A lot of niqqaz were clowning Cube when he went on his press tour about this. Now it's crickets.

So no sources beyond TMZ, where celebrities plant stories and narratives all the time? That's the issue I have. Show me some other sources for this. Doesn't have to be ESPN, which I presume you guys would claim is biased. Has NYT or anyone verified this? On the flip side the DOJ has launched anti-trust investigations that have surprised me over the last few years but...this doesn't sound like an anti-trust issue to me, given how different the products and markets are.

Why everyone hates the NBA but not the NFL with banning Kaepernick? This shyt never makes sense to me. Ice Cube acting like a Republican who votes for Trump at times. I'm sorry but i ain't watching retired D list players run a 3 on 3's :manny:

TBF fukk every sport league in general due to the corrupted intentions, lack of care for the players, lack of union, lack of progression with the streaming era, being greedy fukkheads, and embracing deeply rooted racism get in the way of growth.

But folks will continue to watch the shyt and embrace the shyt come October, come September, and in my case...come March :francis:

Yea they’re all the same with no minority owners, but everyone keeps brushing off what Kaepernick did and stood up for which annoys me. They got smoke for the NBA but come every Sundays and superbowl Sunday everyone is gonna suck off the NFL and ignore what they did and banned him from the game.

Nevermind the CTE issues, some of the team owners whole chest out with the racist old ways, the Janet Jackson controversy that's still effective to this very day, and the tone deaf coverage (HAY GUISE TAYLOR SWIFT IS fukkING ONE OF UZZ :D).

Hell, I can't even watch College Football without feeling some type of way that cacs go hammer over the players, but fukk off with them actually getting paid :mjpls:.

I would watch Baseball which reeks over prejudice history, over eggrun slavery any day, and the MLB is damn near a dying pastime.

I don’t know what TMZ means when they say an investigation.

It sounds as if Cube and his Maga friends went to the DOJ and nothing else. Ironically all of the sources posted are Maga sources (owned by Murdoch) :mjlol:


From my ears it all makes sense, the nba doesn’t want their employees to work for other people especially not fukking Magas and tinfoil hats :dahell:

It’s like can I work for JPMorgan and also do some work for Well Fargo :mjlol:

What’s next? Lebron mad that he can’t play for the clippers and the lakers

I can’t stand baseball, way too boring for me. But I been a basketball fan my entire childhood life and still watch but it’s definitely not what it was. Football players do suffer from a lot of injuries when they retire but the league doesn’t always help them. That’s another reason why I don’t like the sport. And yea they’re praising Taylor way too much, I’ve heard about her name more than the actual sport in the news this entire year.

Retired or players not under contract make up the league tho :skip:

being a contracted NBA player and doing it is one thing, but if I'm retired and out of the league, who cares?

I look forward to him thanking Joe Biden :mjgrin:
I mean it's a fact that the DOJ will take a stronger stand on things like this under Biden than it would in a Republican administration. Big business pretty much had a rubber stamp to do what they wanted previously. And they want it back that way in the worst way.

The article say that they are telling their players, refs and their coaches. Not retired people though :patrice:

That clown is tryna make his venture to become richer with racists clowns a civil rights issue cause another private company doesn’t wanna share their assets :mjlol:


Some current players have expressed a desire to play in Cube's league in the offseason, but we're told, as the Big3 sees it, the NBA has prevented guys from doing so, putting arbitrary rules in place to stop players from hooping in Ice's league.

I think some players have their likenesses used in older NBA videos, products etc. that’s if they signed up for it. I may be wrong though.

I mean the Big 3 is not a threat to the NBA but some of these big companies don't want anyone to eat. There's another case going on where some little wrestling league is suing the WWE because they were messing with them.
