It is reported that the new NBA deal will be around the $75 billion mark for nine years from 2025. This compares to about $24 billion over a similar period. A tripling of the rights fee is extraordinary, though roughly similar to the six year period when the EPL's rights grew in back to back auctions driven by the entry of BT Sport into the market in competition to Sky. Of course since then, the EPL domestic rights have remained flat, and the European rights market in general have been moribund. It should be noted, the EPL's international rights continue to grow strongly, including in the US. However, this new deal will allow the NBA to leapfrog over the EPL to become the second biggest league in terms of rights revenue in the world, behind only the NFL juggernaut. The EPL current sits at about $5.3 billion per year through to 2029, with the NBA leaping to $8.3 billion until 2034. It seems unlikely the EPL will close that gap when its new contracts come around again without a major change in the competitive landscape. This is precisely what has driven the NBA deal, with the new deal rumoured to be with Amazon, NBC and EPSN, versus the old ESPN and TNT deal. Much like the NFL, the new streamers are beginning to exert a competitive disruption. Add to this the last NBA was done in 2016, and the greater growth in the US economy versus Europe, means there was a significant catch up growth to be factored in even without competition. Having only recently concluded its new deals, the EPL will be looking at how it can generate similar (or greater) competitive disruption when its deals come around again in 2029. Is it time to tear up the model that has served the EPL so well for so long? The clubs will be loath to take a risk. But in terms of a rapidly evolving digital market place, another 5 years now feels a long time to be locked into the current status quo. #NBA#EPL#NFL#Amazon#Apple#ESPN#TNT#NBChttps://lnkd.in/ets5QyXs
Are you a student or full house wife and you are in need of a stress free steady daily means of income, how about you start with a business that generates $200-$500 for you monthly and you will earn on a daily basis without capital or production of goods to market. All you have to do is to put in some marketing strategies and market products for the creators to earn your own commission handsomely. If you're ready to take that step to the success gate and claim your chance of attaining financial freedom, kindly signify by dropping HI in the comment section. Remember "The only restriction to living the live you crave for the future is your doubt and procrastination today". Do yourself the great favour of joining the millionaires money making square today.
The idea that our transactions and consumer engagement shouldn't be detached from our values, relationships, or community, but instead complimented by those important things, is certainly the way forward for our economy.
We've been immeasurably blessed by the small business owners on our site.
They have inspirational stories to tell and high-quality products to sell, so we're always looking for additional ways to showcase them.
With that, we at PublicSquare are proud to announce the launch of 'PublicSquare Live'.
PublicSquare Live is a QVC-style live shopping experience where we interview business owners, share exclusive discounts on their products, provide an opportunity for consumers to ditch the big box retailers, and shift consumer spending to family-owned and operated, high-quality vendors.
While envisioning how best to execute this exciting initiative, I met the legendary Erin Elmore, Esq. a former long-time QVC host, current TV personality, and devoted patriot. She was immediately drawn to the vision and decided it would be a great use of her skillset to jump 'all in' and launch this with us.
On top of that, when RealAmericasVoice heard about this, they stepped up and offered to host the show on air for their millions of viewers (A huge shoutout to Rob Sigg and the team over there! They do fantastic work.)
You can view the first episode that aired this past Saturday evening on Real America's Voice at the link in this post, and I'll link a PR in the comment section that describes this initiative in greater detail if you're interested in learning more.
We're saving the country through the power of commerce and we'd love it if you join us.
Onward and upward!

What Issues Do Super Bowl Squares Present in the Workplace?
Reposted - Article by Steve Silver, Littler.com
The American Gaming Association estimated that 28 million Americans participated in office pools for the Super Bowl in 2023 – up 50 % from 2022 – with even more anticipated to play this year.
Despite their popularity, those Super Bowl squares can present thorny legal risks for employers who sponsor them, because Super Bowl squares are, by definition, gambling.
Whether that gambling is unlawful depends on the jurisdiction and how the pool is operated. In fact, Super Bowl squares are illegal in 37 states. And even the states that do permit office pools have different requirements.
☞ Hmmmm. Something to think about!

Why do people fan? The number one reason is NOT because they want to see their team or favourite athletes win. NOT because they want to recognize their favourite artist for an amazing drop.
95% of fans exercise their fandom because they want to establish a meaningful connection with other people who share the same passion. It’s about bonding at scale. It’s about sharing a feeling. It’s about creating memories together. It doesn’t matter if you are a die-hard, paint-faced, fully dressed for the occasion fan, or if you are a casual temporary fan just living in the moment on a small or a big crew, or if you even share the same levels of passion with others around you at the stadium or on the couch. What matters is that fandom is inclusive. It has a common language. And it strongly fulfills a people’s identity.
Fandom is an enormous opportunity for brands as it opens a gateway. Brands can not only celebrate or support the same passions but also enable people to experience their fandom in a way that was never done or felt before.
“For the True” is an expression of every fan. A disruption of fan stereotypes and an invitation to join however you fan. It was specially developed for a Hard Seltzer to play a role in a beer-centric environment such as hockey. A platform that was launched at NHL All Star where people could print custom Fan Cans and now debuts at the NHL Playoffs with 2 spots. Expect to see much more.

Reflecting on the RFK #SuperBowlAd this morning, as both a #marketer and a #history enthusiast. I initially found it to be a stroke of genius, redoing the iconic JFK ad from the 60s (original below). It seemed to pay homage to his family legacy while offering a fresh perspective, akin to a Trump-esque 'Make America Great Again' message, albeit from a different vantage point.
However, my perception shifted when I witnessed the backlash on social and the subsequent apology from RFK. It became apparent that while the ad may have resonated with those familiar with the campaign or history buffs like myself, its impact on the family's emotions was unforeseen, especially considering they were blindsided by its release.
In the end, the real lesson that will live on in #marketing, #publicrelations, and #advertising textbooks for a different reason. Despite the considerable investment—reportedly $7M for the spot alone—the ROI appears dubious at best. The ad's polarizing reception underscores the importance of thorough audience research and sensitivity, lest the costs outweigh the benefits.
What are your thoughts on this commercial and its aftermath? #SuperBowlAds#RFK#AdvertisingStrategy#BrandManagement
