In a 1988 interview, Pablo Escobar said co*caine wasn’t the real problem...hypocrisy was.
He argued that drugs spread because of demand, just like alcohol, and that the US only saw co*caine as dangerous because Colombians controlled the trade.

Real Madrid hasn't won a major trophy in two years. It just became the highest-earning sports team in history anyway, beating the Dallas Cowboys. The man behind it isn't a coach or a player. He builds skyscrapers for a living, and he doesn't even own the club.

His name is Florentino Pérez, and he runs the biggest construction company in Spain, one of the largest anywhere. Real Madrid belongs to its fans, about 90,000 of them, who vote every few years on who runs the place. This Sunday they picked him again. It was the first time in twenty years that anyone even ran against him, and he'll be in charge until 2030.

His smartest move had nothing to do with football. When he took over in 2000, the club was buried under close to 300 million euros of debt. So he talked the city into letting developers build office towers on Real Madrid's old training ground. The land sold, four skyscrapers went up that still stand on the Madrid skyline, and the debt was gone almost overnight, with plenty left to start buying the best players alive. (Years later the EU looked into whether the city had overpaid on purpose to bail the club out. Nothing came of it.)

Then came the players fans still argue about, one global superstar nearly every summer: Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, Beckham. Pérez never pretended it was only about football. When his marketing chief heard Manchester United would sell Beckham for about 35 million euros, he called Pérez yelling that it was a steal. United had priced a footballer. Madrid was buying a worldwide brand it figured was worth ten times more in shirts and sponsorship deals. Within a year of signing him, Madrid had passed United as the most profitable club on earth. Pérez wanted his club to run like Ferrari, a name so strong the money keeps coming whether you win on Saturday or not.

The new stadium is the same idea in concrete. He spent 1.3 billion euros rebuilding it over one thing that bugged him: a football ground hosts maybe 25 games a year and sits dark the other 340 days. His version barely sleeps. It hosts concerts and tours now, and last November it held an American football game. The pitch even slides underground so the place can be rented out without wrecking the grass. Running flat out, it's built to bring in close to a million euros a day.

He has still won plenty on the field, seven Champions League titles across his two spells, from Zidane's famous volley in 2002 to the trophies in 2022 and 2024. But the number that explains him best is simpler. Last year, with nothing big to show for it on the pitch, the club's value still climbed 41 percent. So this week 90,000 fans gave him four more years, and he still doesn't own a single share of the club he turned into the highest-earning team in world sport.

tml vibez dropped ‘hello’ with victony this month but because he did not read clause of contract properly, he can’t promote the song or any other future song/album he drops. worse, he needs to drop these songs else he ain’t fulfilling part of his contracts.

this is worse than being in a cult group. always have your lawyers ready to scrutinize your contract papers!!

[BarçaTimes @BarcaTimes]

🚨🎖| Barcelona have officially joined the race to sign Anthony Gordon. Newcastle United are now in direct talks with both Barça and Bayern Munich over the 25-year-old winger. Gordon was left unused in Newcastle’s final four matches as the club protected him ahead of a possible summer transfer. Newcastle are demanding around £75M–£80M for the player, who still has four years left on his contract. [@SkySports_Keith] #fcblive 🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Rick Ross says 50 Cent doesn’t own his masters and lives in a 2 bedroom apartment.

"All I used to tell him is: you can't dress, you're not really getting no money, you don't own your masters."

"And I'm not speaking down on him because he lives in a two bedroom apartment, but Eminem saved you, Dr. Dre saved you, all the big names, Rozay did it himself."
