    Neil deGrasse Tyson catches flak on social media over ‘curious’ post about athletes praising God

    Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson took flak on social media over a post about professional athletes thanking God when they win a major sporting event.

    Athletes have routinely spoken openly about their faith and beliefs in God and Jesus. NFL players like C.J. Stroud, Jayden Daniels, Harrison Butker, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts and others have credited their abilities and winning ways to their faith.

    “Curious that talented athletes frequently credit God when they win, but we rarely see them blame God when they lose,” Tyson wrote on X.

    Tyson’s curiosity drew backlash on social media. One person pointed to Texas Longhorns cornerback Jahdae Barron’s speech about the trust in his faith as a counterpoint to Tyson’s post.

    Hurts, Darius Slay and head coach Nick Sirianni both spoke about faith following their win.

    “God’s blessed us very much,” Sirianni told FOX’s Tom Rinaldi. “He gave us all the talents to be able to get here, so first and foremost, thanks to Him. … Thank God, thank you Jesus.”

    During the trophy presentation, he said to Terry Bradshaw, “All glory to God.” 

    Slay thanked his “Lord and Savior” when speaking with the NFL Network after the game.

    In speaking with Erin Andrews, Jalen Hurts, the game’s MVP, said, “God is good. He’s greater than all the highs and the lows.”

    Stroud, the Houston Texans’ quarterback, revealed his faith-based answer when asked about his goals for 2025.

    “Lock it back in with the Lord. Kinda in the lukewarm season – one foot in, one foot out. The Lord has helped me get outta that,” he said. “So, that’s really my 2025 goal is to be locked in with the Lord as much as possible.

  • How Trump tariffs could threaten Tyson Foods

    How Trump tariffs could threaten Tyson Foods

    Zekelman Industries Chairman and CEO Barry Zekelman breaks down the impact of potential Canada, Mexico tariffs on steel prices.

    One of the biggest meat producers in the U.S. is making contingency plans for its pork and chicken products as sweeping tariffs loom over its trading partners. 

    Tyson CEO Donnie King told analysts on an earnings call Monday that the company, which supplies Canada and Mexico with shipments of pork and certain chicken parts, has been “making adjustments” to its operation ahead of the planned tariffs, which took effect over the weekend but are currently paused.

    “In terms of Mexico, the product that we have going in there, the concern, and what we’ve been contingency planning on is pork. We also have chicken – really, a couple of parts of chicken,” King said. The company has a smaller amount of meat going into the Canadian market.

    TRUMP TARIFFS PAUSED: WHAT TO KNOW

    President Donald Trump paused plans to implement 25% tariffs on both countries for 30 days to give them time to negotiate economic deals aimed at securing U.S. borders and curbing the flow of drugs, like fentanyl, into the country.

    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – who also paused plans to impose a 25% retaliatory tariff on U.S. imports – said on X that Canada will implement a $1.3 billion border plan and appoint a fentanyl czar. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum agreed to supply 10,000 troops on the border separating the U.S. and Mexico.

    TJ MAXX CEO SAYS COMPANY COULD BENEFIT FROM TRUMP’S PROPOSED TARIFFS

    “Essentially, what we would do, whether it be pork or whether it would be chicken, is we would find other markets,” King said. 

    The Tyson CEO said the company has already been preparing for this and is making adjustments. 

    Ticker Security Last Change Change %
    TSN TYSON FOODS INC. 57.74 +1.25 +2.21%

    “We think we have risk-adjusted in our guidance the implications of all of those,” King said.
