Bomani rules. His time down in Miami with LeBatard was some of the best sports discussion around.

Kind of surprised Felix wasn’t on the interview considering this week’s Game Theory was focused on Jake Paul’s combat sports career and related scamming. But it was a fun intersection of my interests nonetheless.

Hearing Bomani talk about how hosed health insurance can be for new players is giving me a whole new reason to despise NFL and football. Good episode so far (I'm only about 30 minutes into it).

I've joked that horse racing is called "the sport of kings" because the "winner" didn't lift a finger to do any of the work involved in winning at all. Nice to see the NFL is the same way.

Famously his son is the poorest NFL owner Chargers: Apartments Rams: also Walmart, but married into it Cardinals: Inherited from grandfather who was a mob lawyer tied to Al Capone Seahawks: Paul Allen’s family 49ers: Construction

Hunter S. Thompson's last book includes an essay about how football sucks now because the teams are purely status symbols for owners who don't even much care if the team wins or loses. They're buying a skybox that comes with a football team.

The Chiefs' ownership story is so dumb. The Hunts got their money from oil fields won in a loving poker game. The episode was great. I wish the whole thing had been about labor and sports, but I'll take it.

Good ep. Love it when they get experts on and talk about their interesting areas of expertise as long as it's not some loving crank talking about how the Mafia killed JFK or whatever.Henchman of Santa posted:Just for fun, here’s where all the NFL owners got their money: The Packers are the people's team and thus the only moral choice to root for, but also gently caress the Packers.

Love the good doctor but he was very mistaken if he thought having an owner be a genuine fan helps My home city's NHL team is owned by the local failson of a slumlord and he's super involved in the team and it's a gong show of bad decisions

His podcast, The Right Time, has been brilliant for years, and only slightly less so if you're not interested in sports.

Americans riot when their sports team wins. France riots when their neoliberal politicians try to attack their unions or benefits. France clearly wins that one.

i say swears online posted:I thought the shares didn't actually confer ownership or voting rights I think there's a board of trustees and then everyone else just gets a piece of paper and maybe gets notified of what happened at league meetings. Re: owners who are also fans, the Mavericks were truly abysmal before Mark Cuban bought them and have been consistently solid since then with one title and another finals appearance to speak of. But like anything in sports there's an element of luck to it. Nobody thought Dirk Nowitzki was going to be that good, and Luka Doncic fell into their laps because the Suns wanted a local guy and the Kings are arguably the worst-run organization in American sports. Not to mention the scrutiny their office culture has come under for gross sex stuff. Henchman of Santa fucked around with this message at 18:52 on Feb 7, 2023 |

I think it was Jon Bois who talked about how repellent the NFL draft is in how it talks about the players. It was something like, the MLB draft is still wrapped in that air of patriotism, the NBA draft has a genuine aspect of turning talented young men into world class athletes, but the NFL draft is the closest thing you get to the an old fashioned public slave auction.

It's a combination of that and not really needing to be accountable to anyone else, at least not as long as the franchise turns a profit whether the team wins, loses, and/or hate their lives.

At the 1924 Olympics, the French spectators rioted because the American rugby team, a team composed of Stanford football players, won the gold medal against France in the final. The French fans also threw bottles and garbage at the American players and it was so bad that rugby has not been included at the Olympics ever since. There was also only 3 teams but it was a situation where the Americans would have likely been lynched if the police didn't move in and get the team out of there. Sports rioting is a lot different in France and most of Europe because they have ultra groups for soccer/football, which are essentially gangs, and it's mostly about settling scores between groups and political factions. Just far left and far right, often nationalist, street gangs sometimes literally murdering each other with a sports game as a pretext. It's one of the big reasons most western European countries have turned stadiums into panopticon police zones and done everything they can to stop ultra groups from bringing in flares or fighting over banners. You don't get that in the US so it's usually just the drunken mayhem of Eagles fans for examples and not a return to the chariot races of Constantinople.
