Chicago Sky Star Makes Demand After Loss on Sunday
Chicago Sky Star Makes Demand After Loss on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky lost to the Atlanta Dream on Sunday, falling to 3-10 on the WNBA season. While it ultimately goes down as another tally in a growing loss column, there were some positive developments for Chicago. Advertisement One encouraging sign for the Sky was how reserve center Elizabeth Williams performed. The 2017 All-Star tallied 16 points and five rebounds off the bench. While this marked a season-high in scoring for Williams, she had bigger things on her mind after the game. As the secretary of the WNBA Player's Association, Williams demanded player salaries begin reflecting the league's growth in recent years. Chicago Sky center Elizabeth Williams (1).Chris Jones-Imagn Images As reported and transcribed by Sky reporter Karli Bell, Williams issued a clear message: "On behalf on my teammates and every member of our union, I want to be clear that we remain committed to negotiating the next CBA with the league and the teams in good faith and privately, but we do want to set the record straight not for the headlines but for the fans who support us and deserve transparency about what's at stake." Advertisement She added, "This is a defining moment for the WNBA. As the league grows, it's time for a CBA that reflects our true value... We deserve a fair share, and we're demanding salaries that reflect our true value." Last month, Ben Pickman of The Athletic provided some insight into the ongoing CBA negotiations. "Players are coming to the negotiating table with several priorities, including increased salaries, a softened salary cap and more access to family planning services," he reported. "Retirement benefits that provide long-term security for players and their families are also among key priorities, and standardizing team work environments, including facility and travel accommodations as well as support staff minimums, are on the list too."

Katy Perry won't join Orlando Bloom at Bezos wedding amid rumored breakup
Pop star Katy Perry is reportedly not expected to join Orlando Bloom at Jeff Bezos' lavish Italian wedding next week amid rumors the couple's relationship is on the rocks. Us Weekly recently reported the pair has been spending time apart and their friends don't know what to make of the situation. Sources said even their inner circle isn't sure if they've 'permanently split.' But according to TMZ, Perry's absence from the A-list nuptials is more logistical than anything else. Perry is currently on tour in Australia, where some of her concert dates would interfere with wedding festivities taking place more than 8,000 miles away. She's scheduled to perform in Perth on Monday — one day before the three-day wedding event begins in Venice — followed by shows in Adelaide on June 26 and 27. Bloom, who's been linked to Perry on and off since 2016 and shares a daughter with her, is expected to attend the Bezos bash solo. He's among a high-profile guest list that's said to include Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria and Ivanka Trump. Perry last partied with Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, after she was launched into space on his Blue Orbit rocket. Perry and Sanchez were joined on that flight by journalist Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, activist Amanda Nguyen and aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe.

Ex-Selayang PKR Youth leaders urge party HQ to act after mass resignations
A group of former Selayang PKR Youth leaders has called on the party headquarters to address the fallout from their mass resignations. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Former leaders of Selayang PKR Youth have called for a response from the party headquarters following their mass resignations, claiming the division has effectively ceased to function. Ex-deputy chief Amir Sahmat told FMT that 17 committee members initially resigned in a letter dated May 7, addressed to secretary-general Fuziah Salleh and youth wing secretary Omar Mokhtar A Manap. Although some leaders retracted their resignations following internal appeals, 14 stood firm. Amir Sahmat. 'It's already dissolved. There's no functioning committee. We're just waiting for the central leadership to accept the resignations so that a pro tem committee can be established,' Amir said. He said the group sent three letters to Fuziah on May 7, June 4, and June 18, but had yet to receive a formal response. Amir said the resignations were triggered by dissatisfaction over the April 12 youth wing elections, where Tamilarasu Thamil Kalai was declared the division chief. The outgoing committee members had raised concerns over the vote count and transparency. A protest letter dated April 13 was sent to PKR's central election committee, demanding an internal audit. However, the results were upheld. Citing Clause 7.12 of the PKR constitution and Clause 15.11 of the youth wing's standing orders, the former leaders said a pro tem committee must be formed when two-thirds of a division's committee step down. They urged the party to formally recognise this and reject any actions or statements made by individuals claiming to represent the division since the resignations. In a follow-up letter dated June 14, the group called on the central leadership to clarify the division's status to avoid confusion and prevent invalid decisions. Their position was reiterated in a third letter dated June 18, insisting that the resignations were final and non-negotiable. They also rejected efforts to coax them back, calling such moves 'disrespectful of the grassroots and the party's constitution'. 'This decision was made with full awareness, reflection, and a sense of responsibility, after considering the internal turmoil and ongoing constraints,' the group said in the letter sighted by FMT. When contacted, Fuziah confirmed receiving the complaints and said they had been referred to the youth wing. 'From what I understand, the youth wing has taken action already,' she said. FMT has also reached out to PKR Youth chief Kamil Munim and secretary Omar Mokhtar for comment.
