Democracy is like a tambourine - not everyone can be trusted with it.


Doesn't ESPN just get a stake in a sports book? Notjing matters anymore but the league having an actual investment in a gambling op seems, well

There's now NFL-branded slot machines. Once major sports decided that gambling was an untapped revenue stream/was no longer such a bad thing/Vegas was no longer the Forbidden City, they went all in.

"Amazon to invest in Diamond Sports as part of bankruptcy deal": https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/39327963/amazon-invest-diamond-sports-part-bankruptcy-deal

quote:

Under the terms of the restructuring agreement, Amazon will make a minority investment in Diamond and enter into a commercial arrangement to provide access to Diamond's content via Prime Video.

Customers will be able to access their local team's content on Prime Video channels where Diamond has rights. Pricing and availability will be announced at a later date. Regional sports content will also remain available on cable and satellite providers.

I'm cautious and skeptical but intrigued. The current deal is so bad I just have to pirate, so Amazon couldn't be worse.

I have to pirate to watch Pels games against Dallas since I live in north Texas. When we go to west Texas to visit my partner's family, I have to pirate to watch the Pels against any of Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio. They aren't over the air, aren't on Hulu, and are blacked out on League Pass.

I have League Pass free with my ticket package, and judicious clearing of my cache/history is enough to get my VPN to fool it. Would be nice to avoid the rigamarole, though, especially if it comes with Prime instead of being an extra fee.

I'm guessing it'll be an extra fee but if it's reasonable that's still a big win.

AEW isn’t doing great right now so if any group could benefit from it it might actually be TNA
