248 of the companies that were on the Fortune 500 list in the year 2000 are no longer here today. Those who do not evolve, get replaced. Transformation must be a reflection of a larger, collective, corporate purpose fueled by diverse talent & diverse capital. @WFSummit

Full intvw with Assia (also a former Juventus boardmember) coming in 1 week.

[Front Office Sports News @FOS_News_]

"She doesn't need a male counterpart to get this shit done."

Washington Spirit investor @assiagrazioli spoke on Michele Kang's acquisition of the NWSL team during one of the league's most turbulent periods.

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

"If you use that narrative, then there's no woman that's ever going to own a sports team."

NWSL investor @assiagrazioli broke down how Michele Kang's Washington Spirit acquisition broke the mold and the market in the latest episode of Portfolio Players presented by @etrade.

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

Are celebrity investors good for sports teams?

@assiagrazioli of Muse Capital argues that it only works if the celebrity is hands-on and truly cares about the team’s success.

[Assia Grazioli Venier @assiagrazioli]

This.

[Jessica Berman @JessicaBerman1]

The @nytimes lists its 52 places to go in the world in 2024. Number 21 is Kansas City. Lead reason? "In March @thekccurrent will unveil the 1st stadium built for an @NWSL team." We obviously agree! Can't wait. #nwsl

America’s top universities should abandon their long misadventure into politics, retrain their gaze on their core strengths and rebuild their reputations as centers of research and learning.

My take:

[Assia Grazioli Venier @assiagrazioli]

That was tight! 😬😱

Why I invested in @sailgp / a personal story tied to a scalable, high-tech adrenalin experience, a premium multi-platform product accessible to all, and the first sport where men and women can play on same team. https://t.co/h3tWK6FtDk

What a disgrace. Shame on @Harvard @MIT and @Penn .

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:

Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?

The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.

Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.

In short, they said:

It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.

This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:

“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”

The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.

Don’t take my word for it.

You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.

They must all resign in disgrace.

If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.

Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?

Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.

To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.

On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.

It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.

If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
