1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Business of Sports. COVID has been so

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: devastating and to see thirty eight thousand people of Funeray Park,

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: it was really emotional and rewarding. From the business side,

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: from ticket sales to jersey sale revenues are up. Everything

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: was really good as well as solids there, I realized

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: that at the beginning of twenty nineteen would be a

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: very unique opportunity in terms of a lot of contracts

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: being up at the same time and a lot of

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: exiting young wrestlers being available to go out and start

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: a wrestling company. The country is finally deeply getting the

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: memo about how amazing the sport is. I think the

12
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: sky's a limit for MLS. Bloomberg Business of Sports from

13
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio. This is the Bloomberg Business of Sports show,

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: where we explore the big money issues in the world

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: of sports. Michael barn I'm Scarlett Phill you know Mike Lynch,

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: and we have a lot to talk about and quite frankly,

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: there's no subtle way for me to put it. The

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: latest wave of COVID all hell is broken loose now

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of sports we got delays in the NBA,

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: the NFL, the NHL games are being postponed, UH n

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: C double A games, some games are being forfeited in basketball. Uh, Scarlett,

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: this is a mess. It's a mess. It's particularly a

23
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: mess for football, which we're in the final weeks of

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: the season. It has huge playoff implications. I believe three

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: games were canceled or postponed over the weekend. And you

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: have entire teams that seem to be down with COVID

27
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: or enough positive tests that they couldn't play. You really

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: wonder how they move forward. And the NFL has changed

29
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: it's the COVID protocol several times, and it's it's fascinating

30
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: because things are moving so quickly. Whatever policy or rules

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: they come up with is shut to be behind the

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: curve and Lynchy it is. This is a big thing

33
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: here because some teams, if they don't get this off,

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: uh and figure something out, we could see the forfeit

35
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: rule come in in the NFL. Yeah, that's the memo

36
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: that Roger Goodell sent out in July, and the Raiders

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: were citing that when they had to postpone their game

38
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: from Saturday, that doubleheader at four o'clock to play on Monday.

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: In Cleveland. He said, we don't have anybody in COVID protocol.

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: Look at the memo that came up from Roger Goodell.

41
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: If one team is unable to feel the team to

42
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: play both, that that game will be a forfeit. And

43
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: that's what the Raiders wanted. So the Raiders will be

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: this is Monday morning. The Raiders will be in five

45
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: o'clock this afternoon in Cleveland playing against the Browns. And

46
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: the question will be will Baker Mayfield be able to

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: play a quarterback or they'll be down to the third

48
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: string quarterback. And the NBA, they just everything is just

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: all scrambled. They had to call off some games Sunday night,

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: three games Cleveland at Atlanta, Denver at Brooklyn, and New

51
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Orleans at Philadelphia, and Scarlett. They're gonna postpone some of

52
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: these games and hopefully to play them later. Uh. But

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't know now what you can do. I mean,

54
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: they have been very stringent for the most part with

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: their COVID protocols. But what happens here? Do we have

56
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: to go back into the old NBA bubble? Yeah, it's

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: an experiment, UM and this is the NBA players vaccinated

58
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: to UM. We know that these a lot of these

59
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: are breakthrough cases, and it's it's a big question mark,

60
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: especially for the players who weren't vaccinated, and we're given

61
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: the okay to to come back in in some small measure.

62
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of Kyrie for instance, I ky Erie irving

63
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: he can play any road game Lynchi that he wants.

64
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: You know, the NBA came to an agreement late last

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: night on Sunday night with the Players Association. UH. They

66
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: now consigned players to ten day contracts without having that

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: whatever they're paying them affect the salary cap of the

68
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: luxury tax. And if you take, for instance, the Brooklyn Nets,

69
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: where I think ten players right now in COVID protocol,

70
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: that would cost them an extra five hundred thousand dollars

71
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: in salary cap finds and luxury taxes. So that always

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: ave so players are able to Teams are able to

73
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: sign replacement players for the for every person that's on

74
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: the protocol. In other words, of even five people in protocol,

75
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: you couldn't sign seven, you have to you can only

76
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: sign five or less. So that's kind of a little

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: bit of an elastic band for NBA teams to get

78
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: players that are eligible to be on on the floor. Um,

79
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: only six of the NBA players of vaccinated but only

80
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: have had their booster shots, So that's a little bit

81
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: of a concern. So we may see be see more

82
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: and more breakthrough cases there. And as for the NHL,

83
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: five teams have already shut down their operations. I mean

84
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: you can't even go to your facility and go in

85
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: there and and work out, or you can't take a

86
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: steam or a sawn or lift weights. Five teams are

87
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: shut down until after Christmas. You also have the added

88
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: complication in the NHL of teams being based in Canada

89
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: and travel between the U S and Canada. So the

90
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: NHL's postponing games between US teams and Canadian teams until December.

91
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: But come on, is it likely that this is going

92
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: to get resolved on December? Know? And what they don't

93
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: want to do is get get stuck in Canada because

94
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 1: if you you have to stay there for ten days

95
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: in quarantine before you're allowed to leave the country and

96
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: come back here. The other thing is being affected a

97
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: lot is the gambling lines. For instance, the uh now

98
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: you're talking language. Now we're talking about language. Now, we're

99
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: talking the business of sports. But going into Saturday. If

100
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: Saturday's game was played the Raiders in Browns, the Browns

101
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: worth two and a half point favorites. Within a few

102
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: hours they went to uh five and a half point

103
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: underdogs and eight points swing in a matter of minutes.

