first off people should’nt buy anything that kayne sells or endorse because he sold those shoes at way too high prices, talk about the shoes Michael jordan sold, those shoes came down in the poor neigborhood selling at very high prices, I think poor or middle class people should let these people that have money realize that you not buying their expensive stuff, let them go sell them to the people in their neigborhood, guess they wont any sells. Kids rob and steal to get a pair of those jordan shoes, but I dont know how kayne is doing with hers, didnt hear or see them advertising or anything, so I am guessing the sales tanked so they had to be pulled. Its time poor people stop making these greedy people much richer than they are right now. Can you visit their neigborhood? no they wont even let you in their big high gates, well let them buy their own perfumes and shoes or whatever they are selling.

2020 I feel you, I agree that some of these athletes take for granted how blessed they are. But I don’t have a problem with them making 10′s of millions because they are making other people stanky rich. Like you stated Mark Cuban profits the most. Athletes get paid a lot because they generate a lot. They pack arenas and stadiums because millions of adoring fans are in love with their athletic ability. No one seems to ever have a problem with billionaire owners, just the young black athletes they employ. No one has ever in the history of sports attended a game to watch the owner of a team sit courtside or in the owner’s box. I can’t ever recall watching an owner endorsing sneaks, sports drinks, or a fast food chain. That’s because they themselves do not generate millions by their appearance alone. That’s why I don’t have a problem with athletes making ridiculous dough.

Well Terrance it was a figurative reference when I said Jay was pipmin his wife, but the reason for my reference is the fact that they made close to a quarter of a quarter billion last year before the recession fully kicked in, I just see that as a little steep when people who are fans are hurting.
And Proffessional sports are cool, but it is another thing that has gotten way out of hand, I just dont see giving me giving my money to industry that pay these guys 10s of million of dollars to play a game that so many people including myself and others do for the love of doing it. Now I know these guys are human but some have gotten so out of hand that they dont even appreciate the position that they are in. They have an opporatunity to set themselves up for life, but what do they do take you 485 dollars and split you shit up between, the Caddilac man, Rolex man, Hilfiger dude, Liquor store man, the weed and coke man. But at the end of day they only being pimped by Mr Cuban and his associates, I know they can run fast and jump high, but I already payed a lot of money for my Picture tube so I will just watch them on it.

I mean I realy dont care how much people like Madonna charge for their concert because her target audiance has that kind of cash. Im making the point that if you care about people ever feeling like you gave a shit about them then, no better time than now, people are hurting and they Jay and his friends can afford to pretend if nothing else, that they are regular people with some compassion.

He might not be the greatest looking man… but his business sense is totally “on point”!
