Yet it's their platform and they make the money and just have these dudes that are employees to reel you in.

Definitely not the case. Channing been doing media for a long time. Fred Taylor been respected and IMO will be a HOFer eventually. Dude is nasty on the field. Channing was going on ESPN wellllll before Ryan even had a job there. It’s not necessarily about which POD is better, it’s just about preference. Me HAVING been a Fred Taylor fan since a kid (he’s from Belle Glade, Florida which is 40 mins away from me) he’s always been connected. He went to UF also.
I’ve NEVER liked Brandon Marshall. Even during his playing days. He’s just never been like able to me. Chad Johnson always has been cool to me. But B Marsh, I use to watch the I Am Athlete like damn, I f*** with everyone on here EXCEPT Brandon Marshall
Ryan didn’t make the Pivot. He’s a good dude too. But people have always dealt with Fred and Channing. They both have always been very popular in South Florida. Which is a haven for athletes of all sports.

You are completely WRONG bruh
B Marshall been a KNOWN scumbag. Fred ALWAYS had cache. So did Channing.
You called Channing a dumbass but B Marshall is the biggest dumbass of them all
Dude was a great player but it’s a reason he played for so many different teams. Dude is cancerous and always has been.
Fred name good. Ryan’s name is good. Say what you want but Channing name is good down here in Florida as well.
Ryan and ESPN did not “make” the PIVOT. It’s a reason Floyd and Marshawn did interviews. Also dudes like Charles Haley. Those guys don’t just do interviews with everyone….
Y’all hate when certain people just have good reputations and rapport with certain individuals that make them more of a draw. Brandon Marshall face been dirty…

“I be trying to give Adam22 a chance”
I would NEVER utter those words. Black folks argue more about crips and bloods or baby mamas/baby daddy’s….. but never use that same energy when it comes to ownership of our culture. That’s the bottom line. The majority of us keep their minds on nonsense while other races be in the background, sneaking and geeking through the door, siphoning information off of us, while most of us are distracted by stupidity.
I don’t like Vlad or Adam but can’t be upset at them because of our lack of awareness and inability to dictate our own creativity

The world is bigger than south florida.
Channing Crowder the person who the country laughed at along with Kevin Hart and people shook their head at over his dumb *** Russell Wilson's comments? Nobody even knows about Channing Crowder's football career.
You do realize Brandon Marshall has been on Fox, ESPN and Showtime for damn near a decade, right?
Ryan Clark is the reason they're getting a lot of their guest. That's why when they refer to his pod on ESPN or play a clip they mention it as Ryan Clark's podcast The Pivot.

We're used to being exploited by them. It's a cycle.
We would have problems with making another black man rich.
They wouldn't allow a black person to ask some of the same questions Vlad and Adam ask.

B Marshall got sympathy looks because he was one of the first athletes to talk about his depression and the fact that he took medication for his mental issues.
There’s a REASON none of those networks retained him
He abused his wife. He was a team cancer (HOFer IMO) but dude been a malcontent. A LOT of people don’t know that Ryan Clark played football either…
Both Podcast are based in FLORIDA…. But the “world” is bigger than South Florida? There’s a reason both Pods are shot here. Do you know how many athletes train or call Florida home?? Dudes literally can base interviews around who’s in town training and whatnot.
Again, YOU may not have none Channing Crowder but he also went to the University of Florida (made connections) played for the Dolphins and again, has connections.
Just because you may not no someone, you don’t know who they’re affiliated with behind the scenes.

