Major retailers across the UK and Ireland are to stop selling alcoholic drinks associated with Irish fighter Conor McGregor. The decision by Tesco, Musgrave and the BWG Group came after a woman who said Mr McGregor raped her won a civil claim for damages against him. Nikita Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a case at the High Court in the Irish capital. In a statement, a spokesman for Musgrave said: “Musgrave can confirm these products are no longer available to our store network.” The network includes SuperValu, Centra, Daybreak and Mace. A Tesco spokesperson said: “We can confirm that we are removing Proper No Twelve Whiskey from sale in Tesco stores and online.” A spokesperson for BWG Group said: “The products are no longer listed for distribution across our network of Spar, Eurospar, Mace, Londis and XL stores, including Appleby Westward which operates over 300 Spar stores in the south west of England.” It is understood that other retail outlets including Costcutter and Carry Out will also stop stocking products linked to Mr McGregor. He and some of his business partners sold their majority stake in the Proper Number Twelve Irish whiskey brand. He was reported to have been paid more than £103 million from the sale to Proximo Spirits in 2021. On Monday, a popular video game developer decided to pull content featuring the MMA fighter. The Irish athlete has featured in multiple video games, including voice-acting a character bearing his likeness in additional downloadable content in the Hitman series. Mr McGregor’s character featured as a target for the player-controlled assassin in the game. IO Interactive, the Danish developer and publisher of Hitman, said in a statement: “In light of the recent court ruling regarding Conor McGregor, IO Interactive has made the decision to cease its collaboration with the athlete, effective immediately. “We take this matter very seriously and cannot ignore its implications. “Consequently, we will begin removing all content featuring Mr McGregor from our storefronts starting today.” Last Friday, the High Court jury awarded damages amounting to 248,603.60 euros (around £206,000) to Ms Hand. Mr McGregor made no comment as he left court but later posted on social media that he intended to appeal against the decision.

Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's pick for intel chief, faces questions on Capitol Hill amid Syria falloutIndiana should be able to breathe easy this week. It has very little chance of making it into the Big Ten championship game. On the other hand, Georgia's spot in the Southeastern Conference title game is so risky that if the Bulldogs lose they might have been better off sitting it out. Over the next two weeks, the warm familiarity of conference championship games, which began in 1992 thanks to the SEC, could run into the cold reality that comes with the first 12-team College Football Playoff. League title games give the nation's top contenders a chance to hang a banner and impress the CFP committee, but more than ever, the bragging rights come with the risk of a season-wrecking loss — even with an expanded field. “I just don’t think it’s a quality conversation,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said last week, sticking with the time-honored cliche of looking no further than the next weekend's opponent. Those who want to have that talk, though, already know where Georgia stands. The Bulldogs (9-2) are ranked sixth in this week's AP Top 25 and projected somewhere near that in the next set of CFP rankings that come out Tuesday. They already have two losses and will have to beat No. 3 Texas or No. 20 Texas A&M in the SEC title game on Dec. 7 to avoid a third. How bad would a third loss hurt? The chairman of the selection committee insists that a team making a conference title game shouldn't count against it. What that really means won't be known until the games are played and the pairings come out on Dec. 8. "We're going to let the season play out," Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said. “But I think teams who make that championship game, the committee looks at them and puts them in high esteem." All of which could be good news for Indiana in the unlikely event the Hoosiers find themselves playing for the Big Ten title. IU is coming off a flop in its first major test of the season, a 38-15 loss to Ohio State last weekend. After his team's first loss of the season, coach Curt Cignetti took offense to being asked whether the Hoosiers were still a playoff-caliber team. “Is that a serious question?” he asked. “I’m not even gonna answer that. The answer is so obvious.” What might hurt Indiana, which dropped five spots to No. 10 in the AP poll, would be another drubbing. The Hoosiers would be at least a two-touchdown underdog in a title-game matchup against top-ranked Oregon. The odds of that happening, however, are slim. It would take a Michigan upset over No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday, combined with a Maryland upset over No. 4 Penn State and, of course, an Indiana win over Purdue (1-10). Because this is the first year of the 12-team playoff, there's no perfect comparison to make. For instance, this is the first time Power Four conference champions are guaranteed a