No, I'm talking like the ppl who run shyt happen to be jews.
All apples are fruits, but all fruits aint apples.
Steve Ballmer has a net worth of $70 Billion. Good luck pooling your money against that.

So you're suggesting that a Black owned league couldn't raise money from international investors? Sure they could. There's not scarcity of money out there.They're not special. They simply have access to capital- in a massive, enormous way- that we do not. Fact.
It needs to be taken into consideration and i don't see that. I see a lot of optimistic people ignoring the familial relationships, which we lack, that undergird these monopolies (of ALL industries). Its not 'just business'.
So, industry: sport. Requires capital outlay (finance), arenas (real estate), distribution (media). Legit, pick any given city and all these ppl are married to each other or otherwise related. Thats a cabal. You have to plan for that explicitly and no amount of hoping it works out will surmount that challenge.
This could have been more easily done in the past, when bp had real estate, media, and capital. Im not saying it can't be done, Ijs, it can't depend on anybody else for ALL three pillars i named. Certain things have to be in place first, so as not to be sabotaged.
And a little something called the internet allows for media distribution. If you think Amazon, Google, Facebook, or Apple wouldn't agree to act as distributors then I don't know what to tell you.
And although I suggested possibly using HBCU gyms to start-- you don't need an arena right away. Playing games out like they did in the bubble would suffice while those other elements come into play. I don't understand arguing the 'difficulties' of something no one has even attempted to do. Fans and their money WILL follow the players wherever they go.

The point is that making the choice to do this is easy. The execution not so much. But our community has the tools to accomplish this. Folks are just too concerned about their own pockets. We have the talent, the personnel, and more importantly the savvy to succeed. I'm not going to keep going back and forth with you though. I'm making the point that this IS possible-- you just keep blubbering on about the challenges, as if we're not capable of problem solving. It's like you think one day white people will get bored and start handing over power and wealth. You have to take it. And that's not ever going to be a comfortable situation.
I don't like this analogy. The movie industry is waaayy bigger and more complex than just one private sports league.. I dont think he can just take the whole shyt over himself, but if other players followed his lead, played their cards right, and built up leverage over however many years, blks collectively could potentially have a decent piece of the NBA pie.. Which is a lot considering we control absolutely nothing in ANY existing industry. It all starts with getting a permanent seat at the table

Black people making obscene amounts of money from sports is a relatively modern occurrence. It's not something that was happening 40-50 years ago. On the flip side, the white money behind ownership and agents has been around virtually since the beginning.
The NBA has the most powerful black athletes, including the most powerful athlete in the US (Bron). More black agents are indeed popping up but there's a difference between Bron money and Steve Ballmer money. The athletes don't have the cash to own this shyt. These teams are owned by billionaires and that's never going to change.
Bron is gonna be a billionaire one day and ultimately own a team...but think about the fact that (assuming that happens) the only two black owners will be the two greatest players of all time. Is that the bar that's set? You gotta be the GOAT and have a flawless business record to get to that level? Then it's not truly attainable.

Players are coddled Especially with leagues like AA starting so young. There no real incentive for them to risk that and not see any reward.
NBA maybe alot from that league are starting to come from middle class homes but NFL will NEVER WORK..humble SOUTHERN BEGINNING ASIDE. Too many players in a league who can only think about now, good ol boys network is STRONG. Those boosters....
