.

In the video, released by the State Attorney's office, you can see the woman -- a 21-year-old FSU student -- raises her fist to warn Johnson and he grabs her hand. She then punches him in the face with her left fist.

That's when 19-year-old Johnson responds by throwing a crushing right cross to her face ... you can see the woman bleeding all over the bar.

The woman says she suffered a black eye, swelling all over her face and a cut on her nose.

World Cup hero Carli Lloyd BLOCKED her fiance from attending the championship match yesterday -- and says it was for the good of the team ... and their relationship.

Lloyd just appeared on FOX Sports 1 and explained that her fiance Brian Hollins WANTED to come to the game ... and made plans to attend ... until Lloyd found out and shut him down.

"My fiance Brian was coming until I kinda made sure he wasn't coming," Lloyd said ... "and then he quickly changed his mind 'cause he figured we might not get married if he did show up."

Check out the clip ... Lloyd explains that she doesn't like when her friends and family attend her games because it's a distraction.

Instead, Brian watched the game at a restaurant in New Jersey.

Can't argue with results.

Russell Wilson is literally practicing what he preaches ... saying that he and his super fine pop superstar GF Ciara aren't doing the horizontal bedroom dance until after their wedding dance.

Wilson sat down for an Q&A session at The Rock church yesterday where he talked about his relationship with Ciara and dropped a holy bombshell about their sex life.

"I asked her what would you do if we took all that other stuff off the table and did it Jesus' way, no sex?"

Russell says Ciara agreed ... and since that time, their hot and heavy relationship has been filled with cold showers ... and absolutely NO banging.

Wilson does admit staying celibate ain't easy since Ciara is a "15 out of 10" ... so he's begging the churchgoers and Christians all around to help him in his journey.

BMX Hall of Famer Scot Breithaupt -- known as the "Godfather of BMX" -- was found dead in a tent in Indio, CA this weekend ... cops confirm.

The 57-year-old was a god in the BMX world ... and helped establish bicycle motocross as an international sport. He also served as a BMX commentator for ESPN back in the day.

According to law enforcement, Breithaupt's body was found in a tent in a vacant lot. Officials are investigating the death but say it does not appear Scot was murdered.

Story developing ...

Abby Wambach isn’t afraid of the big moment, and she seized one right after the World Cup when she locked lips with her wife in front of a global TV audience.

Moments after the final whistle ... Abby sprinted off field to celebrate with her wife, Sarah Huffman. It was an especially big (even historic) moment for gay rights -- coming on the heels of the Supreme Court decision, and happening on one of the biggest sports stages possible.

The nation got to see Michael Sam have his draft day kiss with his boyfriend, but that's nothing compared to the over 21 million worldwide viewers that saw Abby's PDA.

Seems Jason Pierre-Paul went to painful lengths to keep his fireworks injury under the radar ... NOT calling emergency services after the mishap ... law enforcement tells TMZ Sports.

As we previously reported, the NY Giants superstar injured his hand during a 4th of July fireworks accident at a home in Broward County, Florida.

But get this ... when we called law enforcement officials in Coral Springs, Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale -- none of them had any record of ANY incident involving JPP. Neither did any Fire Department in the area.

In fact, one law enforcement source tells us everyone is aware of the incident ... but there has been no "formal report" was ever made.

So, what does it mean? It could mean that Jason's injury was not as bad as first reported and he didn't feel the need to call for emergency medical assistance.

Then again, it could also mean the injury WAS horrific ... and JPP was willing to suck up the pain and seek medical attention to limit the amount of people who truly knew the extent of his injuries.

Khloe Kardashian and James Harden couldn't keep their hands off each other in Las Vegas this weekend ... and TMZ Sports has a PIC of the PDA.

To the victors ... go the BOTTLES OF CHAMPAGNE!!!

Moments after crushing Japan and taking back the World Cup, the U.S. Women's National Team partied their faces off in an epic locker room celebration.

Check out the pics ... Carli Lloyd, Abby Wambach, Sydney Leroux and the rest of the gang turned all the way up.

Carli Lloyd has become VERY popular after her legendary performance in the World Cup finals last night ... racking up more than 100,000 new Instagram followers in less than 24 hours.

Lloyd was sitting at roughly 226k when Team USA took the field ... but 3 goals later ... and now she's already up to 340k -- not bad.

Similar trend on Twitter -- where she was at 302k during the game ... and now she's at 370k.

Talk about an awkward conversation ... the L.A. Dodgers once "had an issue" with a pitcher who took locker room nudity WAYYYY too far -- and would hit the team snack bar with his dong out ... so says Eric Karros.

It all went down in the '90s ... and judging from the way Karros tells the story, the "issue" was more about being sanitary ... because nobody wants dirty naked parts touching the team Cracker Jacks.

How serious did movie star Michael B. Jordan take his role for the movie "Creed?" So serious that his boxing co-star Gabriel Rosado says MBJ could deal out some two-fisted punishment for real.

NFL superstar Jason Pierre-Paul has reportedly suffered serious damage to his hand in a 4th of July fireworks accident.

The New York Giants defensive end -- a 2-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champ -- was participating in a massive fireworks show in South Florida with friends when things went wrong.

We've made multiple attempts to reach JPP -- and even his parents -- so far, no luck.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us JPP suffered bad injuries to some of his fingers and his thumb.

Khloe Kardashian's dipping into the hoops pool again -- she and NBA superstar James Harden hit Las Vegas for the 4th and TMZ Sports got the first pics of their date night.

Khloe, James, and his famous beard were spotted leaving dinner Saturday night at Red 8, a fancy Asian restaurant in the Wynn. Vegas sources tell us they looked very couple-y -- snuggling side by side during the meal.

After dinner they went to Drai's Nightclub for Chris Brown's performance.

It's interesting ... Khloe is still legally married to ex-NBA star Lamar Odom, and as we've reported -- there's been zero movement forward in their divorce.

As for how Khloe and the Houston Rockets stud hooked up -- well, Harden was one of the coaches for Kanye West's basketball birthday bash at Staples.

There's no way Blake Griffin could take over for Michael Jordan in a "Space Jam" sequel -- 'cause he's "too beige" ... so says Lakers star Nick Young.

Swaggy P was out in L.A. when we were talking about Griffin's recent basketball shoot with Marvin the Martin -- fueling rumors that B.G. could be the lead guy in the long rumored "Space Jam 2."

Pretty funny clip with Young ... but one of the most interesting parts .. Nick says if given the chance, he wouldn't want to play the hero -- he likes the idea of being the villain.

Bad guys have more fun, right?
