That's a pretty big number.
You can do a lot with $1 billion.
This is FIFA, okay.
Solidarity payments.
Is that, is that also outside Christian of what is happening domestically in these countries?
So two things that really stand out on this are go back to what we talked about before.
And that is without a robust professional infrastructure, professional club infrastructure, this is impossible, right?
So without, so without a robust infrastructure,
pro club infrastructure, this is, this is tough.
Okay.
So that's the first thing.
And that goes back to your point of, we need more pro clubs and, you know, and I, you know, what that structure looks like and all that is, is,
We don't want to be overly simple in our mind by saying we need pro-rel and all this stuff.
There are realities to it, yeah, to the impact.
The other thing that we talked about a lot, and this is something that I believe deep, is this changes the incentive.
And when the incentive is to develop players so those players can move on, or to higher levels, because there's a pecking order, if you will, everywhere, no matter where you are.
But these lower academies...
being able to push players on and receive compensation for that and be rewarded for what the work that they're doing incentivizes them to keep doing that work, which in theory, if that happens on a big scale, produces more players because the focus is on the individual player development.
Right.
And we've said that the incentives here at the youth level are backwards, right?
