Interesting quote at the bottom of the article:
I can’t decide if 11% is higher or lower than I expected, but also insightful that the NFL in particular doesn’t seem to think this affects their bottom line much? Hard to believe since a sports streaming package can easily be triple digits and only go up year after year.
Remember though just because the organization doesnt think it hits their bottom line it doesn’t mean their legal department will treat it as such.
Those corporate lawyers need to prove to themselves that they aren’t just a bullshit job
By punishing innocent people and ruining nice things! Fuck yeah! Which by graeber’s taxonomy is not a bullshit job tbf.
It doesn’t affect their bottom line because they just keep raising the price so the bottom line stays the same.
