🏀 The New York Knicks went up 2-0 in the NBA Finals with a victory Friday night, putting them just two wins away from their first NBA title in 53 years.
The team is playing with the UAE government-backed “Experience Abu Dhabi” logo stitched onto its jerseys under a sponsorship deal worth around $30 million per year.
Rep. Jim McGovern (MA) says, “Fans should know that the sport they are enjoying is fueling crimes against humanity. They should know that the NBA is investing in the UAE, and the UAE is investing in atrocities in Sudan.”
The Knicks are the NBA’s only individual franchise with a direct sponsorship arrangement of this kind with the UAE. The broader NBA-UAE partnership is estimated to generate roughly $500 million in advertising revenue.
