ol mate scoops manure is saying what everyone was pretty much expecting blavatnik to be saying - afl rights are massively overvalued and he'd like to tighten them up

take it with some grain of salt of course - the age is owned by ninefax who are currently in battle with dazn for the nrl rights going forward...

    Coincidentally (I'm sure, thank you non-corporeal robot overlords) my facebook spam just offered me a link to an article in The Atlantic about how utterly messed up the sports broadcasting has become in the US.

    Paywalled, of course, but the intro paragraphs kind of tell you the thrust. I presume. Who can be bothered signing up for a free trial of such things?

    Why Can’t I Just Watch Sports on Television?

    It shouldn’t be this hard to be a fan.

    Basically they have recently broken contracts with other sports rather than continuing to over pay, word is they are also not happy with the AFL deal and the story speculated they could potentially try the same thing, big caveat is they had clauses in those deals allowing them to pay a contract break fee to get out, unless the AFL was stupid enough to include one then it’s probably not a comparable situation.

    My opinion if came down to it there is basically 3 scenarios

    1. AFL bend the knee and renegotiate the deal in some fashion in order to keep good relations going fwd, much like what happened during Covid

    2. AFL hold them to the contract potentially damaging that relationship to AFLs detriment next time tv rights come up.

    3. If the AFL play hard ball the new Foxtel owners DAZN pull AFL from the service and stop payment and it all ends up in court, not very likely imo

    Is there any chance to 'internationalize' the AFL?

    Say if any of DAZN or Amazon, or similar global conglomerates, got the broadcasting rights. Wouldn't this be an opportunity for more exposure overseas?
