Absolutely none of this content is provocative or sexual. The men on here are reading way too much into Tessa/Emma, there is no content that isn't something that is normal to post with your friends. People are sexualising her way too much, in a way that makes myself and probably a lot of other female users of the board uncomfortable.
 
This is the best cover yet - it's the type of thing you'd see framed in an exhibition

What do you guys think about starting to properly index all the magazine interviews/content that comes directly from Emma herself? I'm thinking the Vogue covers, Elle, Grazia, Evening Standard etc. Would be nice to look back on and add too in her later career and have the interviews and photoshoots catalogued by Geography/Date/Publication. I know we have the Articles/Interview thread and that seems like a good place for this, but that content seems wider because it tends to mostly be tabloid speculation rather than direct from the source

Might do it on a free weekend soon.
 
Emma's name is often brought up unwarrantedly by GM, in threads that have nothing to do with her and it tends to be by people who are not her fans, but I guess adds to this thought and feeling that she is 'overexposed' when the reality is she appears to be rent-free in some posters minds, particularly Polish ones, in some sort of one-sided fight for Iga when the majority of EE fans like Iga lol. I do still read there and post though as I like to know what's going on across the WTA, and although b*tchy it is good for that.
 
It’s almost definitely a company backed by a private equity house and/or venture capitalist. I imagine the NFTs are a alternative business revenue stream they’ve pitched because it was hot about a year ago.. they may not really follow through on it it will depend on interest and how successful ‘the patreon but for athletes’ business model is.
 
It's definitely being pushed on the current version of their website:

We're launching a collection of NFTs on the platform in early 2023. If you are new to NFTs and Web 3.0, no problem, we're here to help guide you in this exciting space.

Through our focus on positive, authentic, safe engagement we allow today’s top athletes to interact with their most enthusiastic fans while harnessing the power of new technologies and capabilities like NFTs.

Additionally, AirWayz also enables specialized content types that can be chosen by each athlete including collectibles and even NFTs.
Interesting - they’ve either missed the boat with NFTs as it’s definitely died down since this time last year or we’re at the start of a long journey where they become mainstream assets over the years, in which case buying one now is a good idea but there’s no guarantee of that of course!
