Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines reacts to a high school transgender runner's state title win. "Real Time" host Bill Maher clashed with liberal scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson over his refusal to say that men have a physical advantage over women in sports, insisting he's "part of the problem." The exchange began when Maher put a spotlight on the ousting of Scientific American's editor-in-chief over her viral attacks on Trump voters. However, Maher thought the magazine's real "scandal" was a piece it published last year claiming "Inequity between male and female athletes is a result not of inherent biological differences between the sexes but of biases in how they are treated in sports." BILL MAHER SAYS ‘MY HEAD’S NOT EXPLODING' OVER TRUMP PICKING RFK JR. FOR HHS: ‘WE DO NEED SHAKING UP’ Scientific American claimed that the "inequity" between men and women in sports is not because of "inherent biological differences between the sexes but of biases in how they are treated in sports." (Rich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) "That's nuts, and it sure ain't scientific," Maher reacted. "And it's in Scientific American. And that's why the Democrats lost the election." The famed astrophysicist responded by letting out a big belly laugh. "It's true," Maher doubled down. "Bill, every 20 minutes on your platform, you come up with another reason why the Democrats lost," Tyson said. "That's not true. First of all, you don't watch this show, so you don't know," Maher fired back. "I know you don't and it's okay, but you talk as if you do and you f---in' don't. And that's okay, just don't bulls--- me. That's the one thing people can't ever do on this show is bulls--- me." MAHER BLASTS LEFT ‘DOUBLING DOWN’ ON WHAT ‘F---ED’ THEM IN ELECTION: ‘TAKE ONE WEEK TO ASK WHAT YOU DID WRONG’ "Real Time" host Bill Maher clashed with liberal scientist Neil Degrass Tyson over his refusal to say men have physical advantages over women in sports. (Screenshots/HBO) "Engage in the idea here," Maher then said. "What I'm asking is Scientific American is saying basically that the reason why a WNBA team can't beat the Lakers is because of societal biases." "What you're saying is not ‘Scientific American says that,’ an editor for Scientific American says that who no longer has the job," Tyson pushed back. "So don't indict a 170-year-old magazine because somebody-" "Ok, this is called Scientific American!" Maher exclaimed. "And they're printing something-" "Because someone who enters the cesspool that is social media and then participates in that exchange. Let's talk about science!" Tyson said. CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST MEDIA AND CULTURE NEWS "Why can't you just say this is not scientific and that Scientific American should do better?" Maher asked. "Well, does she still have her job?" Tyson countered. "Not because of this!" Maher shouted. "I said the scandal is not her tweet... you don't see a problem here?" "Long distance swimming, women might actually have the advantage, you look into that," Tyson responded. "Yeah, maybe long distance swimming... Well, I'm gonna file you under ‘part of the problem,’" Maher jokingly told him. Neil Degrass Tyson repeatedly shrugged off the piece published by Scientific American claiming men and women don't have "inherent biological differences" when it comes to competing in sports. (Screenshot/HBO) Later on during the panel discussion, Maher remained dumbfounded at Tyson's refusal to budge on the subject. "I can't get a scientist to say that Scientific American, the magazine, as so many institutions, have been ideologically captured by this very, very far-left wing to the point where they're denying stuff that is just obvious to the naked eye," Maher said. "He wouldn't actually address the substance!" journalist Andrew Sullivan reacted. "And people aren't stupid. They see them making these [statements], and they see Democrats refusing- and liberals refusing to disown them. Why? What is Neil afraid of? I know what he's afraid of. He's afraid of some massive social media mob coming out and calling him- he's a sexist bigot and all the rest of it. We have to get over that!" "It's insane," Maher agreed. "And people see that and they go 'Well then I can't trust you on anything else.' I mean, look at that ad that Kamala Harris - that Trump ran against her about the transgender in prison thing, like, 'We're gonna pay for prisoners to get a transgender operations' that affects like three people in the world. But she wouldn't say 'That was dumb. I just wouldn't do that anymore.' And people go, 'Well, then I just can't trust you on anything else.'" CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Maher's spat with Tyson continued during his online "Overtime" segment after the scientist took a swipe at the host suggesting he didn't believe "science matters" while discussing vaccines. "Actually, you’re the guy who doesn’t understand why the [WNBA] team can’t beat the Lakers, so I don’t know, you’re supposed to be the scientist and you couldn’t even admit that!" Maher shouted. "This is not your field, you’re not a doctor." "I'm a scientist! Excuse me," an offended Tyson reacted. "That’s not a doctor! When I have a goiter on Uranus, I’ll call you," Maher added. Joseph A.

