Playerdata is information that applies to an individual player or player group (shared data) and is stored as Key/Value Pairs (KVPs) by PlayFab. This article covers client API calls, which are safe to call from any process or context. It also covers server API calls, which should only be made from a dedicated server process you control, or a carefully secured CloudScript call. Server APIs require your dev secret key, which you should never provide-to or publish-with your client.
The C# Samples in this article are written for the Unity SDK. The Unity SDK uses an event driven model to handle non-synchronous tasks. To run the sample code using the standard C# or Xamarin C# SDKs, you must modify the code to use an async Task model. Methods that must be modified have Async append to the method name in the signature. For example, SetObject in the Unity SDK becomes SetObjectAsync in the standard C# SDK. For more information, see Asynchronous programming with async and await.

While sport has historically been a platform for social change, the empowerment of the professional athlete has undoubtedly strengthened the power that sport holds overall. Today, the days of "shut up and dribble" are no longer and the titles of athlete or student-athlete are often followed or preceded by an ampersand.
Most recently, over a dozen NFL players joined together to create a 70-second video addressing Black Lives Matter and asking the league to condemn racism. Just six days later, the NFL pledged to donate $250-million towards combatting systemic racism and battling the ongoing injustices faced by African-Americans. In a similar effort to jolt change, the Players Coalition gathered about 1,400 signatures of athletes, coaches and front office personnel from across the NFL, NBA and MLB in support of a bill to end qualified immunity for police.
Both of these accomplishments are great and reveal the collective power of professional athletes, but there's greater accomplishment hidden in there: the bridging of the cross-functional gap between players, coaches and management. With that in mind, perhaps an even greater accomplishment, one that is vital for social change, would be the bridging of the gap between players and their fanbase.
So, the purpose of this piece is not to tell you something that you already know, like sport having a large platform. In fact, it's no secret that the power behind an athlete's voice can yield incredible results. But while professional athletes offer unparalleled influence when they use their voice to address charities, promote a brand or celebrate a victory, this gap between players, fans and non-fans often results in resistance and backlash when this same voice is used to address social issues.
When this is the perspective, it's easy to tell an athlete to stay in their own lane, stick to their sport and dismiss their voice. Today, however, is different. Today, there is a bridging of these gaps as the most powerful platform on earth known as sport takes on the social issues of systemic racism, racial inequality and police brutality. And these gaps are being eliminated thanks to the most transformational tool humankind has to offer: unity.
Unity, which is the state of being united or joined as a whole, is a feat so powerful that it allows for people that have never even met each other to join together for something that isn't always tangible. You may not realize it, but unity is the foundation for everything and is the catalyst for change.
For instance, think of a mission statement. This collection of words allows employees of all ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, political affiliations and opinions to unite under a common principle: the mission. So, if a mission statement, political party, protest, sports team or social cause isn't something that can always be physically touched, how can it be so powerful? Its ability to unite strangers.
Additionally, a unique trait about unity is that it doesn't always signify total agreement. In fact, all it takes to achieve it is agreement on one thing, even there's disagreements on everything else. In this case, social justice and racial equality are the ideas asking for our unity. Regardless of whether there's agreement or disagreement on everything else under the sun, such as politics, religion or sport, we can still unite under the fight for equality. This is important because as an individual we are powerful, as a league or fanbase we are transformational, but as a collective we are unstoppable.
As activism carries on, policies towards sustainable change are implemented and peaceful protests are reignited and nationally televised, resistance, as usual, will be met. Because while equality may appear not to be a political issue but rather a basic human rights issue, it's important to understand that this equality being fought for comes at the cost of some freedom - and for good reason.
Unfortunately, because of this spar between equality and freedom, politics will get involved, messages will get lost, athletes will be told to stick to sports and, at times, everything will get convoluted. But through all of the politics, protests and pain will stand growth, as long we can set aside our hundreds of differences to not only unite under the concept of equality but the steps, complexities and patience necessary to make sustainable progress towards it.
So, to revisit an earlier statement about the purpose of this piece, it's not to simply tell you that sport is powerful. Instead, the purpose of this is piece is to show you that a newfound unity between the power of sport and power of the people holds so much potential that it has capability to tackle the roots of inequality and racism with a force unlike anything we've ever seen. So keep talking, listening and reflecting because we're on the road to something historic - and sport is in the driver's seat.
A group of Big Ten athletes who are part of the advocacy group College Athlete Unity released a proposal Wednesday expressing "the concerns of over 1,000 Big Ten football players" and listing a series of COVID-19 protocols that the group wants implemented before the start of any college football season.
The proposal, announced in The Players' Tribune shortly after the Big Ten released updated schedules and testing and medical protocols for all sports, seeks to protect the health and safety of Big Ten football players in light of what the group feels has been an inadequate response from the NCAA. It also includes a series of measures aimed at providing economic support to athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Free Press reached out to both Michigan and Michigan State on Monday about their stance on any potential unity group being formed in the Big Ten. Michigan said that day it could not comment on any speculative group, nor upon any "theoretical discussions with such a group." A follow-up request for comment Wednesday has not yet been returned.
On Wednesday, Michigan State athletic director Bill Beekman said the conference has put an emphasis on welcoming input from student-athletes, and said it mirrors MSU's stance on the Big Ten Unity Proposal.
"My door is always open to our student-athletes," Beekman said. "On Monday, Commissioner (Kevin) Warren and Big Ten athletic directors met with student-athletes from every institution to discuss the safety protocols and made sure to note there would be more meetings to follow.
Michigan cornerback Hunter Reynolds, who helped form College Athlete Unity, is listed as a media contact under the Big Ten Unity Proposal, as is Minnesota's Benjamin St-Juste, who previously played at Michigan. They are the only two named players in the statement.
Headlined "Protecting the Well-Being of All Athletes," the Big Ten Unity proposal has five areas in which it makes demands: oversight and transparency; prevention and safety protocols; testing, contact tracing and related procedures; player assurances; and hazard-related economic support.
Notably, the proposal asks for "whistleblower protections" for personnel and athletes who report suspected violations. It also asks for the ban of COVID-19 liability waivers, which some schools (such as Ohio State) have implemented this offseason, and an automatic medical redshirt for any player who misses any competition due to a positive test or must quarantine due to contact tracing.
