The way you have defined A here, it will be the character array
A = 'sportssciencesportspolitics'
Do you actually mean that it is a cell array, defined as
A={'sports','science','sports','politics'}
??
(Notice that I used curly brackets where you used square brackets.) Or something else?

If you meant the cell array as I wrote it above, you can do
res = strcmp(A,B);
