Message: [QUOTE="Timonen, post: 4723174, member: 81"] What I can’t grasp is that by effectively separating the biggies from the larger group of smaller programs, you’re actually shrinking the market. The degree to which everyone is massively investing into and positioning around a shrinking market is goofy. Viewership will be down. Broadcast rights will be down. Salaries will be down. They’ll be ripe for some type of disintermediation from the nfl which will continue to lessen the product from the standpoint of what has made it historically valuable. There’s no shortage of sports content. People will put their passion elsewhere. Add in the revolving door of players and I really wish I could find some way to financially bet against it. This won’t happen immediately and a lot of folks (the lawyer/consultants primary) are gonna make a ton in the near term, but that’s the reality of it. [/QUOTE]
