Diddy Wants To Own His Own Sports League
If Ice Cube and Lavar Ball can do it, why can't Diddy? Own his own sports league that is... It looks like Diddy won’t be buying the Carolina Panthers after all. In a new interview with BigBoyTV, the business mogul explained that he is no longer interested in stepping into the NFL business.
“I really wanted to go in there and be a part of the NFL, and try and be a positive change. This last move ... I don’t even want to own an NFL team no more,” Diddy said, referring to the NFL’s new policy of fining players who kneel during the national anthem. The multi-hyphenate goes on to explain why. “I don’t want to be associated with oppressing black men," he said. "I don’t want to be associated with telling grown ass men what they can and can’t do.”
I did have a dream to own a NFL team but now my dream is to own our own league!

“To all my brother that are out there, I got y’all back,” he continued. “My feelings are hurt. Because I’m such an NFL fan, and I hope they do what they have to do to fix it, and I hope they re-engage my dream to want to do that.”
