Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Washington Wizards basketball players Nene Hilario, Otto Porter and Kevin Seraphin fulfilled a dream of many a young man - playing a game of FIFA on a giant screen.
The pair, on a rest day after losing to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, hooked up the giant 'jumbotron' at the Verizon Center, Washington DC, to an Xbox One to play the wildly popular football game.
Strangely, the pair chose an odd combination of opponents, with Busan IPark of the South Korean K League and 1. FC Koln of the Bundesliga on the selection screen; perhaps they were picking random teams.
Nene posted a picture to Twitter with the message: "My boys & I Playing FIFA at real big screen at Verizon @kevin_seraphin Otto."
Nene, a Brazilian, and Seraphin, a Frenchman, both played football as youngsters before turning to basketball.
