Why is it so hard for small market teams to get talent (when compared to say the NFL) and what can the league do to fix it?

One of the frustrating things to me about the NBA is how certain teams are simply unable to compete on a level playing field.

And it never made sense to me especially when compared to other leagues like the NFL. Buffalo and Pittsburgh aren't the most glitzy cities but there is no competitive disadvantage when getting talent.

Why is that and is there anything the NBA could do to fix that?

At least 100 killed in Nigerian airstrike on Zamfara market, Amnesty says

>BAUCHI, Nigeria, May 12 (Reuters) - At least 100 civilians were killed in a Nigerian military airstrike on a crowded market in northwest ​Zamfara state, Amnesty International said on Tuesday, urging authorities to ‌open an immediate investigation.

>The airstrike, which hit the remote Tumfa market in Zurmi district on Sunday, was the second to kill scores of people at a ​crowded market in northern Nigeria in a month.

>Dozens of injured ​people were being treated at hospitals in Zurmi and nearby ⁠Shinkafi, Amnesty said, adding that many of those killed were ​women and girls.

>The Nigerian military did not immediately respond to requests for ​comment but has previously denied targeting civilians, saying airstrikes are intelligence-led and hit only militant targets.

>Citing witnesses, Amnesty said military jets had been spotted hovering around the ​area at midday and returned about two hours later and struck ​the crowded market.

>In April, around 200 civilians were killed in a similar airstrike on ‌a ⁠weekly market in Jilli, in northeastern Nigeria. The military has opened a probe into that incident.

>Residents say they are increasingly worried about civilian deaths from military raids and strikes in northern regions.

Anti migrant protesters in South Africa arm themselves with clubs and spears

https://www.rfi.fr/en/africa/20260508-south-africa-rejects-xenophobia-claims-over-anti-migrant-protests

>South Africa has pushed back against accusations of xenophobia, following a wave of anti-migrant protests that has unsettled communities across the country and drawn criticism from elsewhere on the African continent.

>In recent weeks, demonstrations targeting foreign nationals have erupted in several major South African cities, at times turning violent.

>The unrest has prompted concern from countries including Nigeria, Ghana and Mozambique, while United Nations secretary-general Antonio Guterres has also voiced alarm.

>Speaking at a press briefing this week, presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya insisted that South Africa should not be labelled xenophobic, arguing that the protests reflect broader tensions surrounding migration, crime and economic pressures rather than hostility towards foreigners as a whole.

>“South Africa is not xenophobic. South Africans are not xenophobic,” Magwenya said. “What is happening is that we have several pockets of protest, which is permitted under our Constitution. We must also take into account the fact that the issue of immigration is a source of tension.”

>South Africa remains the continent’s most industrialised economy and a major destination for migrants seeking work and stability. According to the national statistics institute, the country is home to more than 3 million immigrants.
