Bloomberg Business of Sports from 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio. This is the Bloomberg Business of Sports show. 14 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: But we explore the big money issues in the world 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: of sports on Michael barn you know Mike Lynch. Coming 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: up today, we'll discuss Jerry West demanding an apology for 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: his sport trail, HBO's winning time, and Wimbledon banning Russian 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: tennis players in this year's championships. But first let's begin 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: in with the Oakland A's and we'll start with that, 20 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: My goodness, the crowd was teeny. This hasn't happened in 21 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: forty two years. Uh, the A's they were playing the Orioles, 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: and that the A's one to one playing in Oakland. 23 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,639 Speaker 1: But the crowd size, and I'll give the exact number, 24 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: three thousand, seven hundred forty eight. That's the smallest at 25 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: the Colosseum in since what nineteen eighty? Oh my goodness, 26 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: lend you what happened? Well, I think this is a 27 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: residue of a number of things that have happened over 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. A the Raiders moving out 29 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: of that stadium to Las Vegas. B the Warriors moving 30 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: out of the Oracle Arena, which abuts of the stadium 31 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: to downtown San Francisco. And I think people are just 32 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: waiting for the final shoot of fall. There's no secret 33 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: at all that Las Vegas wants the Oakland A's, and 34 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: people are saying, you know what, this team has abandoned us, 35 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: So we're going to abandon this team. That is a 36 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: shame because I always like the apple Letics. Whether you 37 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: call them the Athletics or whether you called them the A's, 38 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: they were still always exciting to watch. With so many 39 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: things you talk about moneyball, and I can go on 40 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: and on and on and but boy, to have that 41 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: small of a crowd is just At first I thought, well, 42 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: you know, is the weather. I'm thinking no, because it's 43 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and I not gonna have a weather problem. 44 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. In Oakland, rather, you're not gonna have a problem. 45 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: But it's sad with the news of the pitch clock 46 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: coming in. By the way, that's really quick. I'll mention 47 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: that the pitch clocks is shaving about twenty minutes off 48 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: minor league games, while oh, let's say that major League 49 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: Baseball might introduce it in you know, this is incredible. 50 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: Of the average time was a little over three hours 51 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: before this. Now the average time is down around two 52 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: thirty nine. It's it's a great concept. Fourteen seconds when 53 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: the bases are empty, eighteen seconds if there's a person 54 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: on base. One game was played in an hour in 55 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: fifty nine minutes, and next year major League Baseball, with 56 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: a forty five day advanced notice, can implement the pitch clock. 57 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: They don't need to get one year approval from the 58 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: Players Association. That was part of the recent collective bargaining agreement. 59 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: This next story, it is a very serious story. Russian 60 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: players banned from competing at Wimbledon, and the reasons why 61 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: that have been said are obvious. Yeah. Um, we saw 62 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: in the Boston Marathon here a couple of days ago, 63 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: no Russian Belarus runners were allowed to compete in the 64 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: Boston Marathon. There's been sanctions all over the world, and 65 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: now Wimbledon, where it's really kind of a slow time 66 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: of the year, baseball's approaching, it's it's all star break. 67 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: The NBA has done, the NHL has done in all 68 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: eyes are on Wimbledon and Belarus and Russian players will 69 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: not be able to compete in. You know, Medvedev is 70 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: the number two player in the world, Rublev is the 71 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: number eight player in the world. And it's a huge, 72 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: huge stage. It's an international stage, and this will be 73 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: it will impact the world standings, um money, prize money, um. 74 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: And also it's a political stagy men as well. And 75 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if it's probably won't be Jess, Wimbledon. I mean, 76 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: this is going I could see this happening on down 77 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: the road with other tennis tournaments as well. Yeah, well 78 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: after that, you're the only one left you have is 79 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: is the U s open but late August and into September, 80 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: and there haven't been any official declarations yet, but you 81 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: can count on it. A lot of other athletes have 82 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: said and officials. Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston's said last month 83 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: he wouldn't be comfortable with a Russian athlete flying the 84 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: Russian flag. And I keep going back to Boston here, 85 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: but the Boston Marathon, the final run is down Boylston 86 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: Street where they have the flags of all the nations 87 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: of runners that are competing, and the Russian flag in 88 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: the Belarus flag um were taken down and it was 89 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: a great site that there are a number of Ukrainian 90 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: runners in the Boston Marathon, and many of them were 91 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: handed as they were coming down the final hundred yards 92 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: or so Ukrainian flags and they probably crossed the finish 93 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: line with them draped over their shoulders. It really wasn't 94 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: a emotional scene. Speaking of emotional and I want to 95 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: talk about that also with the marathon. A shout out 96 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: to the Richard family. UH, the brother of Martin he 97 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: was killed in the bombing UH and he would have 98 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: been eighteen according to what his brother was saying, and 99 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: he probably would have been running in the marathon as well. 100 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: A shout out to him just for competing at least, 101 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: you know, it does your heart good. So his his 102 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: name is Henry Richard. He's twenty years old. He was 103 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: ten when his brother Martin was killed. His sister also 104 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: lost a leg in that bombing accident. So when Henry 105 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: was coming down the finish line, he veered over to 106 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: the left and stopped in the exact same spot where 107 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: his brother lost his life in where there is a memorial, 108 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: there's a statue there now, and he just paused and 109 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: just dipped his head and just looked over where his 110 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: brother was standing, where he last saw him alive. And 111 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: then he continued across the finish line with his arms 112 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: raves and just went right into the arms of his mom, 113 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: is dad, and his sister. I tell you, it was 114 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: a it was a tear drigger. Yeah, Henry, good for you. 115 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: You are an inspiration to all. How can I go 116 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: into this this next story? HBO has made the logo mad, 117 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. Jerry West is demanding every 118 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: traction and apology over the portrayal in the HBO series 119 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 1: Winning Time. What what happened here? Well, I've watched every 120 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: single episode, and I was actually stunned in the in 121 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: the first episode when I saw the portrayal of Jerry West, 122 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,119 Speaker 1: who we all perceived as one of the classiest great 123 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: players of all time. We knew he did have some 124 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: reading some of his books, so we knew he did 125 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: have some some issues with atrial fibrillation in his heart 126 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: and a little bit of depression. But this portrayal is 127 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: really way out of bounds. I mean, they have him 128 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: as a drinker. They have him throwing his m v 129 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: P trophy from the sixty finals, the only player from 130 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: a losing team to win the m v P throwing 131 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: it through a glass window that never happened, and Kareem 132 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: Abdul Jabbar, you know, put it. He came to his 133 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: defense along with Keith Wilkes and Jamal Wilkes, I should say, 134 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: and and Michael uh Michael Cooper. They said, you know, 135 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: they portray him as some type of wily coyote, pathetic 136 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: character figure. Here he really wants his lawyers want a retraction, 137 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: they want an apology, and they want damages from HBO. 138 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: They wanted and they want it done within two weeks. 139 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: And they said that This thing shows a great deal 140 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: of malice, and anytime you're going after somebody with defamation 141 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: of character, that word malice is a key word. Yeah, 142 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: you know. Now I have not seen the series, but 143 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: I've heard just what you said that it can be 144 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: a little rough, and now I haven't seen it. I'm 145 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: just wondering. I'm not sure what you call it. Do 146 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: you call it? It's not a documentary, is what do 147 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: you call this series? Well, it's based on the book Showtime, 148 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: written by Jeff Perlman. I'm also reading the book at 149 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: the same time that I'm watching, and it's it's a 150 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: little bit different. They took a lot of liberties the 151 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: producers of the HBO show. It's entertaining. We all lived 152 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: through that era of the eighties when the when the 153 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: Lakers worst Showtime for a dozen years or so, and 154 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: I was stunned. I mean, they really make Jerry West 155 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: look like like a fool, like a stooge, like a 156 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: really pathetic character, and I just don't get it at all. 157 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: That's not the Jerry West that that I perceived, and 158 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: it's not the Jerry West that's portrayed in the book. 159 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: And Jerry West was the general manager that that actually 160 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: built that great dynasty of the of the nineteen eighties. 