Keep tilting at that windmill, John.

"As we've worked with our initial college athletes, we've realized how important it is for them to have brand support at that level," said Aminah Charles, Beats' head of sports marketing. "The industry is moving toward truly empowering more fully exploiting college athletes, so we wanted to take a bigger swing in this area."

College football, as a whole, is a corrupt dumpster fire of toxicity masquerading under eye-rolling proclamations of nobility, but I question how NIL serves to further exploitation? If anything, it tilts the scale toward the athletes who, yes, have always been chattel shamelessly exploited to line the pockets of university administrators who conveniently look the other way in the face of the sport's gross excesses. We would agree that NIL fixes nothing that is fatally wrong with college football, but I absolutely love the idea of a stand-out college athlete walking away from that miserable experience having been paid more than their masters. To me, it's a bad system used against itself and that's delicious.

Out of curiosity, do you own a Tesla, or are you just white knight-ing for Apple? May as well be upfront about it, at least. Here, I'll even give you a "like" on your post to give you the affirmation you were after. 

Given the byline, I'm somewhat surprised it wasn't "Apple TV+ Revolutionizes the Emmy Awards"

  Meant in good humor and not to disrespect your hard work, Mr. Gallagher. 

"revolutionary" ... now this is just silly. It's car audio. The last time I heard someone refer to car audio with those kind of hyperventilated, pre-orgasmic superlatives was like 20 years ago listening to some dubious high school drop out try to sell me on the "magic of Blaupunkt" (yes, he really did say "magic" ... magical and amazing, tho?)
