It is challenging to make a direct business case for YouTube paying $2b/yr for NFL Sunday Ticket.

Sports properties are facing an increasingly competitive environment for advertising, marketing, and partnership $.

@Sportico's @novy_williams examined why #sportsbiz currently does not better #monetize highlights in today's "The Morning Lead" newsletter. I address this issue using Buzzer, @netflix's #quarterback, and #wimbledon2023 in a recent @HowieLongShort column. mailchi.mp/johnwallstreet/qu…

The @mubadalacitidc has taken meaningful steps to address gender inequity.
This weekend’s tournament is the only event to include 500-level men’s & women’s professional tennis.
If successful, it could spawn more combined events in and out of the sport.

But a trio of recent developments seemingly cast doubt on the premise.

The NYT's decision to disband its sports desk is indicative of a broader change occurring within the industry.
There is an increasingly clear bifurcation between media outlets providing analysis and those offering straight news or event coverage.

The rule changes have almost certainly been a tailwind.
But @MLB has made substantial investments in tech designed to improve the fan experience in recent years.
Those solutions have put the league in a position to capitalize on the renewed excitement

New rules playing a part.
But as @adamrgrossman explains in JohnWallStreet this coming Friday, MLB clubs invested in tech in recent years that is enabling them to capitalize.
