When they have their own television network, etc.

They have the players.

You could maybe put the antitrust exemption, you could kind of shoehorn that into process power.

Or a cornered resource.

Yeah, or a cornered resource.

Like you said, no new league is going to have that.

I think there's definitely scale economies here in the sports entertainment aspect of the product.

Even a single Sunday game would bankrupt any startup league to put those kind of production values in.

To show up and produce the game.

I mean, they literally resell the same meteorites like multiple times over.