I Am Athlete was getting interviews based off Fred and Ocho… not Brandon Marshall.
Guys like Deion Sanders weren’t going on “I Am Athlete” because of Brandon Marshall….
It was because of Chad Johnson and Fred Taylor

I see both sides of what they were arguing. Adam's platform certainly monetizes "negativity" and he danced around that. He's also 100% a culture vulture who snaked the NoJumper brand from his former business partner.
On the flip side...so ******* what No Jumper promotes negativity? Welcome to America. So does Sony, Universal, and Warner. The ENTIRE reward system for black music is controlled by companies where a white person sits at the top of the pyramid. The most powerful person in that room Bobby Shmurda was sliding across tables for was LA Reid...and guess who he answered to?
There's also an extreme exaggeration on the impact that these guys have on what they're promoting. It was always completely ridiculous to suggest that Akademiks was literally causing violence in Chicago. ****** on here love to talk about how rap music doesn't make people kill people...so I can't fathom how we'd think that streamers are causing people to kill people.
It's one of the biggest cognitive dissonances in society to me how the morality kicks in surrounding this culture.....only when the music isn't playing. Ice might be older than Adam and is a HUGE fan of Drill music and talks about it all the time...but I guess it's different when he's just talking about the "music".
We'll celebrate a King Von for his "music"...but damn the white blogger for asking him about the 12 "opps" he's "smoking on" in the music. I've also seen more than a few of those Trap Lore Ross vids in here...so clearly we understand the idea of consuming content from parties we don't "agree with".
At the end of the day...just like Adam said...it's a mutually beneficial arrangement the artists have with these guys. They WANT and NEED access to the Ak's, the Adam's, and the Vlads' platforms.

So because you don't like Brandon, nobody else is supposed to either.
I Am Athlete is part of what?
Where was Inside The NFL?

Exactly man. Dudes be like “Young Thug music shouldn’t be used against him…it’s entertainment”….
It’s not entertainment when n_ ACTUALLY committed those crimes
So you want me to use the music or the actual evidence? Because even if I just use the evidence, the dude still guilty

The true origin story of No Jumper
George Potter started No Jumper as an early rap Tumblr. Years later, his former partner Adam22 revived it, to greater fame and controversy.

I NEVER said people shouldn’t support Brandon. All I said was there’s groups of people who may not like Brandon and probably would pick a side and jump ship. And vice versa. Some dudes may not like Fred or Channing. It’s OKAY.
I clearly said Brandon was a hell of a receiver and he probably will end up in the HOF but based of me following his career (which I have since 2007) there’s people who don’t like dude.
As far as location, look. Chad, Fred are from Florida and played here professionally, Channing and B Marshall both played here collegiately and professionally… all I’m saying is all four brothers are friends/connected to a lot of the guys that they interview. Florida produces a LOTTTTT of professional athletes. That’s all I’m saying. If you don’t understand that, cool.
Some of these guys have 10-15-20 years worth of relationships with some of these guests

not sure i’d agree to the former 2 points, but the latter is definitely true…there are critiques, ways of moving, & questions that adam & vlad can ask that would be taking much differently if we’re another black person…

That’s a big look if they do that
I think it’s moreso that I Am Athlete had a really really unique/good thing going, B Marshall messed it up with the NASCAR and side content for the quick bread and people were hungry for that same vibe. The Pivot boys came in immediately with the quality guests and Channing doing his best Freaky Charlamagne impersonation giving them the viral clips lol

It’s actually amazing no one has touched Akademiks considering all that he brought into the culture…A large part of this “no taking L’s” culture is because of people trying to replicate what he did with Chicago nationwide. And the culture, while we think he’s a dweeb, we generally let him transition into his current media position.
These dudes gotta be doing dumb *** **** to begin with for Vlad/Ak/Adam to post it…

Akademiks gets railroaded for what he did…. But SMACK, What’s Beef DVDs and dudes like MIKO worldwide get praised…?
Make it make sense. I’m not an Akademiks fan but he did absolutely nothing wrong. Especially in comparison to what’s already transpired. Plenty gangs, crimes, hip hop crimes, etc have been documented since forever by journalist and street producers.
Hip Hop literally supported the most obvious poser EVER in tekashi69, but akademiks is labeled as the poster child of modern day hood commentary
