So, no, we haven't had those conversations yet.

Well, our desire to maximize the value of our players on the field and off the field never stops.

And so, yes, there's an opportunity to grow the player business, and we've done that exponentially over the course of the last five or six years.

And so whether that's abroad, whether that's here domestically, that work never stops.

And you're right, generally speaking, it's all against the backdrop of providing support to players at the bargaining table and beyond.

But it never stops.

In the late 90s, there were repeat champions.

I was actually a player at that time.

The sky was falling as the Yankees repeated.

Here we are nearly 30 years later, and the industry has grown exponentially.

The idea that there is excellence among the clubs, you tip your hat to those clubs.

There's opportunities for all 30 teams to be excellent.

Some are investing in that excellence, some aren't.

To the extent that those that have the wherewithal, and all 30 clubs do, decide that they want to invest in that excellence, they're gonna have an opportunity to be the last team standing as well.

Yeah, I would beg, the question for me would be who is working to create the narrative

that is challenging the excellence that we're seeing.

All 30 teams have the wherewithal to put a very good team on the field.

As you know, we are provided information that is confidential information.

We're not allowed to share that information.

So when I suggest to you that all 30 teams have the wherewithal to invest in their clubs and improve their club on the field, we believe that they do.