spot in the playoff. But 2017 provides a textbook example of how a team losing its conference title game suffered. That year, Alabama had one loss (to Auburn) and didn't play in the SEC title game, but made the four-team field ahead of Wisconsin, which was 12-1 after a loss to Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game. Ohio State didn't make it either — two losses didn't get teams into a four-team field. Neither did undefeated UCF. Saturday's results made things a little more clear for the rest of the conferences: — In the Big 12, winning the title game will probably be the only way for Arizona State (9-2), BYU (9-2), Iowa State (9-2), Colorado (8-3) or anyone else to earn a spot in the 12-team playoff. None are ranked higher than 14th in the AP poll. — The Atlantic Coast Conference could get multiple bids. Miami (10-1), SMU (10-1) and Clemson (9-2) all finished in the top 12 of this week's AP poll. They were cheering the loudest when both Alabama and Ole Miss suffered their third losses of the season. — The Mountain West would be a one-bid conference, but that's only a sure thing if Boise State wins. A loss by the Broncos could open the CFP for Tulane or Army of the American Athletic. Both the MWC and AAC title games take place at 8 p.m. on Dec. 6. — Where the committee places Alabama and Ole Miss on Tuesday will be an indicator of what it thinks of teams with three losses that played very strong schedules. — It could also set the stakes for Georgia, which faces the prospect of loss No. 3 in the Dec. 7 title game, assuming the Bulldogs beat rival Georgia Tech this week. — Clemson has been steadily climbing. Its 34-3 loss to Georgia came on Aug. 31. Is it ancient history to the committee, though? — Indiana's status as a playoff team — in, out, nervous? — will become apparent. The Ohio State game was Indiana's first against a top-flight opponent. Then again, it is the Hoosiers' only loss and their weak Big Ten schedule is not their fault.

According to anonymous Defense Department sources as per The Times , Donald Trump is planning an immediate ban on transgender recruits and active duty personnel in the US military as soon as he returns to the White House. The ban would apply to around 15,000 service members and be instituted by medical discharge through executive order. The policy would be similar to the ban Trump enforced in 2017, which was overturned by Joe Biden in 2021. Trans membership and codified DEI training for officers in the military has been a constant source of national embarrassment for the US on the geopolitical stage for the past four years. The adaptation of the ideology into the armed forces has been presented by the Biden Administration and Democrats as a "necessary modernization" for an America increasingly reliant on "minority groups" to fill troop recruitment standards. The U.S. Navy hired this non-binary drag queen as a “digital ambassador” to try to recruit people pic.twitter.com/l3LIEtndVD However, the imposition of woke cultism is one of the biggest reasons for the collapse in volunteers according to combat veteran Pete Hegseth , Trump's current pick for Secretary of Defense. He notes that white working conservatives have been the backbone of the US military for generations and they have recently been alienated by the spread of a political religion that demonizes them. Military recruitment numbers aren't down because the Department of Defense needs to be more inclusive, the numbers are down because the DoD is trying to cater to the wrong demographics. Hegseth argues: "Of course we can’t wait to recruit our largest and most important military demographic until a crisis occurs. But that’s just what Biden’s woke policies have done. For the past three years - after President Barack Obama poured the social justice foundation - the Pentagon, across all branches, has embraced the social justice messages of gender equity, racial diversity, climate stupidity, and the LGBTQA+ alphabet soup in their recruiting pushes. Only one problem: There just aren’t enough lesbians from San Francisco who want to join the 82nd Airborne. Not only do the lesbians not join, but those very same ads turn off the young, patriotic, Christian men who have traditionally filled our ranks..." This position is accurate. Not only do most leftists not want to join the military, the majority are also physically and mentally incapable of handling the rigors of combat. Pentagon data shows that 77% of young recruits today would not qualify for military service because of physical inability, obesity and mental illness. Traits which are incredibly common among progressive activists. A return to a Trump trangender ban would likely be welcomed by most Americans due to global optics. The Biden Administration has encouraged a parade of trans people in uniform as a pillar of military recruitment, a practice which makes America look ripe for conquest. In 2023, a confidential DoD memo revealed that Biden allowed transgender service members to skip deployments and receive indefinite physical fitness waivers. Under Democrat oversight, the military has also offered gender transition hormone treatments and surgeries on the American taxpayer's dime. It's time to "de-transition" the US military and end the embarrassment forever.

