Whatever. If it’s better than the NBA, they will make money.
I’ve been around the NBA management. The power behind the NBA is a bunch of little white guys, with glasses. The closest they ever got to basketball was at the scorer stable or the laundry room.
Money runs the NBA. If this guy thinks it’s about the players, he’s crazy.
your last sentence is a bit of a non sequitur….the players make most of the money - over 50% of gross revs - so how can you say it’s about money and not players. The two are not divisible.
You're correct, but if you get on some sports forums, certain people will argue that the players made the league and not the owners. If you tell them that virtually all the owners could live mighty easy without their toys (sports teams) while the athletes would be on welfare or working minimum wage jobs for a living without sports, they won't believe you. They really think professional athletes are the backbone of the country, and we just can't do without them.
That's why you have idiots like Johnson who think you can magically create an infrastructure for black athletes, and people will watch. In a way, I'd like to see it happen just to show them for the utter fools they are when their stupid venture collapses in quick time.
