Sir Lucas, We Hardly Knew You
As Spike reported last night, the Sixers have confirmed to us that they have terminated their partnership with Color Star Technology due to a breach of contract.
The Sixers had paused the partnership around the start of the new year with some concern, and had asked Color Star to address those concerns. Was one of the concerns their entire existence? We'll never know.
In recent days, Color Star started promoting things (like hanging out with Sixers players in the Metaverse) that were not part of the agreement. The Sixers told Color Star the deal was over and they will not be revisiting it.
What a wild ride. If you missed any of this thing that would only happen to the Sixers, the best pods are:
The first one we did with CJ's amazing deep dive.
The one we did with JR Mailey of The Sentry that is an even deeper dive.
There are also a few pieces that are excellent on The Defector about the entire situation. We appreciate their saying of the name in the most recent.
Thanks to JR Mailey, our own Young CJ, and The Defector.
Does this get its own chapter in the Ricky telling of the Sixers book? Yes it does. Right after the bagel chapter.
New pod on Sunday! We'll definitely discuss.
