To be fair, he got a nice reprieve in his formative years in the 90s

The curse was still there, never reaching the Super Bowl, John Elway breaking their hearts, etc

Ohtani vs Judge

Should be fun.

 

[trojanfan12]

Watching the NLCS trophy presentation.

At every one of these, the owner, etc. always says "our fans are the greatest fans in the world".

Just once, I wanna see someone get up there and say, "our fans all suck, and we won in spite of them".

And Soto and Betts and NY vs LA. Rooting for NY of course.

Since the playoffs expanded only twice before have the league MVPs met in the Series 2012 and 1988

Only if you want your balance sheet to look like the wnbas

So the WNBA lost $40 million last year despite all the juice they got from Clark's rookie season. Not good for them

Their tv deal is going from 60 million to 200.

Waiting 30 years to turn a profit is just laughably terrible business

They could’ve invested that in something actually worthwhile but societal cancer gotta societal cancer

No way you or I know if having it adds to the NBA numbers or not. That has always been their stance and if they want to invest in it that’s up to them.

The NBA struggled for years itself. In the 70's low tv ratings, low attendance and drug issues threatened to put the league out of business. There's a reason it's said that Magic and Bird saved the league.

The NBA may not have struggled for as long, but it did struggle for quite a few years.

With the size of the new tv deal, the league should be profitable going forward.
