Jaylen Brown says players should be able to own equity in teams because they help increase the value of NBA franchises
“Players should be able to invest alongside ownership groups and business opportunities. I don't understand why that’s ever been a thing. It's like you’re an athlete and they make it seem like they can control how much wealth or growth that you could actually accumulate. I think that's wrong”
“I also think that any other major corporation, if you work for Apple, Nike or anywhere, if you're a CEO, if you're someone who has been on a board for a large amount of time, you get equity in a company at some point. You are part of it”
“I think athletes should be looked at in the same way. You played for the Celtics for 20 years, you should get a piece of equity because you helped accumulate the growth. That's the part that gets lost in translation. The sweat equity you put in. You get compensated for doing your job, but you don't get compensated for the growth. At major corporations and companies you do, or at least some of the big ones”
They lied to you that HIV/AIDS traces its origin to Congo. Meanwhile, they created the virus in labs and brought it to Congo, while spreading it through vaccines in South Africa, which now has the highest rates of the virus in the world.
Remember when the show 'Watchmen' came out and white people lost their fucking minds because the show was historically accurate of the massacre in Tulsa? I use that as an example of how white people don't know black people as well as black people know white people.
