Why is Ball being condemned, when Oerlin lead the question, but Johnson can say "my boys" when they are men and talking about My Girls" at home as being "strong ass women" and get away with it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LaVar Ball has been slammed for making an “inappropriate” remark to a female ESPN host on Monday, with the network officially condemning him.

Ball made the comments during ESPN’s “First Take” on Monday morning when talking about his son, Lonzo Ball, who was part of the trade deal that reportedly brought Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Molly Qerim, the host, tried to get the show back on the track after Ball began directing the show, saying “LaVar, can I switch gears with you because I have a question here.”

“You can switch gears with me anytime,” Ball responded during the live interview, prompting outcry on social media.

"Give it up for them — my boys!"

"My girls — I got a houseful of strong ass women."

One reason and one reason only as to why Lavar Ball receives negative press.

The reason is obvious! Is it not?

Let me break it down;

Lavar Ball displays confidence
Lavar Ball started his own shoe brand
Lavar Ball is vocal
Lavar Ball has a successful family with three sons who are successful
Lavar Ball started his own Basketball league
Lavar Ball travels internationally and promote his brand

Simply means that he is in control of his own economic base and is not subservient!

Now, analyze the negative comments and I am almost 100% sure that you will ascertain that the people who dislike him will use words such as "clown" and other disparaging racially charged words because their psyche cannot "deal" with him constantly not fitting into the "box" that they have for him!

Actually, he is setting a powerful example of bold entrepreneurship, confidence, and marketing that other African American men should take note of and follow!

He is with his family and providing a great role model for his sons and others who are perceptive enough to "see" what he is actually doing!

Why do networks keep giving that idiot airtime? I bet the Lakers are so happy to have him away from their team.

Oh please, Lavar Ball reveries negative press because he is a pretentious asshat, and because he uses his sons to generate wealth for himself.

Plenty of self made people that are not so full of themselves.
