If Black America Turned Its Back On Professional Sports...

What's the difference really??

They both work for a larger entity while he is making a small percentage out of the total revenue that is putting in.

One guy just make a hell of a lot more money while doing so.

Most guys in the NBA/NFL are NOT Kobe, Lebron, and AP. THey don't even see the millions up front unless you really make rounds in your respective league.

Even if they don't make millions they are still being paid decent. The bum dude that really does nothing for his team is making more money then you and i most likely

Well then you start doing commentary on basketball games like Charles Barkley

How many slots like that is available compared to the hundreds of cast-offs being rooted out the league??

Not only that, but all those announcers who played the game are HOF's. AND they have some type of personality.

 

[Benjamin Sisko]

Nobody's fault but their own for being reckless with their money and not thinking long term

True, but how many of these athletes will even see the million dollar contract? Out of the entire league?? I know NBA players have a higher percentage of million dollar playboys, but what about NFL and MLB?

True, but once his journey man status is over, then what? The money stops flowing and he is now being forced into the real world with everyone else. Only this time he has no skillset that makes him a valuable commodity.

like nikkas is gonna walk away from millions of dollars and unlimited bad bytches

I understand this mentalitly, but the problem is that "white america" understands that to control black america "men in particular" all you need is the ol school p*ssy and money routine to distract us from creating our own economies and generational wealth. p*ssy and temporary money should not be enough. But it is due to us being one of the few peoples on earth without an identifiable home land (not the continent of Africa but an actual country and gov't) and no real cultural traditions. (hip hop is not a culture......don't believe the lie) to identify with and hold on to. for some reason that is important for humans in order to progress. Without this, and with the continual mistreatment of black folks in amerikkka we are left out of the "amerikkkan dream" In america.......black folks are fast becoming the perminant underclass. And the few of us who recognize this are out-wieghed by the ignorants who will rather stay broke but fly and not change things.







I give up on humanity. cant wait for "our" catostrophic event" to wipe us out.......... real talk

It's called saving and investing.

But the black talent is making crumbs compared to the big-wig owners.

So employees don't make more money than their bosses

So employees don't make more money than their bosses

is there ever a case that they do?? Only example I can think of is the professional star (keyword) player(s) and the coach.
