This week in Swish Happens Here, presented by @fearlesssc.com:
A full breakdown on Nneka Ogwumike’s announcement with Project B, the WNBPA, and how Saudi Arabia aims to use WNBA stars to pinkwash its image ⬇️

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.

there's something grotesque about watching espn grab up all the media rights to so many women's leagues when you know how badly they intentionally tanked the WNBA's ratings for over a decade
