NFL And Roc Nation Partnership Can Spur Urban Investment, Purge Bad Cops
ONN – NFL And Roc Nation Partnership Can Spur Urban Investment, Purge Bad Cops
The announcement of the Roc Nation / NFL Partnership was met with a largely negative response but if you read the press release, Colin Kaepernick and other should be excited.
In particular the part about having NFL Players designate places in their cities that would be the focus of Roc Nation / NFL Initiatives was based on a conversation I had with NFL Executives during the NFL Annual Meeting. Thank you for listening.
But I believe the Roc Nation / NFL effort should be also to bring back a form of the NFL Youth and Education Towns – only this time make sure The Boys and Girls Clubs run them and not the NFL. The Towns should have areas where students can learn how to make things: not just music but websites and videos to promote tunes, networks, wood furniture, and have classes in welding and programming languages. You get the picture.
Finally, a Junior Achievement style program should teach kids how to start and run a business.
Then, there should be a place where the neighborhood can report and out bad preditor police officers and have them removed from service. That would fulfill some of what Colin Kaepernick was after when he started the National Anthem Protest.
A great and exciting start.
Stay tuned.
Oakland News Now Note: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest version of an experimental Zennie62Media mobile media video-blogging system network. This is a major part of our new approach to the production of news media. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and also seek interested content and media technology partners.
