WNBL announces new television deal with all games (including finals) broadcast on Channel 9ās streaming platform and ESPN (which includes Disney +). Curious deal but it will get them a large potential audience.

People need to stop dismissing racism in Japan as generalized xenophobia. Whiteness is reified here. White people don't experience the same discrimination in housing and police stops, e.g., as Chinese, Korean, and non-light-skinned residents do. Exhibit A: unseen-japan.com/japan-africa...
