As long as Lavar stays away from bashing jews and gays, BBB is going to be fine. You noticed they don't ask him any political tinged questions. He may tell the interviewer beforehand, "no political shyt" He told a white woman to stay in her lane and it hasn't hurt the brand one iota. People with money are going to invest in BBB within the next 12-18 months. Footlocker might carry BBB clothing in the near future.

Good post / take on it op. I didn't think about that aspect of owning your own brand.
However, to play a bit of devils advocate, when Big Baller Brand gets bigger they too will end up losing customers in situations like this. While they don't *HAVE TO* apologize, like any business that doesn't want to bleed over a PR mishap, they will eventually apologize too. Though you are still right they won't just drop Lonzo or LeMelo....
Very few people are buying shyt from them. That ultimately will change.

Be a cac or black but too naive to realize that mental shackles exist today on lots of black people and its by design brehs.
Be too naive to realize that the "plantation" still exists today brehs
Great read and a lot of salient points.
@Rawster I'll like to know what you think about the white chick Lonzo's dating. I'm a big fan of LaVar Ball and I think he's a marketing genius, apart from breaking the stereotype of absentee black dads. However, since the family is one generation away from losing its blackness and LaVar is now the face of black dads - don't you think he needs to steer Lonzo towards picking a black woman to maintain the blackness/narrative and also keep whatever wealth they end up accruing a black one?

Like HOV said,
"till you own your own you can't be free"
"till you own your own you can't be free"
Wouldn't that be the definition of hypocrisy for him to do that when he himself didn't do that? You can't be hotepping and a capitalist at the same time. He can be a strong Black dad/father figure without trying to be militant or get on that Kaep wave. I know I just jump in on this and you didn't @ me, but I just felt compelled.

Snarky comments, check
Maybe you should make your own special BBB message board where you can post safely and securely without having to worry about dealing with any dissenting opinions
I'm hating? BBB can't possibly be making any real money right now, so they have nothing to lose. YOu want a serious convo? I'm being serious. The entire premise of this thread is dumb as fukk and was solely made to get daps from Coli militant/minions. You think Lonzo isn't going to have ANY endorsements? BBB is an apparel company. I guarantee you Lonzo will get endorsements with various companies -- whether it's a credit card company, a travel company, a food company, etc.
At that point, you're in a position where you have to answer to people if you want to keep cashing that check. BTW, nobody is forcing anybody. You don't HAVE to apologize for anything, you can say fukk it, keep it moving, but don't expect that check to keep coming. That has nothing to do with slave mentality or any dumb shyt like that. It's simply an employer-employee relationship. Just like you at your job - if you have a job - you have to follow certain rules and protocols, if you want to keep getting paid and being employed.
By the way.. the biggest fault in your post is that EVERYONE has to answer to someone. Even the supposed BOSS has to answer to either his employees, or his customers, or both. Remember when the Under Armor CEO had to majorly fall back after whatever he said about supporting Trump? He caught heat from his "employees" like Steph Curry, and he caught heat from his customers, and he apologized.
Essay's on said topic you were hating on, check.
You're jealous, you're a hater, and you're totally fixated...
