purses are going to be insane, yes. i'd bet on some amount of guaranteed money for showing up too. they're going to get paid. but they also just kind of have to eat it. what are they going to do otherwise? there's no other league to play in.
I’m still waiting on them to do what’s right to Dave Meltzer for giving that awful Jericho-Cole match 3.25 stars
Cant wait to listen to Soly spin this. How he saw it coming all along and how it really was inevitable.
Don't think they want to be involved with a salary cap. An MLB team makes sense. Could buy the Marlins and run the league at a loss.
MLB would never let them in. (I probably shouldn't say never) I'm talking about starting a rival league and offering players insane salaries.
If you need me to substantiate my post then you are also stupid on multiple levels. I don't argue with stupid people, but let me introduce you to my buddy steamengine , you two will get along.
the new CBA really sucks for NBA players by most of what we’ve found out about it, maybe they try to target the biggest basketball stars
Buy one of these new football startups then throw insane money at guys coming out of college, shit high school.
right, the FTC and DOJ were already investigating the PGA Tour on its own. This merger will bring heightened scrutiny of not just the PGAT but now the new entity. What I posted this morning...
NFL, seeing the chuds who cried about kneeling for the national anthem contradict themselves into an oblivion would be good stuff.
If this were a meritocracy, you’d be right. But it’s not, so when you’re on the inside, have proximity to power, and utility, there’s very little to obstruct you from these types of outcomes - unless you piss off the wrong people or your utility runs out.
do they care about the NFL? I thought basketball would be the choice because I think it's the most popular worldwide of the American big 4 and with only 5 guys on the court at a time, you can really put together attractive teams quickly if you can get people to defect.
Do the Saudi’s give a shit about American football? Seems they are into sports with global appeal like golf, soccer, F1, even WWE. Maybe some Saudi prince will go to school at USC or something and get into it.
