6 d. ago ‘Players want a different path’: why John Amaechi backs change in British basketball

Former NBA star says existing league is a ‘cartel’ that fails young players but others have fears over the new franchiseHaving played professional basketball in five countries, including spells at three NBA franchises, John Amaechi would appear better qualified than most to comment on the current state of the sport in this country. So when he describes the nine Super League Basketball clubs as a “cartel” who churn out “sewage”, any interested parties are likely to listen – including the sports minister, Stephanie Peacock, who last week received a letter which included similar sentiments from Amaechi.Peacock has become involved, as what is essentially a battle for control of British basketball has escalated to civil war. All nine SLB clubs have begun legal proceedings against the sport’s governing body, the British Basketball Federation, which last week signed a 15-year agreement with an American consortium called GBBL to operate a new men’s professional league from next year.

3 w. ago ‘Bold but significant risk’: Fifa pulling out all the stops to sell Club World Cup

With ticket sales slow and concerns over burnout, football’s governing body is battling to win hearts and mindsThis week president Donald Trump convened a prayer meeting in the Oval Office. Gathered around the Resolute desk, constructed from the timbers of a British naval vessel, a series of pastors laid their hands on the president’s thinning hair and prayed for his success. The only other item on the desk? The enormous intricate bauble that will serve as the trophy for Fifa’s Club World Cup.That Trump should like the look of an object lacquered in 24-carat gold plating, and designed by the New York jewellers Tiffany & Co, is not perhaps a huge surprise. But its prominent position on the world’s most consequential desktop will surely also have been welcomed by the president of Fifa, Gianni Infantino, who left the trophy with Trump this month on his visit to the White House, a week after Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

3 w. ago ‘He threw body piercing parties and lay on a bed of nails’: the wild life of body modification guru Fakir Musafar

A new documentary explores how the pioneer of the ‘modern primitive’ subculture used painful BDSM practices to access new spiritual planes – outraging conventional societyIn the opening moments of A Body to Live in, a documentary by American film-maker Angelo Madsen, we are confronted with two black-and-white photographs. Taken in 1944 by the teenage Roland Loomis, they show him stripped to his underwear, his waist heavily restricted by a leather belt, a rope wrapped several times around his neck.Loomis later renamed himself Fakir Musafar and became one of the founders of the modern primitive movement – a subculture that revolves around body modification practices including branding, suspension, contortion and binding. A Body to Live in, which premieres internationally at London’s BFI Flare film festival this week, dissects Musafar’s body of work, which explored the tension between masculinity and femininity, pain and pleasure, spirituality and S&M.
