Yeah, that show was dope. I think its coming back actually.

As far as the commercials, I don't like Iggy cause of his Richard Sherman reaction but I actually agree with him here. (EDIT: I see someone posted the tweets.)

Im not outraged but the commercial is distasteful because they do reinforce those same stereotypes. It also lends children to believe that Athletics IS REALLY the only way to improve the lives of the people around you.

????????? isn't like the first thing any new professional athlete who got big $$$ is to buy their moms a house?? wouldn't any of us buy our moms a crib the first thing we did with all the new $$$??

No... Perhaps the fact that it's the "mom" and not "parents" is what he views as steretypical.. Nice try tho :francis:

Iggy said nothing about it geing the "mom" and not "parents". By the way, just saying mom you can infer that the father also gets to stay in that house..Unless you're really implying that footlocker is trying to perpetuate a stereotype of black children not having fathers...Do you think that is the most likely explanation?

Anyone watch that show on Starz that LeBron Executive Produced called "Survivors Remorse"? Dude had his hole family on payroll.
LeBron does shyt the right way. Instead of giving out limitless handouts to everyone he knows, he puts them to work so they can earn their money to eat. Kevin Hart too.
