Dear Magic: Please Stop Promoting Financial Predators!
Ryan Mack of Optimum Capital Management sounds off on Huffington Post about why Magic Johnson’s endorsement of Rent-A-Center conflicts with the role model’s standards. He wrote:
I scrolled down to see you bouncing the ball wearing the large smile that I grew up with. Then I began to see your face on television and hearing your voice on the radio telling people how great Rent-A-Center was. I knew full well that Rent-A-Center was a financial predator but I decided to go my own research to learn more about Rent-A-Center. I figured that I must be misinformed because a man like you who has taught and exemplified ownership as a principle of wealth creation, there had to be something more to Rent-A-Center that I must have missed.
