Do you really expect Kevin Durant whose next contract can be up to like 35 mil a year and 230 mil overall. To play in your black league to make 2 million a year and 12 mill overall?
How do we get a Negro League-esque thing popping?

Should be outdoors on black tops and the home courts should be located in inner cities
The key is though, is not to call it a "black league" but still cater to blacks without saying so or being blunt about it
That's what CACs do
Not with the current generation but if you start instilling that mentality it could work a couple of generations from now imo

I don't expect ANYONE currently to have the mindset to wanna sacrifice for the betterment of the black race as a whole. That will take generations. Which is why I say we need an overall major shift in our mentality first.
Gaining knowledge of self and past history brings about an increase in racial pride which will naturally make you want to see your people do better and WANT to sacrifice for your people.
We are a LONG way from having a large mass group of people willing to unify and do that. Sports aspect aside, we need the mindset that they had to build Black WallStreet in the 1st place.
After this, we need to figure out how to get our own water fountains.

That's not how capitalism works though. And furthermore you can't expect a man to turn down 35 million for 2 million on the premise of "We Black, We got to stick together" hell for what the NBA is already damn near all black. If the premise is something Black owned that could be as big as the NBA or NFL then maybe we need to look into other avenues. Spades, Dominoes(just examples) something grassroots that can be built into something big.

We're on the blood path now
Anyone have the money to do this? Okay then. You think other black millionaires and billionaires haven't thought of this already?

How about a UFC style boxing/kickboxing league
Problem with this is NBA and NFL can be learned and practiced pretty cheaply. UFC is pretty expensive to get into. Boxing is cheap but hell it's already under the thumb of White ownership.
If you instill pride in something you would be surprised how many people would turn down a check for something bigger than money that why I'm saying it could happen in a couple of generations from now, it's not like college athletes are making any money right now
