The NBA is being investigated by the United States Department of Justice over allegations the league attempted to sabotage Ice Cube’s Big3 league, according to TMZ Sports. The league has denied the allegations.
Ice Cube and Big3 co-founder Jeff Kwatinetz have met with Department of Justice lawyers regarding concerns the NBA may have engaged in anticompetitive behavior.
The allegations include the NBA interfering with sponsorship deals, discouraging television networks from broadcasting games, and making arbitrary rules to prevent players from joining the league, despite the NBA and Big3 seasons not overlapping.
The report also claims Big3 officials believe they have been “unfairly targeted by the NBA” and sources in the story say NBA owners have been discouraged from investing in Ice Cube’s league.
NBA spokesman Mike Bass told TMZ the allegations were “not true”.
“We have been supportive of the Big3 since its inception, but we declined to invest.”
The NBA would face a substantial fine if found guilty.
A lot of it is fueled by toxic masculinity. Once you let the algorithm know that you’re into that kind of content, you eventually get bombarded with right-wing bullshit constantly. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/10/black-rappers-aligning-right-conservative-ice-cube
No such thing.
Friend from high school got caught up in that thanks to Tiktok. Dude broke up with his long time GF and suddenly was spewing all kinds of shit Andrew Tate was saying. Turns out he got heavy into that side of tiktok and youtube once he broke up. Now suddenly he’s an expert on women and how to “control them”
I watch a few shorts with Rogan talking about MMA and stuff and every other video there’s Andrew Tate and whatever is the name of his brother talking nonsense that I have to skip. It’s crazy
That would be because Joe Roman’s podcast is like the epicenter of this shit. Long before tate ever came up, his core audience was hanging off of Joe’s every word.
There’s better MMA podcasts out there that don’t involve supporting an outspoken alt right troll who platforms and befriends neo nazis with gusto.
He spreads so much misinformation man. I can’t tell you what to do, but for your own sake find better content and stop feeding the beast.
I like his opinions about MMA and some interaction with other comedians is pretty funny. The rest I ignore as he went from bro science, which was funny, to actually crazy shit, anti-covid and for far, but the point is the algoryhtm goes wild with disseminate alt-right propaganda. It doesn’t even shows Rogan’s crazy takes on other stuff. Goes straight from MMA to Andrew Tate, which is crazy to me.
The algorithm will stop promoting right wing propaganda when you stop watching right wing propaganda. Joe Rogan is right wing propaganda. It is not that difficult to understand. Stop watching garbage, stop getting promoted more garbage.
Literally everyone, from hypercorporate CNN to the staunchly Marxist Jacobin, agree that Joe Rogan is a piece of shit propagandist, and people should stop engaging with his right wing propaganda. Name literally anything else where the entire left agrees in unison, no notes or addendum.
