"Oh hell yeah, Casper" ๐
A few surprising "rips" when the @DALOpenTennis boys pull Topps Graphite cards, including a special trade from Casper Ruud to one lucky player. ๐
Why @DjokerNole, one of the greatest athletes of all time, is treated this way makes no sense, and is a dishonor to him and the sport. I have been fortunate in having spent some time with him. He is a great human. He has brought joy, inspiration, and beauty to so many. And letโs not forget great humor and laughter.
After an incredible 15 years @NFLPA I am taking the leap to start my own venture at the start of 2025. This has been the experience of a lifetime, highlighted by my relationships with player leaders, working alongside the best colleagues & others across business, labor and sports
One of the world's leading mobile simulation games, @RealCricket20 will generate incremental, meaningful value for featured cricketers, increasing their off-field financial upside, visibility and fan engagement.

Novak Djokovic was asked about Jannik Sinnerโs case, โI can understand the sentiments of a lot of players who are questioning whether they are treated the sameโ
โAs far as Jannik's case, you know, as I said, these kind of instances are the very reason that why we founded PTPA that is always advocating for fair protocols, clear protocols for standardized approaches to these kind of cases.
I understand the frustration of the players is there because of lack of consistency. As I understood, his case was cleared the moment basically it was announced. But, you know, I think five or six months passed since the news was brought to him and his team.
So, yeah, there is a lot of issues in the system. We see lack of standardized and clear protocols. I can understand
the sentiments of a lot of players that are questioning whether they are treated the same.
Hopefully the governing bodies of our sport will be able to learn from this case and have a better approach for the future. I think collectively there has to be a change, and I think that's obvious.
Many players -- without naming any of them -- I'm sure you know already who these players are, have had similar or same, pretty much the same cases, where they haven't had the same outcome, and now the question is whether it is a case of the funds, whether a player can afford to pay a significant amount of money for a law firm that would then more efficiently represent his or her case.
I don't know. Is that a case or not? That's something really I feel like we have to collectively investigate more, to look into the system and understand how these cases don't happen, meaning not the case itself, but how we can standardize everything so that every player, regardless of his ranking or status or profile, is able to get the same kind of treatment.
So, yeah, I would say that's probably the overall, I guess, my opinion and observation of this entire case of what we have been reading and observing and talking about the last few days.โ

@NFLPA@NFLPAFmrPlayers Jacoby was so much fun. Dancing, TD dances, impersonations, Jacoby always brought the energy, always had a smile on his face. I am gutted to hear the news today. RIP my friend.