Anfield Energy Inc. Announces Shareholder Approval of Plan of ArrangementThe midseason four-game winning streak that lifted the Arizona Cardinals into the playoff picture seemed as though it happened fast. Their subsequent free fall has been even more jarring. The Cardinals could have moved into a tie for first place in the NFC West with a home win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Instead, they were thoroughly and are now tied for last in the tightly packed division. Arizona has lost three straight and will face an uphill battle to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2021. The Seahawks (8-5) are in first place, followed by the Rams (7-6), Cardinals (6-7) and 49ers (6-7). Even more daunting for their playoff hopes, the Cardinals lost both of their games against the Seahawks this season, meaning a tiebreaker would go to Seattle. Four games remain. “I just told them we put ourselves in a little bit of a hole now, but all you can do is attack tomorrow, learn tomorrow and have a good week of practice,” second-year coach Jonathan Gannon said. There are plenty of reasons the Cardinals lost to the Seahawks, including Kyler Murray’s two interceptions, a handful of holding penalties, a porous run defense and a brutal missed field goal. It all adds up to the fact Arizona is playing its worst football of the season at a time when it needed its best. “I’m sure we’ll stick to our process, but we have to tweak some things,” Gannon said. “I have to tweak some things.” What’s working It’s probably faint praise, but the Cardinals did make the game interesting in the second half while trying to fight back from a 27-10 deficit. Murray’s shovel pass to James Conner for a 2-yard touchdown and subsequent 2-point conversion cut the margin to 27-18. The Cardinals had a chance to make it a one-score contest early in the fourth quarter, but Chad Ryland’s 40-yard field goal attempt bounced off the left upright. “I thought we spotted them a lot of points there, but then we battled back,” Gannon said. “I appreciate their effort. That was good. We battled back there, had a couple chances to even cut the lead a little more, but ultimately didn’t get it done.” What needs help Murray’s in a bit of a mini-slump after throwing two interceptions in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. He also didn’t do much in the run game against the Seahawks, with 16 yards on three carries. The quarterback’s decision-making was nearly flawless for much of the season and the Cardinals need that good judgment to return. “I’m not looking at it like I have to try to be Superman,” Murray said. “I don’t think that’s the answer. I just need to play within the offense like we’ve done for the majority of the season. Today, I didn’t. Like I said, throwing two picks puts yourself behind the eight ball.” Said Gannon: “I thought he stuck in there and made some big time throws, though, but he has to protect the ball a little bit better. That’s not just him, that’s all 11. So there’ll be a lot of corrections off those plays.” Stock up The defense didn’t have its best day, but it’s not Budda Baker’s fault. The two-time All-Pro safety is having another phenomenal season and was all over the field against the Seahawks, finishing with 18 tackles. Baker’s energy is relentless and he’s the unquestioned leader of a group that has been better than expected this season, even with Sunday’s mediocre performance. Stock down Left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. had a tough day, getting flagged for holding three times, though one of those penalties was declined by the Seahawks. The second-year player moved from right tackle to the left side during the offseason and the transition has gone well, but Sunday was a step backward. Injuries The Cardinals remain fairly healthy. DL Roy Lopez (ankle) and P Blake Gillikin (ankle) left Sunday’s game, but neither injury is expected to be long term. Key number 9 — It looks as if the Cardinals will go a ninth straight season without winning the NFC West. The last time they won the division was 2015 with coach Bruce Arians and a core offense of quarterback Carson Palmer, running back David Johnson and receiver Larry Fitzgerald. What’s next The Cardinals are in must-win territory now for any chance at the playoffs. They’ll host the New England Patriots on Sunday. ___ AP NFL:

No question is a stupid question: a guide to crypto right now

