Cube alleges that the NBA has blackballed him with the tv networks and the advertisers. Says they are trying to kill his off-season start-up basketball league.
My question is ...
Does this coordinated attack on a black-owned business run afoul of the NBA, networks, and major advertisers position on DEI?
And if not, why not?
I think because of the time period they play, it would directly compete with the WNBA which the NBA subsidizes...Cube said they play at different times, but if someone has the itch to scratch to watch hoops, they would probably tune in to this over the WNBA. It could also impact summer league viewership I would assume.

He went off on covid vaccine and dumping a movie because they were going to force hime to take it.
He went hard on the NBA trying to black ball his 3on3 league.
It's a good episode and worth the listen.
Yep, gender confusion is why civilizations fall.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. No civilization has ever fallen for that reason. Hell, it's probably hardly ever existed before on any meaningful level.

So is Ice Cube now the double-black face of white supremacy? Hard to keep up.Squadron7 said:
So, to review:
Ice Cube is not to be listened to because he didn't have the actual hard scrabble background that Larry Elder, who is not to be listened to, did.
He ran for CA Governor and got called the black face of white supremacy by the LA Times.Stat Monitor Repairman said:
Didn't Larry Elder run for mayor of LA and got run out of town for being racist?

The difference is Larry Elder actually did. Ice did not.
He did a side by side of how they grew up.
Larry Elder grew up in Compton, and Ice Cube grew up very nearby in another South Central neighborhood called Westmont....basically in Inglewood, and close to South Gate, Lynwood, Hawthorne...all rough gang-infested places in the 90's. I like Larry Elder, but it seems silly to split hairs when you're talking about neighboring neighborhoods filled with crime and violence and small homes in South Central LA.
Cube tells stories on Joe Rogan of his upbringing...being harassed by cops when he and his childhood friends were just riding around on bikes etc...friends getting shot to death in gang violence etc.
Maybe Compton is slightly rougher than where he grew up, but to act like he was rich/privileged or say that he "grew up in the burbs" is simply extremely dishonest.
Except Ice Cubes song is ………. "Straight out of COMPTON"
I'm not knocking him on his recent turn of events and finally waking up.
But for many many years the real version of his story wasn't really a known thing by most. Him going to a nice school wasn't something he was advertising!
He's played that very well and used it to his advantage.
He's also in the past said a lot of not so great things.
That being said, the movie "Straight Outta Compton" portrays this. Him getting on his bus at his preppy Woodland Hills High school and going back to the reality of his South Central neighborhood.

And if not, why not?
Do I believe the NBA wants to keep it's monopoly on the sport and probably thinks it literally owns the sport of basketball?
Yes.

I believe Ice Cube is worth $200MM...which certainly equates to FU money. He's a masculine no-nonsense dude who doesn't blindly trust or submit to authority and thinks the modern woke gay this trans that is out of control.

White liberal males are pathetic. Glad Cube t-bagged him for the world to see, instead of wasting his time backtracking or trying to explain himself. This is the way.

It may be slightly less than that, which, of course, is nothing to sneeze at. But as long as he's been around and with all the projects that SHOULD be paying him, $200 mil is chump change (as idiotic as that sounds). Hell, investing in the S&P 500 from his salary and royalties from Boyz/Hood alone should have gotten him half of that, even with spending a good amount for a lavish lifestyle. Where did it all go?
Gordon Ramsey, for example, is worth that or more and has been a thing for about half the time Cube has. Besides, Jay-Z is worth 5x that, basically from the same field (sans Hollywood) and it appears that he just made smarter investments.
I'm not worth anywhere near these guys, but whoever has been advising Cube since the early '90s hasn't done his job.

Eh, I don't agree that directly it's the issue.

It's like the neighborhood depicted in Friday and Boyz n Tha Hood pretty much. Maybe not the worst ghetto out there, but certainly "hood". Lot's of violence and gang activity, especially in the 90's. It's funny to me that people are trying to say Westmont, Inglewood etc. aren't "bad" just because Compton, right down the road was worse.aglaes said:Brittmoore Car Club said:Huh?

Yes, I believe this. The NBA is tanking on ratings and revenue and China has them by the bag. Any interest that could be pivoted away from the NBA is a threat; major or minor.
