Yeah, Mike, I'm inclined to agree with you.

Maybe not to the extent that, oh, he's just talking about them and the fans don't matter.

Obviously the fans matter, but it's not about a certain superstar didn't play in a game.

Because again, we've had that for a while, even with the gambling houses around, even with broadcast partners, right?

We've had that.

I think there's a level of egregious tanking that we've seen that this is where it raises a red flag.

And what I mean by that is the idea that

These are the available lineups.

These are the guys that are going to play.

The lines and the spreads and all the stuff are created based on that.

And then a team is winning a game and say, you know what?

That's not the outcome I was looking for.

Hey, my two best players, you guys are going to sit.

Not because you did something wrong or you hurt or you're nursing or you're on minutes restriction.

I just don't feel like putting you back in because we're trying to get a certain outcome out of this.

That at that point begins to impact and affect

the the lines and the gambling uh stuff that that's happening in a way that had they sat those guys out from the get goes hey they're not playing and i would not have impacted it so yes mike i think you're right that is probably the one of the loudest shareholders or stakeholders excuse me who's complaining about some of the recent tanking egregious violations how was your weekend

it was cool i mean like la is just not great for an event that is as spread out as all-star weekend it's just a lot of traffic and and to be honest with you the the even though the building was superb i mean into a dome i cannot praise it enough it is a world-class facility

But it's kind of out there.

And in order to access everything and then you lump in the Olympics are happening.
