We got a lot to Happy 13 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: New Year everybody, but we explore the big many issues 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: in the world of sports. Got a lot to talk about. 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: You love talking about beer. Yes, this scares me. Now 16 00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: Cutter has World Cup and beer could be for six 17 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: pack as high as twenty six dollars. Ye, well, Muslim country, 18 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: so it's never been that easy to get a beer. 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: But they did double the tax on alcohol. You don't 20 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: see the hundred percent tax very often. You don't, you know, 21 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 1: not even to build build a facility for an NFL team. 22 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: You don't get the syntax of Vegas. That's how they're 23 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: they're going to pay for the Raiders. Now, I mean, 24 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: I get it. Yes it's a Muslim country, but still 25 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: you're hosting one of the biggest events in sports in 26 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: the world. You would think, hey, maybe no, no, you 27 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: don't think that. This is kind of a microcosm of 28 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: of what I mean. There's gonna have to be a 29 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: lot of of work done between the local government, between 30 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: uh FIFA. There's a lot about you know, what typically 31 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: happens during a World Cup event at the host country. 32 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: Um that that that does not jive with you know, 33 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: the rules on the ground and cutter and beer is 34 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: just one of them. But there's gonna have to be 35 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: a lot of negotiating and a lot of compromise. Um. 36 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: You know, there's been a lot of attention towards the 37 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: state's approach to homosexuality for example. You know, the FIFA 38 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: is going to have to work with the government on 39 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: the ground to try to find a middle ground to 40 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: make you know, the experience for people going. I mean, 41 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: let's not forget this is an event that you know, 42 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: people pay a lot of generally pay a lot of 43 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: money to go to UM. They're gonna have to work 44 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: to make the experience on the ground a little bit 45 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: closer to to to what the experience has been in 46 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: other countries. As pointed out by the Time Story, the 47 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: new prices apply only to foreigners living and cutter who 48 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: have valid permits to buy alcohol. It's even harder if 49 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: you're just visiting. It's almost like going to Salt Lake. 50 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: You have to join the drinking club years and years ago. 51 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: Again to salt Lake. When you go to salt Lake, well, 52 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: I should say this is many many years ago. I 53 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: don't remember having been there recently. But you could not 54 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: go to a restaurant and buy a beer unless you 55 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: had a little card that said you joined the drinking 56 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: clubs like five bucks. You had to join what. Yeah, 57 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah, absolutely, I think that's changed now. 58 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: It might it might have might, I don't know. But 59 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: when I was there, I mean, when when we're the 60 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: Jazz in the finals that I'll tell you. I mean, 61 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. Stockton was dishing to Malone. So 62 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: when Stockton was dishing to Malone, you had to go 63 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: and you had to I think it was five dollars 64 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: to join the drinking club. You know what, come to 65 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: think about it, because I was in a bowling tournament 66 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City and we go many moons ago 67 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, cannot be as good as Michael Barr 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City. We were in a bowling tournament. 69 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: It was great, babycs man, almighty, it was beautiful man, 70 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: But we couldn't get a b You have theme music, 71 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson moving right. Dick Sporting Goods, they're going to 72 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: end Team USA Olympic sponsorship. Yeah. Dix is the first, 73 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: the first of the U s o C S twenty 74 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: two partners that has at least changed it's UH its 75 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: relationship with the organization UH in the months following UH 76 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: pretty ugly report about about us o C and its 77 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: highest level executives being aware of Larry Nasser's UH sexual 78 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: misconduct years before it actually came out. Dick is electing 79 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: not to renew the deal after it expired at the 80 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: end of the year. UM. It's not a huge in 81 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: terms of USC partners, it's not the biggest, but it 82 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: was certainly a high profile one. You know, they had 83 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: that program where they were hiring. You know, dozens of 84 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: Olympic hopefuls who were able to work at dick Shop's 85 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: kind of on part time basis. Home people did the 86 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: same thing. Yeah, while they were training. Um uh and yeah, 87 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: this opens up a new category right now for the 88 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: U s OC. Something that you know, the folks out 89 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: in l A. I would imagine actually aren't maybe aren't 90 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: even upset about right being able to to start from 91 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: scratch um in hiring or and finding a new partner, 92 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: um that will be the official sporting goods partner, especially 93 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: heading into an Olympic cycle, not this next one, but 94 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: the one after that, heading into heading into l A. 95 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: That could be big money. Yeah. I mean that is 96 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: a category that you think there would be many rushing 97 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: to fill. Even with the problem gymnastics in the U 98 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: s o C, this is still the Olympics, and that's 99 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: a category you want the association with the platinum premium brand. Yeah. 100 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: The official the official reason given by by Dick's executives 101 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: was that it was a new investment strategy, I believe 102 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: is how they coined it. They did not mention publicly 103 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: anything having to do with Larry Nasser and the way 104 