Lockback posted:I feel like it's a bit of a stretch to flame someone for using a Foghorn Leghorn saying, but a dude commenting on NBA for a living should probably know better. "I've got black friends. I employ black people. I don't employ them because they are black; I employ them because they are the best people who applied for the cotton-picking job." Nissin Cup Nudist posted:'I'm gonna assume "cotton-picking" is a regional dialect of "cherry-picking," which would be a valid comment for Russ' board hunting It is not

Lockback posted:Both Chicago and Portland have the "liberal city dominating the mostly red rest of the state", and there's lots on outrage and money you can wring from that if you stir the pot enough isn't that true of every big city in the US though? The electoral map is just a sea of red counties around blue islands where most of the actual people live.

Panzeh posted:The PGA really isn't pleased with the possibility of a drawn out antitrust lawsuit against them from someone with a lot of money. Honestly, LIV might have a point by the law, with the PGA's policies being anti-competitive. Every major North American sports league is anticompetitive and wants to avoid a lawsuit that would make them play by rules, except the MLB who get the ignore the rules because the court REALLY liked baseball in the 20s

CharlestheHammer posted:They seem to be going more for a generalized sports package and AEW is kind of to niche to do a lot All the major streaming services are likely profitable outside of creating “original content”, and the ones with ads are probably profitable even then. The problem at wb-discovery is that they are 50 billion in debt, not that they aren’t making any money

Mike_V posted:Well, this is the problem because all of those legacy companies wanted to follow the Netflix model, but forgot they weren't first movers (and also provided the grist for the Netflix mill for 10 years) and decided to spend $x,000,000,000 per year on original programming and movies while also charging way below market rates (except for HBO Max). You also sort of have to have original stuff to acquire subscribers; library content is for retention, but acquisition does require new things. Oh absolutely on the latter (they made this bed by overinvesting in production, and they’re ruining good services by demanding gigantic returns on what by nature is going to be a slow and steady money maker) but you don’t need “acquisition” to be profitable nor am I convinced new content is the only way to drive it. Criterion is making money, Arrow is making money, and they are just rotating libraries and getting licenses on older content. The problem is the gulf between what streaming works for (steady long term income) and what coked up executives want (giant influxes of cash so they can cash checks and bail before it collapses).

RandomHodge posted:100% this, another reason why it’s funny to imply people just want cheerleaders as announcers. Most of them just complain about everything i just want an nfl level of positivity, where bad plays or mistakes are criticized but the announcers don't openly poo poo on the concept of a given matchup or an entire generation of players/playstyles and negative comments don't make up 50% of the airtime

harperdc posted:I really think we’ll look back in a decade or two and see this period of time as similar to the Magic-Bird era, especially if Clark and Reese have as big of careers in the WNBA as the expectations would have you believe. Reese was the 7th overall pick, not saying it's impossible but the expectations for her are not that gigantic. She didn't even go in the top half of the first round.

Isentropy posted:It should be. I can't see how they see other leagues losing money because no one wants to subscribe to 7 services and want that I would bet most people are subscribed to 5+ streaming services and don’t even remember 2 of them. Most people don’t care and it’s going to be accepted practice to have 10 streaming services and pay cable prices again soon
