Remember the movie, “The Fan?”

Until something like that happens in sports when an athlete gets assaulted or killed because of an obsessed gambler, the #SportsBiz industry will keep counting money.

I wonder if DAZN wants to do what TAB want to do, take sports, and leave the rest

Sports will eventually greed itself to death.

Rights fees, licensing fees, tickets, merch, food, parking, subscriptions, sponsorships and on and on … at some point they’re gonna find the threshold. When they do, it’s gonna be a real jolt to the #SportsBiz system.

It's interesting and somewhat refreshing to see the rise of football cards again over recent years. I think the popularity will grow as various generations turn back to physical items like games, CDs, cards etc as opposed to everything being digitally owned. A nice touch from Werder. #SportsBiz

Want to know what my next fear is?

Too sells this club to some bullshit private equity group that doesn’t give a damn and this gets worse.

It’s almost predictable and it terrifies me.
