#WTF ? Some deals only make sense if there is something going on under the surface. This club was reportedly looking for $400m sale. It went for three times that? Tax scheme or money laundering? Any guesses?

There are certain decisions that will go down as history-defining moments. This is one of them. It's a terrible misjudgment of Putin, who has made it clear he wants to destroy the West. We shouldn't help him do it.

1/ ⚽️⚽️⚽ Soccer (if you're on the right side of the pond; Football) just created a rights conflict nobody's talking about yet that's at the cutting edge of everything in today's world, and could be a great opportunity for a start-up.
6/ AI is moving too fast for one guy to grab all the land - clubs need AI to make their brain work properly, but they don't know how. If this plays out, it's not just a legal footnote. It's a preview of the next skill sports-rights people will need: clearing overlapping exclusivity across sponsorship tiers as AI deals multiply at every level of the sport. My investment thesis is that teams need a sports brain; two distinct hemispheres connected by the nuerology of AI.
7/ I'd love to hear how this looks from a naming-rights and sponsorship perspective — @jeffmarks @IPG360 , would love your read on whether club-level and league-level exclusivity has ever collided like this before, or if AI is genuinely a new kind of asset that breaks the old playbook.

1/ The LA28 Olympic committee needed a sport that was fast, young, and unmistakably American.
Their answer: 5-on-5 flag football.
9/ Curling spikes because nothing pulls you back once NBC stops airing it. Flag football is growing whether anyone's watching or not.
One of these is a party trick. The other might be the actual future — minus the liability claims and the 300-pound cruise missiles.
10/ Place your bets: mainstream American obsession by 2032, or a very expensive Olympic cameo?
