Why NFL Owners Want Private Equity Cash

EPISODE 140: Beagles.

You’ve often heard me refer to The Sporting Class, which I firmly believe to be the best sports business pod in America, as Rich Guys OnlyFans.

This week, Meadowlark CEO John Skipper — formerly president of ESPN — explains the etymology of the actual name he picked.

And then John and Nothing Personal’s David Samson — formerly president of the Miami Marlins, which he sold for $1.2 billion — dissect why the NFL, the richest sport in America, is ushering in private equity investment for the first time. What the National Women’s Soccer League might be trying to accomplish with its groundbreaking new collective bargaining agreement, which installs a suite of European-style soccer rules (like abolishing the draft). And how Fubo has somehow blocked a sports TV venture started by three huge media corporations.