Next NASCAR season for Denny Hamlin’s 23XI Racing organization is still up in the air. They will race, but there are still question marks. With three drivers racing as open teams, barring an injunction from the court, it could be an interesting year. The Clash this season is at Bowman Gray Stadium. It is a historic return for NASCAR and the venue. While it hosts Weekly Series races throughout the year, the Cup Series has not been there in decades. However, with the costs and potential damages and extra costs of that – 23XI Racing might sit out of the Clash. After all, open teams do not have to attend. Only chartered teams are mandated to show up. “I don’t know. I think a lot of dominoes need to fall. Sponsorship, things like that,” Hamlin said, via Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports . “So, I don’t know that that decision’s been rock solid, made yet. But you know we um, things are so fluid, over the next few weeks we’ll probably know more.” When asked if there was a benefit to the Clash, Hamlin said there was. However, there are also downsides. “Yeah it’s always a good, The Clash is always a good repetition. A rep,” Hamlin said. “It’s certainly one where even though you don’t have pit crews there, it’s good for the teams to work some kinks out. So, yes. But also you know, it’s, you’re probably going to go down there and tear up a lot of stuff. So, I don’t know, we’ll see.” Charter teams must participate in the Clash, but Open teams are not required to attend. Would 23XI Racing skip the Clash if they have that choice as an Open team? Denny Hamlin isn't sure: pic.twitter.com/DTQQLKouJM During the NASCAR Awards on Friday, Denny Hamlin spoke about many things. He had a crew chief change, an ongoing lawsuit at 23XI Racing, and the normal questions around performance and next season that drivers get this time of the year. Denny Hamlin gives update on charter purchase Despite announcing his third team and driver at 23XI Racing this week, Denny Hamlin still does not have a third charter in his hands. 23XI is still in the process of purchasing a NASCAR charter from the now-defunct Stewart-Haas Racing. With the ongoing antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR, it might take a while. NASCAR has to approve the purchase and right now, it doesn’t look like that is going to happen any time soon. At the NASCAR Awards, Denny Hamlin talked about the charter purchase. Or lack thereof at the moment. Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports reported that Hamlin, “said nothing is complete as far as the SHR charter to 23XI. He said he knows the options as far as that charter but can’t talk about it.” So, it is still unclear how that situation will work out. Riley Herbst will drive the No. 35 next year as an open car or chartered car. Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace will do the same thing in the 45 and 23 cars as well. This article first appeared on 5 GOATs and was syndicated with permission.NEW YORK, Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gainey McKenna & Egleston announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Customers Bancorp, Inc. (“Customers Bancorp” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CUBI) securities between March 1, 2024 and August 8, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for the Company’s investors under the federal securities laws. The Complaint alleges that Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Customers Bancorp had inadequate anti-money laundering practices; and (2) as a result, Customers Bancorp was not in compliance with its legal obligations, which subjected Customers Bancorp to heightened regulatory risk. The Complaint further alleges that on April 12, 2024, Customers Bancorp announced that CFO, defendant Carla A. Leibold, had been fired for “cause” for violating Customers Bancorp policy. On this news, the price of Customers Bancorp stock fell nearly 5%. Customers Bancorp subsequently disclosed that Ms. Leibold’s termination was a “separation by mutual agreement.” Then, on August 8, 2024, during market hours, the Federal Reserve issued a press release entitled “Federal Reserve Board issues enforcement action with Customers Bancorp, Inc. and Customers Bank,” which attached a written agreement between Customers Bancorp and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia stating that the Federal Reserve “identified significant deficiencies related to the Bank’s risk management practices and compliance with the applicable laws, rules, and regulations relating to anti-money laundering (‘AML’), including the Bank Secrecy Act.” On this news, the price of Customers Bancorp stock fell more than 15%. Finally, the Complaint alleges that on August 8, 2024, after market hours, Customers Bancorp disclosed a consent order by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Banking and Securities, Bureau of Bank Supervision, relating “principally to aspects of compliance risk management, including risk management practices governing digital asset-related services; oversight by the Board of Directors of Customers Bancorp and the Bank; compliance with anti-money laundering regulations under the Bank Secrecy Act; and compliance with the regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control,” and further stating that “these deficiencies give the Bureau reason to believe that the Bank had engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices relating to BSA/AML Requirements.” On this news, the price of Customers Bancorp stock fell further. Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of Customers Bancorp should contact the Firm prior to the January 31, 2025 lead plaintiff motion deadline.

