Master P To Colin Kaepernick: Let's Start Our Own League

[5 Grand]

One thing that nobody mentioned is that there is a players union.

I don't know the rules and/or bylaws of the players union but they might have the clout or resources to demand more money, or demand equity in the league itself.

There's 32 teams, but those teams aren't worth anything without the players. If the players demanded equity in the league, or equity in the teams they play for things could change.

It's a very ambitious idea

Having your own league, sounds beautiful when spoken out loud

But, when it comes to business, you have to be honest with yourself

Ideas mean absolutely nothing, Exceution is worshiped

Look at the NFL itself

A multi-billion dollar league, which has the average NFL franchise valued at $2.3 billion

with 32 teams, thats a combined value of $74.8 billion

If you combine all the rappers net worth (Master P, Jay-Z, Puffy, Dr.Dre, 50 Cent, etc.)

Combine all that together, what you got maybe 4.5-5.0 billion?

You need way more investors

You include Oprah, Robert F. Smith, Michael Jordan, Aliko Dagnote (richest black man in the world, net worth of 12.2 billi),

You STILL need some outside investors, financial aid to have the necessary finance in building these teams

However, you want to look at it, you would have to include other races into the business

Mexicans, Indians, Asian, African

Pretty much a league that is ran by minorities in harmony against the white man lol, though white ppl can still play

BUT, even if you get all these people from all walks of life on board, you gotta work with EGOs, preferences, and respect in what they want to see

NFL is a HUGE business and to even compete with that you have to adopt a similar foundation

So, you get the players

You have to pay the players wages and health benefits

You have to pay the coaches, personnel, staff, cheerleaders of each team

Then you have to find an arena in each respective city to host the games

Since you have the NFL contracted with most major cities sports arena

You have to find some sports stadium that is not occupied around that time, pay the owner of that stadium to use the arena on designated days

Then you have to broadcast these games

What network you want to use? BET?

Well since Viacom is the parent company of BET, you know who going to get a cut of the revenue, white people

NFL has multiple ways to distribute their product

ESPN, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS

You would have to do business with them regardless, if you want to increase the viewing audience

And I haven't even talked about the marketing strategy or the commission of the league that assists in regulating the games

It's a complicated, intricate, complex set up, that requires a thorough business plan to execute

Not Impossible At All

But Is Not Easy To Put Into Action

This post is fuzzy math.

You don’t need 32 teams, 8 or 12 would be enough at first.

While you would need great finances 3 billion a team wouldn’t be necessary.

Tv will be the big obstacle Cuz the nfl would probably favor networks who don’t pick up the games.

A couple billion and a good plan and niggas actually supporting the league would have a chance

Hes better off trying to own a team in the NFL then going from there.

Smh at you crab ass negros trying so hard to say something negative about one of the realest, if not the realest brother hip hop has ever produced. Stop hating.

If y'all was around back in the pre-Friday era y'all would've told Cube he had money but not Hollywood money. Y'all the same negros would've told Dre he had money but not Apple money. P laughs at you small minded mothafuckas b/c 20+ years ago people like y'all told him that he dreamed too big and he was a fool for turning down his first contract. But while your favorite rappers are still rhyming for gold chains and getting fucked for publishing and show money P has decades worth of paper and the financial and mental freedom to contemplate something as big as starting his own football league. You crab ass negros are just filled with too much self hate to see if for yourselves. Smmfh. The hate is realer than ever.

Cube shit makes zero fucking sense what so ever. Cube wasn't trying to make a "new Hollywood".

And the Dre shit makes even less sense, since Apple is one that GAVE Dre the money.

Smh at cube wasn't trying to a make a "new Hollywood". Cube, Nia Long, Cuba Gooding, Regina King, Angela Basset, Morris Chestnut and John Singelton all made their debut appearance in Boyz In The Hood. John Singleton's entire mission for BITH was to tell stories that no one else in Hollywood was willing to tell using actors/actresses that no one else in Hollywood was willing to use. Cube was on the leading edge of a new generation that wanted to create a "new Hollywood" where young black artist could highlight their talents and that's exactly what they did. BITH is in the U.S. Congress National Film Registry and all it's stars are household names today. None of that would have happened if they would have listened to a crab ass negro like you.

"New Hollywood" meant dominating the game so Cube picked up where John Singleton left off and got into writing, directing and eventually producing. How many movies has Cube put out? How many movies has Singelton directed? How many movies has the cast of BITH been in? Singelton was offered $100k cash for his script if he agreed to not direct it just was like P was offered a $1M record deal. They both rejected those offers b/c they saw the bigger picture which is something you hating ass negros can't seem to do.

Lol at Cube wasn't trying to make a "new Hollywood". Cube IS the "new Hollywood". Cube Vision, Friday, Chris Tucker, Mike Epps, etc might not have happened if Cube had listened to you same crab ass negros. There wouldn't have been any Apple money if Dre wouldn't have seen the long term potential of Beats headphones. I'm sure there was at least one of you crab ass negros somewhere along the line telling him it wouldn't work. P and Cube have made careers out of ignoring you crabs. But keep hating though. There's a weakminded, insecure, approval seeking faggot out there somewhere who can't wait to hear your opinion on their dreams. Kys

I think it can be done, but you have to have realistic expectations. You can't think of a comes comparison to the NFL in 2017. You have to consider that there will be growing pains and you make not make any money for a while.

I think a good way to start would be to start getting these top high school athletes to go to HBCUs. I think that should be the first step.

HBCU schools still suffer from the same ncaa bullshit the major schools do. Making money for a program you won't see. The NCAA needs an overhaul

True, but I'd be more willing to make money for a black college than a white one as a high rated athlete. Especially now, where they would be gods if they went and got HBCUs back on real tough. The money they would make for the HBCUs would then bring more resources to build the schools up, and would turn around and put money into the surrounding communities and stimulate the hood with more jobs and programs and such, but niggas don't like looking at all sides of shit. HBCUs would be swole now if we had continued to do for self and each other instead of thinking white people's everything was better than ours then. But I agree on the NCAA not being shit lol.

I'm not that hopeful for people when it comes to the millions successful teams can generate that they will become altruistic and all of a sudden grow a heart and look out for the good of all as opposed to maximizing profit through student athletes. It would be amazing if it happened, but how many HBCU folks you know constantly talk shit about how bad the finances at their schools were handled?

Where are finances not handled terribly at least on occasion? These colleges stay taking money and fucking it up somehow. But I'd at least like to see us get some in the first place to fuck up compared to white schools. The difference in endowments and budgets in respective departments is disgusting between the two, especially when you consider how we go to white schools and don't get respected any more than we would at an HBCU, even though the white college has more resources.

A league doesnt have to have 30 teams and generate as much as the NBA or the NFL does. Those leagues took decades to get this big.

All a league really needs is enough fans to stay afloat as they build the infrastructure up year after year.

That is to say if enough people say fuck the NFL and buy tickets for the new league and watch their games, in a few years it will get to nfl level and make a profit.

I dont see enough people giving a fuck though.

A league needs more than just the fans to stay afloat...this is why the NFL can continue to profit even amidst dropping ratings

I'm not disagreeing that it would be great to see these top talents go to an HBCU. I'm just not sure them simply going to an HBCU means all of a sudden the desire to profit will be trumped by the needs of student athletes to not be fucked over
