Jaylen Brown Denounces Kanye West and Drops Donda Sports

Jaylen Brown has made a statement about his decision to leave Donda Sports, owned, created, and, affiliated with the rapper formerly recognized as Kanye West. One of the first two pro athletes to sign with Kanye West's controversial sports focused marketing organization, “Donda Sports” , Jaylen Brown told the Boston Globe this Monday, October 24th, that he will stay with the company but still disagrees with Kanye West's recent comments. That relationship is now completely over, as Jaylen Brown revealed in a statement on Twitter. Another ex-Donda Sports affiliate athlete, and NFL athlete, Aaron Donald, has left the organization.

Ye, who has officially changed his name from Kanye West, has recently made anti-semitic statements in a great number of interviews. These statements have sparked outrage across many channels. Many celebrities and notable people have publicly made statements distancing themselves and disagreeing with “Donda” artist. Because of West's insults on Jews, an episode of LeBron James' roundtable show "The Shop" in which he was supposed to participate was canceled. Additionally, he has been dropped by many companies and entities such Adidas, Balenciaga, Vogue, Anna Wintour, his talent agency, CAA, lawyer, Instagram, Twitter, Stadiums, and documentary teams.

What is Highrise City?: A New Cities-Skylines Competitor [EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW]

Image
No new city-builders have tried to do the modern city building theme. While Tropico, Aven Colony, Frostpunk, Surviving Mars, Anno 1800, and Surviving the Aftermath all exist on their own as great simulation games, they are not truly based on building a modern day city.    [Exclusive Interview Below Game Overview] Modern city-building games have been in a drought, with the last major releases being Cities: Skylines and Simcity 2013. Almost 7 years have passed since Paradox published their competing product against Simcity, Cities: Skylines. It was a great game with minor issues that fixed and addressed many of the issues that the 2013 release of the legendary Simcity franchise contained. However, enough time has passed that Skylines has unfortunately been showing its age. But, until now, no game had the potential to improve on what Cities: Skylines now lacks. What new game is this? Highrise City. Highrise City is a new city-building simulation game that is going to be publi...

Was the Derrick White Trade Worth It For the Boston Celtics? Who is Derrick White?

Image
The Derrick White trade was a surprising one when it was first broken during the chaotic times of the trade deadline. Boston exchanged Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, and two picks for Derrick White. Since the trade, the Celtics have won 10 out of the last 12 games they’ve played. He has averaged about 10 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, and 1 block. Shortly after the trade, in an interview, head coach Ime Udoka said that “He checks a ton of boxes. He's a perfect fit on and off the court. A guy who's going to come right in and be selfless, work hard offensively and defensively. He'll do a lot of things for us -- another guy with good length who can add versatility to our group.” With their recent elevation of play, Udoka looks like he was right on the money about Derrick White. He has seemingly been an amazing addition to an already-amazing roster. It has been a few weeks since the trade, and now we can look back to see if this trade was worth it, at least in the short t...

Why is Minecraft Still Popular?

Image
Everyone knows of it, and everyone seems to have played it. Minecraft has been in the gaming world since before it’s official release, since 2009. The game’s official release was on November 18th, 2011. Minecraft has been in the mainstream media for a while, and during its peak was virtually everywhere. Eventually, the game lost a bit of that popular culture power, yet it has remained as a mainstay of the gaming industry, even having a significant resurgence during the quarantine of 2020.  Why is it that Minecraft has stayed so popular? Why does Minecraft seem to only have grown more and more, instead of slowly dying off in favor of a shiny new franchise or a sparkly new game? Well, the answer lies not only in the game itself, but the community that built itself around it.  Minecraft Origins Minecraft originally was released to the public in 2009 by Notch, the original creator of the legendary video game. It definitely wasn’t what we are able to play today. The early stage...
