Business, Economics, and Taxes: Capitalism. Yay? >=(

The prices for a full game day experience have priced most fans out of attending events, plus going to an NFL game now is a joke. Player salaries are out of control but owners have been able to afford to pay them because of TV revenues. How much longer is the current model sustainable?

[Handyman]

Yep. And Apple customers would happily pay those higher prices to end slavery conditions.

Right?

No...but man it would be fun to watch!

(I own nothing Apple...not that any tech is free and clear of this evil)

Meanwhile the 10 year old jumping out windows working 18 hour days is making $2 if they are lucky...

If Tim Cook was actually magnanimous he would cut his salary to fix that. The only way he would do that though is if he raised prices...

Is streaming willing to dish out a Billion (with a "B") dollar check though? That's the issue with the change in media that we are currently looking at. Live Sports were the last safe, "sure thing" when it came to having a guaranteed advertiser base. Can streaming currently compete with that?

MLS can blaze new ground because they are a niche of a niche fanbase.

MLS is getting $2.5 billion (minimum, it could end up being more) from Apple. Apple and Amazon seem to be willing to pay up.

[Handyman]

The average Apple salary ranges from approximately $30,300 per year for Retail Sales Associate to $205,504 per year for Demand Manager. Average Apple hourly pay ranges from approximately $10.00 per hour for Forklift Operator to $68.00 per hour for Online Manager.
Salary information comes from 45,767 data points collected directly from employees, users, and past and present job advertisements on Indeed in the past 36 months.

Death to the RSNs. Be like MLS, put the games on a streaming service with no blackouts.

As long as it doesn’t prevent scooby from watching the Wild and Gophers and getting all depressed

LOL. If I can't watch, I can't watch. Ain't no thing. I've outgrown the need to watch. Hell, I hardly use my Athletic subscription anymore.

Apple has 1,000 janitors?

They have thousands of retail employees.

edir: maybe not. There are 273 retail stores in the us alone. At ten employees per, that's only 2,700.

[LynahFan]

While other companies are laying off tens of thousands of workers, Apple CEO Tim Cook requested a 40% reduction in his salary. Enough to pay over 1000 $50K/year jobs.
