I’m not mistaking anything, I don’t care if Barkley is bitter, he probably is. But he told the truth about the league preferring to deal with someone that might be more prone to going even higher down the road. I don’t know why saying this is the truth is an issue.I think you’re misreading bitterness and taking it at face value. The future of home entertainment is streaming services. Max, the streaming service that carries TNT has 75 million subscribers. Amazon has over 200 million. The fan isn’t getting punished here at all. More fans are getting access to more games. This is especially true internationally as Amazon blows away Max outside of the United States.
The market will speak. If people want to see Shaq and Barkley fuck up the names of players because they don’t do the prep work before telecasts and they want to see these guys trash the league, then ESPN or NBC will sign them.
