Ice Cube’s BIG3 has been making noise as of late for being certified as the first professional Black-owned sports league.
As AfroTech just told you, the stamp of approval was issued by ByBlack and US Black Chambers, Inc.
“Myself and the entire league are honored to be officially certified by ByBlack and the US Black Chambers,” said Cube in a press release. “From day one, the league has been dedicated to providing opportunities for Black players, fans, investors, and partners, and we are proud to be a part of a nationwide network of Black business owners. Supporting Black enterprise is a lifelong passion of mine and the BIG3 will continue to build upon its successes and lift up other Black entrepreneurs.”
Ice Cube has a message for the NBA and ESPN: Yet, it appears some major playersaren’t giving Ice Cube’s league the spotlight it deserves.
On Twitter, Cube responded to a call to action post from NBA veteran and BIG3 athlete turned coach Stephen Jackson. In the tweet, he spoke out on the NBA and ESPN failing to use their platforms to amplify the 3-on-3 league.
“Appreciate you @DaTrillStak5. We definitely need everybody’s support. The @nba and @espn are doing everything in their powers to ignore or destroy @thebig3,” Cube wrote on Twitter.
