Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3250708, member: 9853"] Media companies buying sporting teams was a bit of a thing ten, maybe twenty years ago. Synergy, if you will. But they're mostly offloading them to multi-billionaires these days and paying the broadcasting rights. Fat cats like owning restaurants and sporting teams. It's a flex more than an investment, and they usually offload them after they figure out they're not the greatest money spinner. Even Clive Palmer bought one. Murdoch might end up offloading the Broncos if anyone will take them. News Corp sold the LA Dodgers. Disney sold the Ducks (the irony.) Comcast sold off the 76ers. Etc. Maybe News has more vested interest in Australia with Fox Sports, the Telegraph and Courier Mail. Someone has to pay the bills, so that pissed off thing you're feeling, that's part of what keeps us interested in the ongoing saga. The game itself only lasts 80 minutes, but the talking about it goes 24/7. [/QUOTE]
