John Oliver, comedian and presenter shows Last week tonightRecently made headlines for his comment on the inclusion of men in Women’s sport. In the episode, which broadcast on April 6, 2025, Oliver, as usual, presented recent events in the satirical light.
One of these topics discussed was the inclusion of men in a women’s sport. He stated that the emphasis was disproportionate and not implemented in a true problem of justice and security. For further justification of his position he mentioned Peyton McNabFormer high school athlete who advocated transgenders in women’s sports. He explained the incident to the audience, in detail about McNab injuries. He also shared that she told her story before North Carolina’s legislature Before they implemented their ban and were present on Trump’s appeal to Congress. In addition, she released a video about the incident prepared by the activist.
He continued to show several clips of McNabb video, and then explained how even after the incident she continued to play softball, as noted by a local newspaper, which showed that she had led her team to the beginning of 5-0. “I’m not saying that she was not injured or that it did not have any influence on her performance, but many groups that strongly push this story, it seems, shifted it, including choosing the name of this video,” Kill Shot “, which is not a good title for a girl who is very alive.”
The presenter received various convictions for his comments on social media. But what happened to Payton Mcnabb?
A real story by Payton McNaba
According to her story, published on the functions of IW, with the headline “Kill Shot: How Payton Mcnabb turned into a tragedy into a triumph”, McNab was 17 years old when she survived a destructive head and neck while playing volleyball as a result of a thorn man who identified as a transgender.
“Neither me nor anyone else on the team did not agree to this [the transgender athlete being allowed to play] And they were against it from the beginning. We were all as embarrassed in the way it could be allowed, and I suppose we just didn’t imagine what to do, “the former athlete said in the publication.
Spike left McNab unconscious for 30 seconds where her body turned into a “fence”, which indicates an extreme brain injury. “The boy who struck me and the girls in his team stood on the other side of the network, laughing at me,” she said.
Later, the medical assessment revealed the seriousness of the injuries suffered by McNabb, who was diagnosed with neurological disorders such as concussion, vision problems, partial paralysis on the right side of her body and various “empty spaces”, which she never remembers, as reported in her statement. She also lost her ability to ride for several months and needed help at school because she couldn’t keep information as before.
A year later, McNab testified at the North Carolina General Assembly in favor of justice in the Law on Sports Sports, which adopted in August 2023 and forbade male athletes to compete in most sports teams at the K-12 level and the collegial level.

For the first time, people mocked the interpretation of Oliver’s title “Kill a Shot”, which, he said, did not actually kill McNab. Victoria Kohli, which was part of the project, enlightened by Oliver about the meaning of the murder, which means a decisive defeat or stamp of the ball or racket, which is practically not excluded, as in volleyball, trade or badminton.
Author of the popular Harry Potter book series J. K. Rowling also condemned Oliver in a message X, writing: “I understand why people like Oliver who consistently mocked the anti -scientists who first sold.” said Rowling. “But it’s time to read the F ** King room,” she added.
“Men who put on lipstick and compete with women are the most brought up creatures on Earth. Behind, there are those who support and justify their narcissist, selfish, selfish behavior. In the hell with” Live and Live “, these people should be defeated and devoid of existence,” the user wrote.