161 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: You know, they have him arguing with with Jack Kent Cook, 162 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: the owner before Jerry bust took over, saying he wanted 163 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: Sydney Moncrief instead of a Magic Johnson and that he 164 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: had a very contentious relationship with Magic Johnson. And that 165 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: wasn't true at all. In real life, you don't become 166 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: the logo with a lot of baggage that seems to 167 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: be portrayed in this series. I mean, you're the logo 168 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: for a reason, and that's an honor and it's it's 169 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: been the logo. My goodness for the NBA for what 170 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: we're talking about fifty years, isn't Yeah, I mean they 171 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: actually they show that of the logo. They have him 172 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: on the golf course but snapping a club over his 173 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: his knee in anger over who they're going to draft, 174 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: and then it takes his profile and it morphs him 175 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: into the into the NBA logo. Um, I don't blame 176 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: Jerry West for doing what he's doing well. I have 177 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: a lot of respect for Jerry West. So I and again, 178 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: now I have not seen the series. I haven't seen 179 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: the episode but I can definitely say I'm in your 180 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: in your boat there, Lynchi. I have tremendous respect for 181 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: Jerry West. So we'll see how that turns out. And 182 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: by the way, you can't have a business of sports 183 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: podcast without Tom Brady mentioned. It's just impossible. By the way, 184 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if we if we mentioned it in 185 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: the past, but Tom Brady is going to be in 186 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: the match six point oh in golf the old quarterbacks, 187 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes and Um Jen 188 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. Thank you. It's going to be the 189 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: old against the young. But wait, there's more. You gotta 190 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: call him the vote for a reason. He's great in 191 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: business and he's great for everything man in sports. Well, 192 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: his name keeps popping up and the yesterday Jason liked 193 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: the GM of the Buccaneers was asked about Tom Brady. 194 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: Is there any mention of him going to Miami? This 195 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: story just won't go away. I've talked to some people 196 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: very very close to this situation, and here's the connection 197 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: between Brady and the Dolphins. Steve Ross owned is the 198 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: majority owner of the Miami Dolphins. One of his close 199 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: associates and part owner is a guy by the name 200 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: of Bruce Bale. Bruce Biale is a friend of Tom 201 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: Brady personally, Bruce Bale is a Boston guy. Bruce Biale 202 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: named one of his children, Brady, after Tom Brady. And 203 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 1: when when Brian Flores was making the accusations about a 204 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: being offered a hundred thousand dollars to throw a game 205 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: and be he was invited to come on a boat 206 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: because there was a certain quarterback on there, It's believed 207 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 1: that that quarterback was Tom Brady. So the connection is, 208 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: should Steve ross Ever sell the Miami Dolphins and Bruce 209 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: Beale take over ownership of the Dolphins, then it makes 210 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: perfect sense that Bruce Biale would offer a part ownership 211 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: to Tom Brady. So that's the genesis of this story. 212 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: Right now, the Dolphins have a lot of celebrity owners. 213 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: They have Fergy from the Black Eyed Peas, they have 214 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: Serena and Venus Williams, Glory Estefan, they have Mark Anthony, 215 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: and certainly Tom Brady would lend a lot of credibility. 216 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: But right now this story is dead. The idea of 217 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: him actually going to the Dolphins next year or being 218 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: a part owner at the present time is a dead 219 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: story right now. I believe you, Lynchi. You know why 220 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: because you have the connections, and I just can't see 221 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brady either playing for Miami or buying a steak 222 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: in Miami. When you have a chance to maybe get 223 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: a share of the Patriots or maybe get a share 224 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: of the Buccaneers, why go off the road and and 225 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: do that. I'm with you, Lynchi, and an unstable franchise 226 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: to Miami. By the way, in case you're wondering, folks, 227 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: where's Scarlet Fox, our buddy, our pal, our chum.
