While many would’ve thought that Brandon Marshall was losing support, he just gained an endorsement from someone that was very unexpected. Russell Simmons surprisingly has now endorsed Brandon Marshall.
Do music and sports mix? In certain instances, they certainly do and in this case, Brandon Marshall has found a friend in businessman Russell Simmons. In case you’re wondering which endorsements Marshall lost, it was The Air Academy Federal Credit Union and CentruryLink. Who would’ve thought that your right to protest would cost you something? Marshall probably didn’t lose sleep over it but here’s what Simmons offered.
Shortly after news spread of the player’s losses, Russell Simmons made a business move via Instagram that seems hard to refuse. “Rushcard is in,” Simmons captioned the post. “We will find Brandon, make him an offer and make him a deal.” Simmons has stood behind the Black Lives Matter movement and rallied for new regulations against violent police practices.
What’s beautiful behind this movement is that Marshall is also taking it off the field. According to Vibe, he is meeting with Denver police chief Robert White.
