Sure they are. The NBA is the most popular league in China, and more people watch the NBA finals in China than in the US. Also, I'd like to see some citations on your dollar numbers, since it's been estimated that tencent is paying 300m per year just for the streaming rights in China. https://www.forbes.com/sites/isabeltogoh/2019/10/14/tencent-resumes-streaming-nba-games-as-china-moves-to-cool-row/?sh=782d34956cb3 It has only been relatively recently that US sports have really tried to start expanding overseas markets, for obvious reasons (they don't really need to). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes'_list_of_the_most_valuable_sports_teams#2020 I'm not sure I follow the argument about playing games internationally either. Notre Dame plays college football games overseas... if you could "buy" their brand, it would be valued over $1b. I don't think they are hurting.

That making a comeback, is it?

This really shouldn't be understated. As someone who uses a LMS daily, making these accommodations for blind students (I've had at least one each of the last 3 years) can be very difficult.

I read it differently, but that's fair.

Did you read the first article? Quote: "I agree completely, and that’s why I was arguing that Trump’s incompetence, which reflects his inability to concentrate on substantive issues and to talk about those issues in rational, legal language, is a cause of great trouble. You have an individual who is pursuing policies that are fundamentally flawed, and he’s doing it in an incompetent way."

You a big fan of civil forfeitures?

So you didn't know what it was, and just googled it and regurgitated the first result. It is an extension of the Great Man Theory. That theory has been eschewed for over 100 years. Evidence: First google result is this - https://definitions.uslegal.com/b/bad-man-theory/ EDIT: It is interesting that you would support that interpretation, instead of the "history from below" interpretation.

Write a book and peddle it on facebook. You'll be worth more than the pet rock guy in a couple of weeks. Just need need to superimpose it over a girl in leggings doing squats.

Well not too distant future, but like I said, just win and make it all irrelevant.

On the final match day if the following is true, then finishing 1pt above the team currently in 18th won't matter. A 17th - 17pts B 18th - 13pts C 19th - 11pts D 20th - 10pts Teams ABD lose, team C wins. BCD still get relegated, even though they passed the team in 18th by a point on the final day. Being in the relegation zone, you need to win enough to drag another team into the bottom three to escape. Of course, just win some games, starting with Everton, so nobody has to talk about this tiresome stuff.

He's saying that in the current position, to gain safety you will need to overtake the team in 17th place, which is not the same as gaining 1 point more than the team in 18th place, because that won't necessarily put you in 17th. It will just rearrange the deck chairs of the teams in relegation.

Maybe we just need to W A I T for it.

25% revenue sharing for club sponsorship deals.

Interesting read, thanks. This had me laughing though "The elite teams of western Europe are stocked with stars drawn from Africa, South America and all points in between. "Are there many stars from the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific oceans?

Read through it twice and was trying to figure out if I made some crazy statement pages ago

Not sure why you quoted me.

Was trying to be generous

This reads like someone quoted a terrible vacation guide book. Edit: this might be partially true, with games being shown in the AM before college football (saturday) and NFL (sunday) games.

I have to come back to this. If someone told Bills fans they had to spend $100 a month to watch their local team, Roger Goodell would be getting powerbombed through a folding table.

Probably that, and more ad revenue. Companies will pay more to advertise here. Part of the reason the tampa bay rays are worth 3x as much as NUFC. Something that is getting lost in all of this is that selling targeted ads on a streaming service are worth more than generic ads on a larger broadcast. Also, the teams would be able to monetize the data they get from a team owned streaming service. That is where the big money would come.

Sure but it is easily worth it for the bigger clubs if they get to recoup all the revenue from it. There are colleges in the US with their own networks (Texas).

Meant on tv, and holy shit at the bolded. You guys are getting taken for a ride.

It is pretty easy, the reason they haven't is that they (I assume) don't control their broadcast rights for PL games. NESN and YES are huge money makers for the red sox and yankees, and they were allowed to create those channels because of the way MLB broadcast rights were handled.

Biggest reason I haven't bought it. I'm a red sox fan, and every game against the cubs, white sox, brewers, twins, royals, and cards are blacked out for my region, even though we only get the white sox games locally.
