“The first Chris Evert Tennis Center not only will bear
her name at a luxury community being developed in
the Dominican Republic, but she will also play a

While it’s possible for a principal to play a principled role it is etymologically impossible for a principle to play a principled role. Don’t bother to ask. A principle cannot play a principaled role either.
