You couldn't watch anything.
Now you can watch any team globally.
So fans are counted in the billions instead of the tens of thousands where they used to be 30 years ago.
So I think sports still has upside because advertisers want to reach the globe, and that's the way to do it.
We're looking at many opportunities.
I think the WNBA is a great opportunity, women's sports in general, women's soccer in the USA and globally.
is growing.
The NFL is the marquee properties.
I think they had record ratings and record advertising on the NFL.
So again, I think sports as a category is really a growth asset.
And as you have this battle between old media and new media, it's existential for them.
And they're battling over these properties that get all the eyeballs in.
So I think that bodes well for all the leagues.
It's something clear.
We've kind of stood down for now, and we're going to abide by whatever the NBA wants to do with the team.
I think it's very exciting.
The ratings are huge for WNBA, and I think it's great that all Americans are following that sport now, and it's going to really take off, and the NBA's done a great job with that.
You've done a great job, Steve.
It's always good to catch up with you.
What a career.
