I have no way to understand how they're arriving at that numbers.
The way that you want to look at it is what are their subs?
Are they gaining more subs who joined because of baseball, who are going to keep renewing even though there's not a game now until the home run derby?
Because that's how Netflix is looking at it.
That their return on their baseball investment is not from the number of people who watch the game.
It's the number of people who engage with their platform and then do it on a monthly basis.
Because you know this, Dan, there is nothing better than recurring revenue.
It is the dream of any business to have that.
And that is what streaming services are.
It's why this goes all the way back to fun that we've had on this show about Columbia Records, where you forget to cancel and you keep getting records.
I do not.
I think we're not even in the middle of the end times.
I think we may be in the middle of the early part of what streaming is going to look like and what consolidation will look like.
And leagues are smartly taking advantage of it by negotiating deals right now.
If baseball had its druthers, they would not be waiting till 2029.
They'd like to get a collective bargain agreement done yesterday, and they'd like to be out in the market.
It doesn't matter.
The concept of the NFL taking all the money inside the league offices, they're not really looking at it that way, because if you look at the competition for hours, it's hours of content.
The NFL and Major League Baseball are not competing in terms of eyeballs and streams at the same time for the most part.
September, yes.
