   Good for the Teachers union. Wish I could get a piece of MLSE.

   So we go from 2/3 corporate ownership to 100% corporate ownership… Not great Bob.

   Edit: Larry’s not selling his entire stake. So it’ll be interesting to see what he keeps. I’d guess like 5%.

   This is probably… not good

   This might be why both the Leafs and Raptors are running it back instead of rocking the boat by making big changes. Corporations don’t see sports teams the same way fans do.

   Greatest trick Shanny ever pulled was convincing the world it was actually about the on ice product.

   Anyone got the goods? Blocked by paywall. Is bell and rogers getting a larger stake? Or new buyers?

   Alright everyone, I say we buy the team, I’ll pitch in $20.

   Eventually, the economics of sport and the necessary passion that athletes need to have to make the sport appealing, will come to a head. We have less than 50 years of history in the “business of sport” and I think it has the potential to eat itself. The more financials become the dominant narrative of ownership, management, athletes, and fans, the less genuine the competitive nature of the sport becomes.

   I think the answer eventually becomes more community and fan owned sports teams with fractional ownership. It’s the only model that truly makes sense. The current model will destroy itself over time. Guaranteed.
