Oakland Roots Soccer Club joins Common Goal
ONN – Oakland Roots Soccer Club Joins “Common Goal” To Help Fight Social Inequality
“It’s about having a team that we can truly be proud of.”
For Oakland Roots the decision to join Common Goal is one that comes out of an ethos that the club strives to live up to each and every day.
The Californian-based club becomes the first American club to join the movement – pledging 1% of player and staff wages, alongside ticket revenues, to help fight social inequality.
Oakland Roots play their football in the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA) and follow Danish top-tier outfit FC Nordsjælland and Spanish Segunda División B club, Unionistas de Salamanca CF, as the third professional club to join the movement.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of 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-created and 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. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news 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 seeks interested content and media technology partners.