104
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: So if somebody lays down a bed on mondays, I

105
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: love the Browns in this game right here? Who wa

106
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: wa wa wait? And I want my money back. You know,

107
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: it's you know, tough luck, pal. Yeah, it's almost like

108
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: elongated in game betting because everything is fluctuating that in

109
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: real time as you're seeing it now, it's hard. I mean,

110
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,239
Speaker 1: COVID is throwing everything up in the air, and even

111
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: English soccer that could cause a paul Is for the season.

112
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: That's a big, big problem. Um. I think you need

113
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: fourteen players to start a match, and there was a

114
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: match this week and when they started with fourteen but

115
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: I think they were down to about seven and the

116
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: score was seven nil at the break, and the officials

117
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: actually called it off in the second half because this

118
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: thing could have turned into a fifteen nil game, and

119
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: which is almost like a mercy rule. So yeah, there,

120
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: it's you know, they usually have a English Premier does

121
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: not take a holiday break, they play right through in

122
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: the month of December. But it ramps up, right, Yeah,

123
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: it does ramp up baby, actually actually right, um, but

124
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: you know they've got about only about the players over

125
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: there in the Premier League are fully vaccinated. And of

126
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 1: course that I mean. We're also keeping it on whether

127
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: the UK decides to institute some kind of lockdown. They

128
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: pointedly declined to take that off the table, So if

129
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: there's another lockdown, you're looking at that affecting the finances

130
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: of each of these clubs, which count on being to

131
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: have people come in and watch the game's live. This

132
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: is a mess. And and I really thought, hey, we're

133
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: getting close to some of these seasons wrapping up the

134
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: the NFL, Hey we might we might get through this. Nope,

135
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: it didn't. It did not happen. It feels like it's

136
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: worse than before vaccinations were available. Yeah. Yeah, it's because

137
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: you have the breakthroughs. You have this o macron variant

138
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: and the only thing that the scientists are saying now

139
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: and I'm going by what the scientists are saying, if

140
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: you are vaccinated and you get the omicron variant, the

141
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: symptoms are milder. If you're vaccinated then the unvaccinated, and

142
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: the scientists are saying, if you're unvaccinated and you still

143
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: get this omicron variant, it's not good news. You also

144
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: wonder whether the NHL will let its players play in

145
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: the Olympics, which is coming up very quickly. I mean

146
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: that involves traveling to another country. I mean, if they

147
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: can't go to Canada right now to play a regularly

148
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: scheduled game, the Olympics seems like a pretty far stretch.

149
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see a decision made on

150
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: that very very very soon. Because we're inside i think

151
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: sixty days right now of the game's starting over in Beijing.

152
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: This diplomatic boycott may turn into unintentional boycott. UH Sports

Speaker 1: now called the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl. Boise State against

157
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: Central Michigan. UH. These teams were not invited. There was Automa.

158
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: It was an automatic placement by both of their leagues. UH.

159
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: CBS wanted no part of broadcasting a game with Barstool

160
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: Sports name on the Bowl, So bar Stool is going

161
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 1: to produce it themselves. It's going to be streamed. It's

162
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: the first Bowl game that's not going to be on television,

163
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: and they said that it will attract a younger and

164
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: newer audience for them. It's unclear how much, but the

165
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: payout is going to be for each team because bar

166
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: Stool is asking for their followers to make donations. So

167
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: now I read this morning that each team is guaranteed

168
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: three fifty thousand, but that pales in comparison to some

169
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: other Bowl games. And I'm not talking about the big

170
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: the four playoff games, which that money is just astronomical,

171
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: but something like the Outback Bowl each team gets six

172
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: million dollars, the Citrus Bowl, each team gets eight million dollars.

173
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: Nobody knows what what the payoff is going to be

174
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: in this game, and administrators at both universities have some

175
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 1: concerns with That's what bars When you say bar Stool,

176
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: what immediately comes to mind stands in the face of

177
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: what everything Polish students are striving for, um, that that

178
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: that bad that they've had some bad things happened by

179
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: at bar Stool Sports and a lot of schools don't

180
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: want their university affiliated with anything that has bar Stool

181
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: on it. What now, what happens if you're going for

182
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: the younger audience. I remember when I was a kid

183
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: watching you know, the Citrus Bowl. Uh you know, you know,

184
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: you had, you know, the All American team and all

185
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: this and that. Now I'm wondering what happens when you

186
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: bring in Barstools sports and a younger audience. Well, the

187
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: schools may not want to be affiliated with Barstool and

188
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: that brand, but I'm sure some fans wouldn't mind the

189
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: connection because they're exactly the audience that Barstool caters to.

190
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued as to what the games will look like

191
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: because there's gonna be a digital production that I'll use

192
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: thirty six cameras instead of the estimated sixteen it used

193
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: before when televised by CBS. So what are they going

194
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: to use the extra cameras for? I mean, is this

195
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: going to be more I mean, obviously it will be

196
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: more palatable for gen Z, but is this gonna look

197
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: a lot different? Is it going to be more participatory?

198
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm curious, See, I'd like to see a camera in

199
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: the helmet they put a camera in the helmet, the helmet, Yeah,

200
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 1: I would. I wouldn't mind watch, just to watch the

201
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: techno aology is what the old XFL wanted to do

202
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: with their coverage. Put a camera in the helmet, put

203
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: a camera in the shoes. Don't ask me. I still

204
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: say that's a cool theory. But I would like to

205
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: see that. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting. I mean the

206
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: Portnoy has he's he's been successful. Like him or detest him.

207
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: He's been very, very successful. And I actually went to

208
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: the same high school that he went to, Swampscott High

209
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: School in the North Shore. Of everyone. He was a

00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: couple of years behind me. It's true he's been to
