NCCA vs The Supreme Court. The Treatment of Sha'Carri Richardson— Insight into the “DPC Method”.

Let Me Say This

The NCAA’s monopoly got shaken up earlier this week with the news of the NIL and athletes having the luxury to profit of their own name, image, and likeness.. along with cooperate and engage with outside bodies like sports agents and sponsorships/business partnerships. There may be some confusion around the phrase “college athletes will get paid”. Let’s better understand what this new rule really means, future problems/promises, and the extent of their power. Because let’s remember .. the NCAA has had the luxury of hoarding a one-sided billion dollar leverage over their athletes.. and that won’t be given up so easily. Sha'Carri Richardson recently tested positive for Marijuana, which is considered a “banned substance” by the Olympic board and committee and has been suspended from competing in this years Olympic Games. A top notch competitor recognized on a global level has been turned away because legislation in other governing bodies have been slow to update their restrictions on what is regarded in most states (including the one she used marijuana in) as legal and in no way a violation on any local or federal level. This highlights what bureaucracy’s and companies of the past have done in several communities, typically black and brown ones. Vilify the same people who created the actions used to help stir profits. I have given this concept a “name”. Deplete, punish , then copy. Deplete a persons resources and ability to continue their work/creations, punish them for these behaviors, then copy the same methodology or principles in other ways to profit off of it. Sha’Carri isn’t the first to be subjected or be impacted by this exploitation and hypocrisy, and she won’t be the last.
