That was their whole spiel.

I mean, they said it in the media all the time.

We would lose hundreds of millions of dollars if we did it the way the players want to do it.

What they offered in the beginning was embarrassing.

I was like...

This is actually embarrassing.

And the fact that you put it in writing is even more embarrassing.

Because I'm like, we have this amazing staff of advisors that are giving us facts, not like feelings and we're all in our feelings about stuff, etc.

but let me show you what is actually here.

That's where the confidence was gained.

And so we were like, okay, they're calling a meeting.

Like, surely they're going to come with something.

Right.

And they showed up with nothing.

Why call a meeting then?

That's what we were trying to figure out.

Like, you had people dropping everything to come to New York to be here for this, and you guys don't even show up with a proposal.

They wasted six weeks and then all of a sudden created this false timeline that we all of a sudden all had to be, had to jump on.

And it was like, okay, well, where was the sense of urgency when you wasted these six weeks?

You know, I was like, what can we get in this carry-on?
