re: Arkansas should kill it in Football recruiting with NIL

I’ll let you in on a little secret, Walmart gives very little and doesn’t really care much about the state of Arkansas. They donate nothing to sports anymore and with the exception of one of the children putting some money into pet art projects they do very little for the state.

For as much wealth as they have they donate very little and I mean very little back to the state. While north west Arkansas is doing well and has become a very nice place to live it still is decades behind other areas in many ways due to the lack putting money back into the community.

For decades the roads leading into their tech building which houses something like 10 to 15 thousand employees was basically a single 2 lane road. Instead of helping the city by donating money to widening the road they told their employees to come in at different times of the day.. some would start work at 4am, 5am, 6am etc… this is the kind of simple minded bullshite with deal with, with Walmart.


There is a reason why Arkansas is still ranked dead last in almost every statistical category while at the same time having one of the worlds richest companies based out of here.

For some reason people in Arkansas are proud to be associated with Walmart but they truly don’t understand how much this company is taking advantage of the state with its low tax burden etc.


So no, Arkansas will never be able to compete with NIL, the state can’t compete in really anything to be honest.
