NFL Considering Black Investor Group Proposal To Bring Pro Football Team To Oakland

NFL Considering Black Investor Group Proposal To Bring Pro Football Team To Oakland - Video

I received a call and an email from someone who's been involved in Oakland sports development in the recent past. He told me that a group of African American investors sent an introductory letter of intent to the National Football League, and to bring an NFL franchise to Oakland. And, in the interest of full disclosure, I was asked to be involved as a consultant. I was also told that the NFL acknowledged receipt of the group's letter, which, in itself is a notable point of information for anyone who may question the credibility of the people involved. The 4 Primary Objectives of The Group's Development Project Are: 1) Becoming the First African American Majority Share NFL Team Ownership Group in History 2) Developing A New NFL Football Stadium & Entertainment/Hospitality Complex near and around the Current Coliseum Site to Spearhead Implementation of the Coliseum Specific Plan 3) Assembling a conglomerate of Black Entertainers, Athletes, And Entrepreneurs, who by pooling their resources together, and utilizing the tools of Collective Wealth and Economic Development, will demonstrate the benefits and value of African American Economic Unity and Partnership 4) Much needed Job, Job Training, Economic Development, and Education Services used to benefit the most underserved communities in Oakland, especially the communities directly adjacent to and surrounding the Oakland Coliseum Complex. Beyond that, there are other considerations I will discuss in this livestream. Stay tuned.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
