My apologies for the audio issues guys! Currently using travel equipment

Fanatics is absolutely terrified of other college students doing what Marvin Harrison Jr just did.. And they should be because fanatics shouldn't be making money off a kid who's not even in the NFL yet... It's extremely predatory

[jdwest]

If someone says the contract is “just a formality” read it twice.

[GreasyWop]

These companies take advantage of the players. I hope MHJ sets a new standard.

[ChrisDMarsh]

MHJ is just protecting his image and controlling the amount of autographed memorabilia available to collectors. It's a good move financially for him.

What he's currently doing has nothing to do with the football side of things. He's still at OTA's and working towards being a great football player. Anything that he does off the field when it comes to his career is his business 💯. That should be for all of us, we should always make the best decision for us, and not because of what others want us to do or whats the norm.

Based on your report it sounds like Harrison Jr. Is already a smart businessman and his dad is a good mentor. When you hear “Just sign…it’s a formality”, “You can trust me” or (from a stranger) “my friend”, your alarm bells should be ringing.

Great for him. They've been exploiting these players for decades. It's about time these players recognize their worth and use it as leverage.

[Pounce]

They don’t want him to start a trend with other players. I love how this new generation is smart with contracts

[sliightdriizzle]

Good for him, honestly. I hate what EA has released for well over a decade now, they've been milking MUT with subpar gameplay and features for so long. The monopoly has to end

[Supra_Mickey]

NIL deals has changed the game for student athletes for sure

[Jag]

He’s just taking the bill belichick route nothing to see here

[pricexxi]

Marvin Harrison Jr and his dad beat Fanatics at a slient war against rising star NCAA athletes in these predatory deals. Now Fanatics is being petty and trying anything possible to deter Harrison Jr & his reputation after being one upped. Props to MHJ for beating Fanatics at their dirty games…they’ll respond to him beating their contract negotiations before addressing the MLB uniforms or the many league’s merchandise disaster.

[mikefowler]

I’ve been saying this for years, the weird monopoly that Fanatics has will ruin the sports merch industry, but it’s ruining the sports industry as a whole. Fanatics strange meteoric rise needs to be investigated. Good on MHJ for standing up for himself and not signing their deal.

Mike, this was a FANTASTIC breakdown of this story & it truly needs to be heard. I am 58 years old & I TOTALLY am a supporter of this generation of young folks. As a Black man in this country, when I, my parents, & my parent's parents, & so on were growing up, we were all taught & TOLD what our value was: this aided to hinder our self-esteem & therefore our progress within our own rights. Now THIS generation has broken from those sociological shackles & are telling everyone else what their value is, & telling it LOUDLY! All I can do is applaud them, offer whatever wisdom & support they need, & stay the hell outta their way so they can continue to make noise & moves. The reason I know they are making the right & necessary moves is bc the "Old Guard, " the "Good Ole Boy network, " the "Status Quo" CANNOT STAND these young folks of today.
Bravo to you Mike for highlighting this story & keep up the HIGH QUALITY work that you do.

Marvin Harrison Sr. is doing EXACTLY what a SMART, LOVING "FATHER" SHOULD be doing.

[gabeharlan]

You would think the US government would stop Fanatics from getting a monopoly

[boofe]

That’s a very good idea. Having your own website and selling your own memorabilia on your own terms. I would buy a lot more merch and probably wouldn’t buy from the nfl or fanatics anymore if everyone did that

[Punked_]

Respect for Marvin for holding out and paving a road for other future athletes, fanatics has been preying on easy money for 2/4 years of contracts for years

[Quiet-yx]

You note that Fanatics stated in a court filing that though Harrison "agreed to a term sheet" a contract was not signed.
Isn't Fanatics the same company involved with the MLB jersey fiasco?
