So, I don't know, that made me really sad.

Yeah, I think that's true.

I mean, anytime there's a lot of money, a lot of things can go wrong.

I was listening to, I was a football coach who was speaking to a group I was with recently, and he just said, like, make sure you love football.

If you don't love football, you're not going to be able to do this.

And I thought that was such a weird thing to say, but it was clear that, you know, it's become about a lot more than just loving football.
