Boston is apparently the only city in America with racists in it :russ:

Niccas would find a reason to hate:lolbron:


This is big time though.... don’t matter what team it is, just him having a seat at the table and being a minority owner.

Hell are there any other black owners in baseball? (minority owners, I already know no black man has a majority share)


I want to say magic johnson owned some of the dodgers once upon a time

thats insane, and he's just getting started.

that picture of him sitting as the only black person in the frame as a fan
to owning a percentage of the team is poster worthy

He's got a piece of Liverpool with this deal too. The founder of Fenway Sports Group (John Henry) has been pretty adamant that he wants them to become a juggernaut that expands into the NBA, NFL, etc over the next 10-15 years.

Bron probably sees the vision as realistic and wanted to get in early, could be his best shot at owning an NBA team one day like he's hinted at.

ISNT HE A LIFE LONG
YANKEES FAN?

Owners rarely grew up fans of the teams they own unless their family was already part of ownership beforehand. Since teams are very rarely sold, you take a piece of the opportunity that arises, you don't wait decades to make a business decision until "your team" becomes available. You think MJ was a Bobcats/Hornets fan?

Magic has a minority stake with the Dodgers
Patrick Mahomes became part of the Royals ownership team after he landed that massive contract.

Derek Jeter owns 4% of the Marlins.

The Nationals apparently have several Black men on their ownership team.

That's it though, and obviously all of them have pretty small stakes,.


Brandon Bellamy owns a minor league team, and believe it or not is the only Black majority owner in pro baseball even counting all the minor leagues.
