Popular shoe and apparel brand Reebok may soon be under some new, well-known ownership. Rapper Percy “Master P” Miller told Eric Woodyard of ESPN on Monday that he is in negotiations along with retired NBA guard Baron Davis to acquire Reebok. The two would make the purchase through a SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) called Bull Horn Holdings Corp. (ticker symbol: BHSE). Woodyard adds that Reebok’s asking price from parent company Adidas is roughly $2.4 billion. Miller says they are “prepared financially” after a couple of months of negotiations. “These companies have been benefiting off us,” Miller said. “This could be history for this company going Black-owned … Imagine if Michael Jordan owned Reebok? That’s what I’m talking about making history.” Some folks on Twitter had funny reactions to the news: Master P’s history with sneakers doesn’t inspire confidence, but happy for him nonetheless pic.twitter.com/hQZrqj6Wig — Al (@CharizardLaw) December 28, 2020 Tell you what I went 7-11 the other day check this out out .

SHREVEPORT, La. -- A Shreveport Police Department training instructor who drew public fire last summer for his Facebook post about the death of George Floyd, has been terminated after another controversial post.Sources inside the SPD say Chief Ben Raymond fired Sgt. Brent Mason Monday morning. That was after a complaint about a Facebook post in October about a woman's actions during early voting. The post appears to have been scrubbed from Mason's account.Mason served a 90-day suspension after his Facebook post in May when he said the death of Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police was a mistake in technique -- not murder. There were public cries for Mason's firing at that time.We're told that his firing was automatic since 90 days is the maximum an officer can be put on leave in a calendar year.Chief Raymond declined comment, as he expects Mason to appeal to the civil service board.Mason told KTBS in a brief written comment about his firing, "It's all politics."

As LinkedIn continues to grow its user base, industry professionals are increasingly looking to the concept of social selling: promoting their work by way of promoting their personal brand. A social presence is becoming a necessity for networking in the industry — not just on LinkedIn but also through channels such as publications, podcasts, interviews, videos, etc. What has emerged from social media is a distinction between a company’s brand and a personal brand. LinkedIn, in particular, has an algorithm that favors a personal profile over a company profile, making the platform more about connecting people to people, not enterprises to people or other enterprises.
