extracurricular shit?

not just the money management 101, and pay your taxes, but,

'call uber if you gonna be drainkin',
'make sure you have a licensed and bonded personal weed man / fall guy in the crew',
'don't bring your strap on the plane',
'these are the jawns that be at the team hotels',
'wear a damn rubber and get used to it',
'all your friends and fam ain't necessarily good for you',
'understand your pros and cons in every situation'.

seems like a needed curriculum.

social media = receipts. govern yourself accordingly.


disclaimer: if a dude is truly a sexual assaulter or rapist, i don't know if deterrence works.

but somebody in all these guys' lives needs to be having clear discussions with them about consent and propriety and power dynamics, etc..

peace & blessings,
