The same crown prince that runs the Saudi PI Fund in case you weren’t familiar. The same fund that owns Sela, a partner of Project B…
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Alyssa Thomas is now the 2nd player to sign on to Project B.
Won’t write about every announcement, but the same said here applies to Thomas. Pretty disappointing, to say the very least.

Great article by Christian explaining Project B and the various issues with it (although it's getting harder and harder to hold the higher ground on "hey, this government tramples on human rights!") but it does speak to how much WNBA athletes will back up their activism in the face of fat checks.

Surprised and disappointed that Nneka Ogwumike has signed on for this new league with substantial Saudi Arabian financial backing.
This article is well worth a read.
“This opportunity (for W players) comes with considerable disadvantages that affect the core of what their fans stand for.”

Thank you for writing this! I’ve been trying to understand Nneka’a decision and its implications. This is such a good explainer.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.