Mumbai, Nov 23 (IANS): The heavy selling by the foreign institutional investors (FIIs) in India is set to taper off soon as valuations of large-caps have also come down from the elevated levels, market watchers said on Saturday. FIIs have been buying IT stocks and this has been imparting resilience to IT stocks. Banking stocks have been resilient despite FII selling, mainly due to domestic institutional investor (DII) buying, said experts. The relentless selling by FIIs continued in November. After selling equity for Rs 113,858 crore through exchanges in October, FIIs have sold another Rs 41,872 crore of equity through exchanges this month (till November 22). The trend of FII buying through the primary markets also continued with Rs 15,339 crore worth of buying in November. The total FII selling through the exchanges for the period October 1-November 23 stands at Rs 155,730 crore. “This is the kind of selling that happens in a year when FIIs are in selling mode,” said Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Financial Services. Three key factors led to this massive selling by FIIs. One, the ‘Sell India, Buy China’ trade and the second, concerns surrounding FY25 earnings. "The third factor is the ‘Trump trade.’ Of the three, the ‘Sell India, Buy China’ trade is over. The Trump trade also appears to be on its last leg since valuations have reached high levels in the US," Nair elaborated, adding that therefore, the FII selling in India is likely to taper off soon. According to Rohit Agarwal, CEO, Funds Business, Dovetail Capital, the recent SEBI measures enhance market stability and play a crucial role in safeguarding investor interests, ensuring a more resilient derivatives market. "Limiting weekly expiries to a single index on NSE and BSE could encourage a shift in trading volumes towards GIFT City, which still offers a wider range of weekly options. From an FPI perspective, this creates an attractive opportunity for those seeking flexibility in trading strategies," he mentioned. While some of the selling by FIIs in the secondary market is being counterbalanced by buying in the primary market - through large initial public offerings like those from Swiggy and Hyundai, it is expected that FIIs will reduce their selling as we near the end of the calendar year. "Fresh allocations or significant investments are likely to occur once there is greater clarity regarding the Trump administration's policies," said Vipul Bhowar, Senior Director, Listed Investments, Waterfield Advisors. The upcoming large IPOs may briefly increase investments in the primary market, but ongoing interest will depend on macroeconomic stability and corporate earnings performance, said experts.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into the Global Alliance for Responsible Media over allegations of an anticompetitive boycott targeting social media platforms, including Elon Musk ’s X. The investigation comes on the heels of an antitrust lawsuit filed by X in August, accusing GARM and its suburbanization, the World Federation of Advertisers, of orchestrating a coordinated boycott to withhold advertising revenue from platforms that do not adhere to GARM’s “Brand Safety Standards.” The investigation seeks to determine whether the groups violated antitrust laws by colluding to disadvantage platforms such as X and Rumble, a video-sharing platform favored by conservatives. In a statement , Paxton criticized the Biden administration as failing to enforce antitrust laws against its perceived political allies. "Trade organizations and companies cannot collude to block advertising revenue from entities they wish to undermine,” Paxton said, adding that such practices threaten free market competition. X’s lawsuit, filed in federal district court in Texas, alleges that GARM members, including Mars, CVS, Unilever, and Danish energy firm Orsted, acted in concert to enforce brand safety standards through a “naked restraint of trade” at the expense of social media platforms. The suit also claims that these actions were not in the advertisers’ individual economic interests but were instead part of a collective effort to pressure platforms such as X into compliance. Rumble joined X in the lawsuit, accusing GARM of imposing “one-size-fits-all” standards that led to boycotts of alternative platforms. Both companies are seeking an injunction to prevent further coordination among advertisers, as well as damages and legal fees. Investigation follows GARM's downfall The controversy surrounding GARM reached a tipping point in August when Musk’s lawsuit prompted WFA to announce GARM's shutdown . In a statement, WFA described GARM as a "not-for-profit initiative" and blamed its closure on a “distraction” caused by allegations of collusion. GARM was originally established in 2019 following the Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand to promote transparency and responsible advertising in digital media. However, critics, including Musk, argued that its brand safety standards became a tool for censorship and anticompetitive practices. X alleged that GARM members “abruptly and in lockstep” pulled advertising in 2023 over concerns about hate speech on the platform. Musk, who purchased X when it was Twitter in 2022 to promote free speech, faced significant backlash from advertisers as the platform saw increased scrutiny over its content moderation policies. Paxton’s investigation adds momentum to legal challenges against WFA and GARM, which are already facing scrutiny from Congress. The House Judiciary Committee previously found evidence suggesting GARM organized boycotts and used indirect tactics to target disfavored platforms and content creators. X CEO Linda Yaccarino has pointed to the committee’s findings as evidence of GARM’s alleged collusion, saying its actions "demonetized and limited choices for consumers." As Paxton’s office reviews WFA’s activities, the investigation underscores growing concerns about the influence of international advertising groups on free speech and market competition. The outcome could have far-reaching consequences for the advertising industry and its role in shaping online discourse.

"It’s still a major problem,” he posted on X in response to Paxton’s announcement.
