The families of two transgender high school athletes in New Hampshire have added President Donald Trump's administration to a lawsuit challenging laws that prevent the athletes from competing in girls' sports.  The teenage plaintiffs, Parker Tirrell and Iris Turmelle, originally filed the lawsuit last year to challenge a current New Hampshire state law prohibiting trans athletes from participating in girls’ sports. On Wednesday, a federal judge granted a request to add the Trump administration to the list of defendants over the president's recent executive order.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Trump signed the "No Men in Women's Sports" executive order on Feb. 5, which prohibited any federal funding for educational institutions that allow biological males to compete on women's or girls' sports teams.  New Hampshire was already one of 25 states with a law in place to enforce similar bans on trans inclusion, but Tirrell and Tur...

As some states have refused to comply with President Donald Trump's recent executive order that bans trans athletes in girls' and women's sports, New York is at an impasse over the issue.  The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) provided a statement to Fox News Digital saying it has advised schools to comply with current state law that allows trans athletes to compete with girls, but is gathering public input before making a final decision.  "While we await further clarification, I strongly advise that NYSPHSAA member schools continue to adhere to current New York state anti-discrimination laws, which allow students to participate on interscholastic teams that best align with their gender identity," NYSPHSAA Executive Director Dr. Robert J. Zayas said. "I am actively working with state officials to assess the implications of this executive order and determine appropriate next steps. Yesterday, I spoke with Dr. Betty Rosa, co...

Two unusual black wolves that are believed to be siblings, were caught on camera crossing a stream in a forest in Poland , according to a conservation organization. The rare sighting, which was captured on video last year, has prompted the SAVE Wildlife Conservation Fund Poland to retrieve scat droppings in the forest that the wolves were observed in, so scientists can learn more about the genetics of the black wolves. The Associated Press reported that the video camera was set up by Joanna Toczydlowska, a project coordinator with the wildlife organization, to study beavers. But she was surprised when she reviewed the recorded footage and saw wolves instead. She decided to leave the camera in place to learn more about the rare animals.

Eli Manning came up short of Pro Football Hall of Fame induction on Thursday night, and as a matter of fact, he wasn't particularly close. Manning was not inside the top 10 of voting for this year's class, which features just four players : Jared Allen, Eric Allen, Antonio Gates and Sterling Sharpe. The New York Giants legend has been a polarizing figure for the Hall of Fame, even well before he retired. On the one hand, he was never an All-Pro or got an MVP vote. On the other hand, he's responsible for two of the greatest Super Bowl drives of all time, and he ranks 11th all time in passing yards and touchdowns.
