And when the money in sports is going up and up and up, what you're losing is the viability of that owner to make decisions that voice-verified

that are in line with what a fan wants. voice-verified

And I say this in a very direct way. voice-verified

For so long, the number one most important thing in sports has been winning basketball games, winning football games, winning baseball games, winning championships, right, winning. voice-verified

And we're running the risk right now of the affordability crisis around sports being so out of whack that even the richest billionaires in America individually cannot buy these teams. voice-verified

That's sort of where we're headed. voice-verified

We're headed to a world in which only institutional investors can buy these things. voice-verified

And those institutions are not even crazed individual fan billionaires. voice-verified

They're just entities that are seeking to extract every bit of margin out of their assets. voice-verified

And winning for them is not their number one goal. voice-verified

Their number one goal is profit. voice-verified

And so with the silence, with the lack of pushback upon our politics that enables this economic disparity and the economic disparity itself, we are running the risk of effectively fracking sports. voice-verified

We're running the risk of poisoning the ecosystem by drilling for more money and jeopardizing the entire reason it's special in the first place. voice-verified

And that is politically, that is economically, and this is certainly when it comes to corruption in our administration, that is incentivizing corruption. voice-verified

this usage and this abuse, really, of the public trust. voice-verified

It's cowardice. voice-verified

I mean, we're being tested all of the time. voice-verified

It's a really good point because cowardice implies that you fear that you will be victimized. voice-verified

And this is not quite that. voice-verified

This is a lot of people who have collectively more power than anyone else who is in the audience deciding to remain silent because it's good for their self-interest. voice-verified
