I try to cram as much as possible into this 7 minute episode. First I have to ask everyone to take a minute to buy a copy of my new book, “Nike’s Consumer Direct Offense, Amazon & StockX: The Disruption of Sneaker Retail” on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2H3chRg
In this episode I discuss that the entire response to Zion’s shoe collapsing is basically clickbait. People are fighting for views. Every ball player who has played in a shoe for too long has dealt with some type of shoe malfunction. Zion is under a lot of pressure. I wrote a post about this two years ago: https://arch-usa.com/i-hope-the-world…
Once I finish my quick discussion on Zion I tell you to watch two films on Netflix because at least Zion’s mishap has opened the door to the discussion on amateurism again. The two films you should check out are: Amatuer: https://arch-usa.com/amateur-gives-a-…
and High Flying Bird: https://arch-usa.com/high-flying-bird…
I finish this episode by reminding you that the Pac Pro League is football’s answer to the problem of paying college age players while preparing them for a career in professional football: https://arch-usa.com/why-the-pac-pro-…