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: the U s C has handled it. They also did 105 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: mention that all the athletes in there in that in 106 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: that job training program have all been contacted and have 107 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: been offered at least an opportunity to continue in some 108 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: capacity working slash training cutting everybody free. Yeah, but yeah, 109 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: this is the first change. I've reached out to all 110 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: twenty two companies right after the Ropes and Gray report 111 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: that came out, asking hey, I mean, does this change 112 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: anything about your relationship with the U s OC. Never 113 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: heard about from any of them. Um, but Dix has 114 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: at least been the first related or not is the 115 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: is the first to change. It's where they ship with 116 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: you and saying let's not forget I mean, if you're 117 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: the U s o C, a huge bulk of the 118 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: revenue you make comes from partnerships. The reason USA Gymnastics 119 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: went bankrupt is because they lost all their partners. You 120 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: know in the Olympic movement that these corporate sponsorships are 121 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: a huge, huge deal, certainly more so than if a 122 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, college football team lost all of its uh 123 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: all of its sponsors. What you said, you said in 124 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: your story that in the four year cycle from that, 125 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 1: the U s OC received three eight seven million dollars 126 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: from corporate partners was of its total revenue. Yeah. Yeah, 127 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: so it's it's right up there, and with you know, 128 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: your TV deal as as a lifeblood of your organization. 129 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: Give me a guess, I've been next contract in that 130 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: category average annual hall greater than or less than. I 131 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: would think it would be greater than going up. Yeah. 132 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: I mean the fact that you know we're gonna have 133 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: Olympics here in the US, I would imagine, I mean, 134 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: is such a huge driver. And I think that that 135 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: if they haven't already, I mean, the Tokyo did a 136 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: huge job with sponsors. Um that the Olympics here are 137 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: going to shatter all the revenue marketing. It is the 138 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: number one exactly everything. The infrastructure is so set up here, 139 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: it's so easy. Um, l A obviously one of the 140 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: top two biggest media markets in the country. Um, it's 141 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: all going to come together for them for sure. Let's 142 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: talk about soccer, and let's talk about Captain money Banks 143 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: Christian Yeah, it is now the most expensive American player. 144 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: He is going to join Chelsea and Chelsea has paid 145 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: the equivalent of seventy three million dollars million dollars for 146 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: Christian Policitch. That puts some expectations, but important to note 147 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: that he's going to finish the season with bruci Adortmund, 148 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: so the pressure on a mid season transfer won't be there. 149 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: There in first place, by the way, in the Bundesliga, 150 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: so they were saying, we're not going to get rid 151 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: of and we think he'll finish strong and and help 152 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: us win the Bundesliga. This is as high profile as 153 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: he gets. This is an American player, not I mean, 154 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: not at his peak yet Admittedly he says he's gonna 155 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: get better. Can I throw some fun stuff here? Like 156 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: this is like one of those notes that you have 157 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: to get into the show, because I've got one here too. 158 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: Is the third highest transfer fee from somebody, Okay, third 159 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: highest transfer fee for plenty per player twenty or younger, 160 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: carab and names and suck. But with that comes some 161 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: serious pressure. Now he has to deliver on the world's 162 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: biggest day. Sure, Yeah, the thing I was gonna say, 163 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: as you mentioned bar, he's the He's the most expensive 164 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: US player ever. If you take two through eight on 165 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: that list, this to seventy three million dollars is more 166 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: than all of those combined. Um so certainly a new 167 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: stratosphere of signing from an American. Do you think that 168 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 1: this changes in any way. I mean, NBC has the 169 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: rights to the Premier League here, h Fox has the 170 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: rights to the Bundest League. I don' don't know if 171 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: Dortmund's games get an outsized viewership here in the US, 172 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: because you know, the future of American soccer is Byron 173 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: has made an effort to reach the New York US market. 174 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: We know Barsta has made that effort more and more 175 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: top teams. I don't know if Dortmund is on that 176 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: scale yet, but more and more teams have tried that. 177 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 1: This certainly will not hurt Chelsea. No, sure, yeah, I 178 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: guess I'm asking if do you think that Americans watch 179 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: Dortmund games because is playing. I should watch that, And 180 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: do you think that that in some ways will transfer 181 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: to more Americans watching NBC on a Saturday morning when 182 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: Chelsea's playing because the guy who's the best soccer player 183 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: from our country without the data on on the Bruce 184 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: your dortmunt I say no, yeah, I think Chelsea. I 185 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: say a little bit. Yeah, I have to okay, I 186 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: gotta I have to do I because it goes back 187 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: to that argument we had about the baseball and will 188 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: you watch the Yankees if there are no names on 189 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: the Yankees? Or will you watch the Yankees because of 190 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: the names and people are gonna watch soccer and Chelsea 191 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: because of the name. Well you agree because of Chelsea, 192 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: not because Christian politic is there.
