>> naz car, ncaa and charles barkley, this has been a very discomforting week for myself.was thinking about it. if that's happening, nascar, ncaa and charles barkley agree on the same thing, that means it must be monstrous. it must go beyond advocacy and exchanged opinions that people see this for what it is, which is corporations are people, my friend. they don't want to be associated with any kind of stink related to it. the ncaa presents a tricky proposition because their headquarters are in indianapolis. it is the taj mahal that unpaid labor built. you get in these weird situations where you have an institution like the ncaa which makes billions of dollars on the basis of the organized theft of black and youth wealth that's how it makes its money. tom izzo, he just got a $25,000 check from nike for making the final four. he wasn't wearing nike sneakers but he gets that check. the ncaa gets to play high and mighty about this law. i think as activists, as people who care about this stuff, we have to thread this needle carefully and say it is great that you're on this sid
