Bros… how could this happen? We broke so many viewership records…..
>>151919813>insolventnot using that word correctly
Cohen doesn’t give a fuck about costs. He wants to win and sportswash the fact that he paid a $2 billion fine for insider trading.
They're just a CIA psyop against china at this point, glowies will fund it.
>>151919813>teams lost $1.8 billionwhere did it go? where are teams spending an unrecoverable couple billion dollars that nobody noticed?
>>151919813All sports are facing this
>>151920013holy béisbolpaco cope
>>151920013This. Young people only watch highlights and edits on tiktok. Due to refinement culture the production of stars becomers even rarer. I think this is why f1 is pivoting with netflix to make the sport a reality show, I can see nba doing the same in the near future
>>151920013>>151920146Also why betting companies are so dominant. EPL, F1, NFL, they all have stake, fanduel, draftkings, etc. People used to watch it for the tribalism and entertainment and today traditional sports just dont fill that hole anymore, unless you're betting your money on it
243 regular season games now!
>>151920913it’s the only way to make up the deficit
>>151919813Mamdani will fix the Mets inshallah
>>151920002Cocaine and whores
>>151919813>"has privately told owners"if you believe this shit you're dumber than retarded
>mlb sets viewership records>beating NBA by every metric now (yes including viewership)…>/sp/ immediately starts FUD about baseball dying (again) [again]sad. give it up chuds! baseball is BACK. and soccer will never, ever, EVER be even a C tier sport in america
>>151919813Real source please and not just a link to some faggot's twitter account
>>151920187That won't last very long. People forget why sports gambling was illegal in the first place.
>>151919813If that's real ... how come? I mean, your franchise leagues are specifically made to be profitable. The MLB is by far the most famous and most followed league of that sport. And it has recently attracted some more attention, apparentlySo what's going wrong then? 1.8 billion is 60 million per team or something. Quite a bit, although probably doable for all the billionaire owners. But it defies the purpose of the system, doesn't it?
>>151921448Because it's a retarded tweet. Why would the MLB tell owners how much they lost?
>>151921448>If that's realit is absolutely not
>>151921448The collective bargaining agreement with the players expires at the end of next year and the owners need to start crying poor very early.
>>151919869>Mets>win
>>151921448There are a bunch of teams that are basically just autopilot revenue extractors, but on the whole the league went negative because there are a couple retard teams that drove themselves into debt trying to buy up all the talent (and still somehow ended up sucking) like the Mets and Padres
the mets were my dead crush's favorite team
>>151923327damn dude you didn't have to kill him just for that
>>151923347Did him a favor
>>151919813priced in
>>151919813>see Dodgers "set record" with contract that uses deferral memery so in modern day money it's really only 200 mil>look how cool I am Mrs. Met, I will give a player half as good 4x as much. Will you sleep with me now?>nooo why am I losing money and she didn't even give me sex
it's not real dude practically all the teams make a profit off gate revenues and concessions alone baseball doesnt even need a tv deal
>>151919813No shit. You got owners spending billions of dollars on rosters that don't even make the playoffs. These owners and players need to get real about these insane contracts. MlB players have larger contracts than NFL players, and that just doesn't make sense at all.
>>151919813It's actually insane how much money Steve Cohen has to burn.
>>151919869And I'll continue to take his money
>>151925135His greed and zionist ways bought me a house on January 28th 2021
>>151920013Maybe athlets don't need to make $50 million a year
>>151920002Careful with the antisemitism, buddy
>>151925327maybe sports teams (franchises as you fucks call them) should be organisations with the main goal being perform well in sports and win trophies, and not playthings for billionaires to make profit on
>mlb about to have a lockout>"THE POOR LITTLE OWNERS ARE LOSING SO MUCH MONEY WAAAAHHHHH"
>>151920002Today anon discovers that these leagues are all fronts for money laundering
>boreball
My local baseball team didnt survive the 2007 financial crisis
