BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

    The Premier League is now on Sorare.

The English Premier League is partnering with French fantasy sports platform Sorare to sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs), the latter announced on Monday.

In a statement, Sorare indicated that the agreement grants it a four-year license to sell digital sports cards of players from all 20 Premier League clubs.

In October, Sky News reported that the deal could be worth 30 million pounds ($37.13 million) per year.

Welcome to the House of Sorare. 🦁

Reuters explained that the cards in Sorare's game are bought and traded in the form of NFTs using either cryptocurrency or traditional currency.

Sorare CEO Nicolas Julia noted at a journalists' briefing last week that Britain's gambling watchdog 2021 investigation into whether its game amounts to gambling was still ongoing.

Richard Masters, chief executive of the Premier League, pointed out that "the way that supporters follow their favorite teams and players is evolving and the Premier League is always looking for ways to engage with fans."

It is noteworthy that many top football teams and sports stars promoted crypto assets, such as NFTs or fan tokens.

According to Reuters, the average sale price of a Sorare NFT dropped to around $38 in December, down from a peak of $281 in March 2021. However, blockchain tracker CryptoSlam highlighted that the number of Sorare monthly buyers and transactions is near an all-time high.

"We never market the game as an investment... it's a collectible that you can play in a game," Julia underscored, noting that 87% of current users play the game without spending money on the platform.
