Update: 'Newsweek' Takes a Stand on Tennis

Earlier, I mentioned that Newsweek had not yet followed The Wall Street Journal's lead in withdrawing sponsorship from a Dubai tennis tournament to protest the local government's refusal to grant a visa to an Israeli player. Now it seems they've decided how to proceed. Newsweek's statement:

"Newsweek shares the stated commitment of the Women's Tennis Association and the Association of Tennis Professionals to "fair play" in Dubai and to assuring that tournaments are open to all qualified players in the future. If Israeli player Andy Ram is not permitted to enter Dubai to play in the men's tournament, which begins Monday, Newsweek will withdraw from sponsoring the event."
