This is especially funny since he said being involved with the Sixers was holding fanatics back…good riddance [https://www.inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-michael-rubin-daryl-morey-mit-sloan-conference-20240301.html](https://www.inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-michael-rubin-daryl-morey-mit-sloan-conference-20240301.html)
This dude singlehandedly made all sports merchandise 175% more expensive, and killed mom and pops sports shops/modells just to be a fuck face rich asshole. Claims to be self made when all of his businesses were financed by his wealthy parents. Fuck this dude. And he was supposed to be the less douchey owner compared to Josh Harris 💀
I hate this dude. Such a jock sniffer and star f*cker
He is the worst person
Fuck this piece of shit greedy motherfucker, this is your whole business model to gobble up market share so you can jack up prices without any competition and cut costs on the quality
If only MLB had asked fanatics to plan a huge party in the Hamptons where every guest wears white. They would have knocked that shit out of the park.
Everything the racket of Nike and fanatics touches turns to utter shit. Somebody end these frauds careers.
It’s funny that every rich fuck that gets the spotlight seems to be some talentless nepobaby grifter who got their own version of “a small loan of a million dollars”.
I’m so glad this is finally getting the attention it needs. Rubin is trying to shift the blame saying they are doing what MLB wants. Fanatics has been garbage well before this. We the consumers knew this, but Fantatics doesn’t care as long as they have a monopoly on the market, the contracts with the leagues. Now actual players are saying this, hopefully the company’s reputation reaches a point of no return.
They really were not prepared to scale their jersey production. Eagles Kelly green are still awful and it’s been like 6 months!
Fanatics clothing is the worst quality clothing I’ve ever bought. Will never buy any of their literal shit again.
he’s really up there with the likes of elon and bezos as “guys who i’d most like to punch in the face”
This guy Rubin fucking sucks.
Fuck Rubin. Fuck Fanatics. Fuck every league for embracing them. Also fuck “New Philadelphia” and Chris Heck for good measure.
All of the musk-coke cocktails have gone to his brain. He thinks he’s Michael Corleone or some shit.
