ORIGINAL STORY: 10/11/2017
The current controversy surrounding the NFL has inspired hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs to form his own football league, according to a series of tweets from the the man who tops 2017’s Forbes list of the highest-paid entertainers.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s letter to all 32 teams addressing the national anthem issue says the league believes “that everyone should stand for the National Anthem,” and that “the controversy over the Anthem is a barrier to having honest conversations and making real progress on the underlying issues.”
Reacting to the letter, Diddy responded, “I did have a dream to own a nfl team but after this post my DREAM IS TO OWN OUR OWN LEAGUE. WHERE YOU CAN BE YOURSELF. Have a retirement plan. Have the freedom to be a great human and protest for your people without being demonized for your beliefs as a KING!!!!!”
He went on, “New dream alert!!!!! Sell me the NFL NOW!!!! #takedat AND FOR THE RECORD IM NOT EVEN MAD. ITS OUR FAULT FOR NOT HAVING THE COURAGE OUR ANCESTORS HAD!!!!! Maaaaaaan!!!! #TAKEDAT AGAIN
While the verdict is out on how much support the Bad Boy founder will receive, Long Beach rapper Snoop Dogg has already pledged his support via Instagram.
