Hi Ameen, oh man, what's up homie?
Hi Ameen.
Ameen famously wearing the white ball cap right now.
Yeah, thread I don't think is the right term.
I think that it's an accountability check.
Like it's an opportunity.
to continue to apply pressure to the WNBA to make sure that these players are getting paid commensurate to opportunity.
And so same thing with Unrivaled.
Like this idea that like Stewie and Nafisa don't want things to work out in the W because they have Unrivaled and that helps them.
Unrivaled is six weeks.
Y'all stop.
And they pay really good salaries, but it's still not enough to sustain the lifestyle that these players have, right?
Like making 250 grand, it's still a lot more than they're making now, but it's not enough to like...
rest on their laurels and say, we don't need other opportunities.
So project B is gonna do the same thing that anything else does, which is just apply pressure and give these women another outlet to say like, we have more leverage to say no to whatever you're laying out for us in the W because we have more opportunities to play.
They're paying a ton of money.
I think they got the Saudis behind them.
And so I love it for the women involved because they have an opportunity to continue to collect bags, continue to spread the sport.
Like Project B is going to be international.
And from what I'm understanding, it's going to be a little bit more of like the Formula One model where they do these major tentpole events in countries across the world for a week or two at a time to really showcase the space internationally.
