Yeah, 84 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: they'll conceive they have to, right. 85 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: And if you're adding other teams, you've got the millions 86 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: and millions out of their teams and everything you got 87 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: to play that, you know, you don't have anything if 88 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: you don't have the the athletes. 89 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, and what the disparity comes is that the like 90 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 3: what the percentage of what the players are being paid 91 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: compared to what like executives and stuff like that are 92 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 3: getting paid, right, you know? 93 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: And then when you. 94 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 3: Start seeing these glaring discrepancies, you're like, Okay, something that's 95 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 3: not right. 96 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: And allegedly the commissioners when asked about like Caitlyn Clark, 97 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 2: she's like, listen, Kitlyn Clarks, just lucky that she's making 98 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 2: the sixty million that she's making. 99 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: Outside of That's not the right answer, is it. Yeah, 100 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: that's not all. Lightning were on the ice yesterday. 101 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 3: They dropped their matchup versus the Capitals in overtime, three 102 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 3: to two. And then the champions Florida Panthers hit the 103 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 3: ice tonight versus the Red Wings. That's going to be 104 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 3: a seven o'clock start for that game or match, so 105 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 3: keep an eye out for that and some interesting developments Russ. 106 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 3: And then this is again guys being able to extend. 107 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: Their basketball careers. 108 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook looks to take a page out of the 109 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 3: Dwight Howard book. Was he doing and he's having a 110 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: bunch of kids? No, no, no, no, And so far as 111 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 3: trying to extend his league. He's playing basketball. He's looking 112 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 3: at an offer, a ridiculous offer, insane offer that the 113 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 3: ix Yang Flying Tigers of the China Professional Basketball League 114 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,119 Speaker 3: have made him to come out there and play. 115 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: So if an older player for the NBA, you can 116 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: go to China and be like a superstar, right, Oh yeah, 117 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 2: because I mean obviously we have. 118 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: A lot of taller players. The uh no, uh, I 119 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: like the fact you were going to answer it though 120 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: they had like at one time, Yeah, I mean was 121 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: I was just drying. I know. 122 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 3: So he's being offered ten point nine million, that was. 123 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: The funniest thing. He got so frustrated was going to 124 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: answer me. 125 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 3: So so the deal that he's being offered is about 126 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 3: ten million dollars. 127 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, ten million. 128 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 3: Dollars more than than what Sacramento Kings could offer him. 129 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 3: So again, it's a pretty lucrative deal. And what Ryan, 130 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 3: I'm curious how you guys feel about this. And again 131 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 3: we're talking in how much gambling has infiltrated all sport 132 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: and how much it's accessible and how easy it's accessible, and. 133 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: It's just accepted now. 134 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 2: It used to be gambling was like, oh this is 135 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: a dirty thing. You don't gamble and now it's like, yes, 136 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 2: we all gamble, it's on our phone to gamble all 137 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: you went. 138 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: Damn. 139 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 3: Rolling Stone had a really incredible piece on how much 140 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 3: money the Americans have spent on gambling and how easy 141 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: it is to because it's on your phone, Ryan to 142 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 3: echo this. 143 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, Ryan does it all the time. Yeah. 144 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 3: How do you guys? How does this fall on? How 145 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: does this fall on you when you hear this? Okay, 146 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 3: So the NCAA has not fully adopted a proposal to 147 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 3: allow betting on professional sports. So right now, if you're 148 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 3: an athlete in college on scholarship or nil money or whatever, 149 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 3: technically speaking, you're not supposed to be gambling, right right. 150 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 3: So the Division one Administrative Committe approved a proposal, but 151 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 3: it still requires approval from Division too and Division three 152 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 3: to take effect. But if approved, student athletes and staff 153 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 3: would be permitted to bet on professional sports, but not 154 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 3: on college competitions. This is the change aims to align 155 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: college athletes with their peers, allow the NCAA to focus 156 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 3: on protecting college game integrity, and provide a platform for 157 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 3: athletes to seek help if they are gambled, if they 158 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: have a gambling problem. How does that land on you 159 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 3: when you hear that, Ryan. 160 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 5: I think it's so easy for this to be like 161 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 5: taking advantage of Again.

And 206 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 3: then we'll wrap this up with this just another one 207 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: of these fun stories that we love where private equity 208 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 3: firms are infiltrating all the things that we love and 209 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 3: we hold near and dear to our hearts. The New 210 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 3: England Patriots have sold in minority state to private equity 211 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 3: firm sixth Street and investor Dean Metropolis by making the 212 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 3: team's first outside investment owner. Robert Kraft is selling eight 213 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 3: percent stake value at over nine billion dollars to six Street, 214 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: purchased at a three percent stake. 215 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: So basically, uh, this is the first. 216 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 3: Uh, there's like four or five teams now that are 217 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 3: have opened their doors or open the door for private 218 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 3: equity firms to invest in these teams. 219 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: So the Patriots are the most recent. So is that 220 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: is that bad for any reason? And I can't think 221 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: of one. Well, it's bad for the fans. 222 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 5: Why because when private equity comes in, like there's already 223 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 5: fans that are already like like longtime fans that are 224 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 5: already like this is my last season buying season tickets 225 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 5: because they're being forced out. Because if you get private 226 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 5: equity in there, private equities job is going to return, 227 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 5: get a return and raise prices. Yeah, and so the 228 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 5: normal fan, your everyday fan, you're Joe the Plumber, is 229 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 5: going to get priced out of this. 230 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: Oh, I got you. I think already kind of they are? 231 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 4: They already are. 232 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, try try to get tickets for the Buccaneers.

But like, 235 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 5: what are you gonna do when you don't have any 236 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 5: real fans left the people that have been like generational 237 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 5: supporters of your team. 238 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 3: That's and again across all sports, not just NFL.