A pair of teams with minimal rest will face off in Nassau, Bahamas, on Sunday when No. 22 St. John takes on Georgia. St. John's (5-1), which will play its third game in four days, began the stretch in the Bahamas Championship on Thursday, dropping a heartbreaker to No. 13 Baylor. The Red Storm led by 18 in the first half before Baylor forced overtime. From there, St. John's rallied from five down with 1:47 left to send the game to a second overtime, where it saw Baylor knock down a pair of 3-pointers in the final seven seconds -- including Jeremy Roach's buzzer-beater -- to knock off the Red Storm 99-98. In the third-place game on Friday, St. John's breezed past Virginia 80-55. RJ Luis Jr. led the way with 18 points and four steals, followed by Kadary Richmond's 12 points, as the Red Storm took a one-point lead with 15:21 left in the first half and didn't trail again. "I'm really impressed with our guys, coming off a double-overtime, extremely emotional loss," St. John's head coach Rick Pitino said. "To respond that way was extremely impressive, both offensively and defensively." Pitino, in his second year with the Red Storm, was moved by something off the court on Friday, involving captain Zuby Ejiofor, who chipped in eight points, nine boards, two steals and two blocks. Ejiofor was serenaded by St. John's fans during the win, following his two missed free throws at the end of double overtime against Baylor. "When you've only been in a job for a year, you search for things you love about a place," Pitino said. "Tonight I found out what I love about St. John's. Our fans chanted Zuby's name the whole game, which doesn't happen anywhere else in America. I was really impressed with our fans and I thank them for making Zuby feel good, because he gives you all the energy." Luis leads the Red Storm with 17.3 points per game, followed by Ejiofor (10.7), Aaron Scott (10.5), Deivon Smith (10.3) and Richmond (10.2). Georgia enters Sunday's matchup looking to rebound from its first loss after falling to No. 15 Marquette 80-69 on Saturday. Georgia (5-1) battled back from a 15-point, second-half deficit, but was held to just three points over the final 4:57 in Saturday's loss. Blue Cain led the Bulldogs with a season-high 17 points, including five 3-pointers. "It's a process. It's a journey with this team," Bulldogs head coach Mike White said. "It's about continuing to make strides, continuing to protect our culture. ... At the end of the day, wins and losses are going to take care of themselves. We just have to embrace the process and enjoy it." Five-star freshman recruit Asa Newell was held to a season-low nine points but leads the team with 15.5 points per game. Silas Demary Jr. is second with 13.8. --Field Level MediaRed Star Belgrade and Sturm Graz end 4-game losing runs in Champions League Red Star Belgrade and Sturm Graz ended four-game losing runs in the Champions League to get their first points and wins.

Two companies drop McGregor after civil jury ruled he must pay $250K to woman who says he raped her LONDON (AP) — Two companies have cut ties with Conor McGregor after a civil court jury in Ireland ruled last week that he must pay nearly 250,000 Euros ($257,000) to a woman who accused the mixed martial arts fighter of raping her. Proximo Spirits, the owner of Irish whiskey brand Proper No. 12, will no longer feature McGregor’s name or image. Video game developer IO Interactive ended its collaboration with McGregor, who had played a character in a game. Nikita Hand said the Dec. 9, 2018, assault after a night of partying left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. McGregor said she fabricated the allegations after the two had consensual sex. Israeli soccer team prepares for closed-door match in Hungary after attacks on fans in Amsterdam DEBRECEN, Hungary (AP) — Israel’s Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer team has returned to Europe for the first time since its fans were assaulted in the Netherlands earlier this month. The attacks in Amsterdam were condemned as antisemitic by authorities in Israel and across Europe. Macabbi will face off Thursday against Turkey’s Besiktas in an Europa League match that was relocated to Hungary. The contest will be played without fans due to security concerns following the violence in Amsterdam. Hungary has hosted several home games for Israel’s national team for security reasons since the war in Gaza began. Thanksgiving Weekend Sports Guide: Your roadmap to NFL matchups, with other games, times and odds The long sports-filled Thanksgiving weekend is a time when many Americans enjoy gathering with friends and family for good food, good company and hopefully not too much political conversation. Also on the menu — all the NFL and college sports you can handle. Here is a roadmap to one of the biggest sports weekends of the year, with a look at marquee games over the holiday and how to watch. Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley prepare for earliest matchup ever between 1,300-yard running backs Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry combined for 395 yards rushing on back-to-back nights at SoFi Stadium as the dynamic playmakers keep proving that investing in running backs can pay off in the right situation. Next, they will play on the same field at the same time when Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles take on Henry and the Baltimore Ravens in the first matchup ever between two 1,300-yard runners in Week 13 or earlier. Before this year, no player had rushed for at least 1,300 yards and 10 TDs in the first 12 weeks of the season since Shaun Alexander in 2005 as teams moved away from bell-cow backs and diminished the importance of the position. Staley counsels some South Carolina fans to keep calm after No. 4 Gamecocks 1st loss in two seasons COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina coach Dawn Staley is not in panic mode, even if some of famous “Fams” are following her team's first loss in two seasons. The Gamecocks had won 85 of their previous 86 games, including a program record 43 in a row before falling to UCLA 77-62 this past Sunday. South Carolina slipped from No. 1 to No. 4 in the rankings while the Bruins took over the top spot. Still, it caught Staley by surprise that some supporters were worried about the November loss. Staley said the defending national champions are still finding their way. SEC losses are big gains for SMU and Indiana in latest College Football Playoff rankings The Southeastern Conference’s losses were almost everyone else’s gain in the College Football Playoff rankings, with SMU nudging its way into the top 12 and Indiana staying in the mix at No. 10 despite a lopsided loss of its own. The latest 12-team bracket placed undefeated Oregon on top for the fourth straight week. It did not include Alabama or Mississippi of the SEC, both of which suffered their third losses of the season last week. That helped place SMU in the ninth spot, joining No. 6 Miami to give the Atlantic Coast Conference two teams in the 12-team bracket.JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Mac Jones threw two touchdown passes, including one to standout rookie Brian Thomas Jr., and the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans 20-13 in the rain Sunday to sweep the season series for the fourth time in 30 years. Jones completed 15 of 22 passes for 174 yards, with most of them going to Thomas. The first-round draft pick from LSU finished with seven receptions for 91 yards. His 11-yard TD catch with 7:05 remaining gave him his eighth game with at least 60 yards and a score, tying him with Hall of Famer Randy Moss for the most by a rookie in NFL history. Thomas, who has five TD catches in his past four games, also became the fifth player in Jaguars history with double-digit TD receptions in a single season. He joined Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns, Marcedes Lewis and Reggie Williams. The Titans (3-13) improved their position for the 2025 NFL draft — a potential chance to land a franchise quarterback — and secured last place in the AFC South. The Jaguars (4-12) guaranteed themselves third in the division. There was little else at stake in this Week 17 matchup. Jacksonville looked as if it might make it a blowout, but coach Doug Pederson’s team settled for field goals while building a 13-0 lead early. The Titans got back in it with an 85-yard drive to start the second half, which ended with Mason Rudolph’s 8-yard TD pass to a wide-open Nick Vannett. Tennessee kicked a field goal late to make it a seven-point game and got the ball back with 1:29 remaining. Rudolph drove the Titans to the Jacksonville 26, but safety Antonio Johnson knocked down his fourth down pass at the goal line to end it. Jacksonville’s Josh Hines-Allen moved a step closer to the franchise sack record. Hines-Allen sacked Rudolph in the third quarter, giving him 53 for his career and leaving him two shy of tying Tony Brackens’ team mark. Boris Cheek became the NFL’s all-time leader in games officiated when he took the field for the Titans-Jaguars game. Cheek officiated his 461st game over 29 seasons, passing Walt Coleman for the top spot. Coleman officiated 460 games over 30 seasons until his retirement in 2018. Titans running back Tyjae Spears was evaluated for a concussion late in the third quarter. Spears, who wears a protective “guardian cap” over his helmet to help prevent head injuries, ran 20 times for 95 yards. Tennessee had to turn to third-string right tackle John Ojukwu after backup Jaelyn Duncan left in the first half with a shoulder injury. Duncan started in place of Nicholas Petit-Frere, who was benched last week and inactive against Jacksonville. Jaguars right guard Brandon Scherff (shoulder) left in the second quarter but returned on the next series. Titans finish the season next weekend against division champion Houston. Jaguars play at Indianapolis next weekend to close out another year with double-digit losses. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
