I don’t watch sports much, but I think I’ve heard multiple times of certain games being played locally not being available at all on TV due to black outs. I could be wrong though.

Good point!

Sure, I agree with that, but I didn’t say they were socialist sports leagues, only that that they had “socialistic policies”. Perhaps if I had written ‘“socialistic” concepts’ it would have been a bit more clear.

Absolutely! Those corporations also love hobbling or getting rid of any honest competition through mergers, acquisitions, regulatory capture, non-compete agreements, and endless other mechanisms.

That’s a lot more understandable and less controversial though. I don’t think you could properly operate a military force without having a level playing field for everyone.

Come to think about it, it’s almost like no complex system involving humans is bound to work well without having a level playing field for everyone. 🤔

Yes, thank you, that’s the quote I had in mind!

Wait until you hear about how you cannot pay to watch all the NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL games in your market on a streaming service. Unless something has very recently changed, there’s no method of legitimately paying where you won’t still experience blackouts.

Yikes, I hadn’t even thought of that! There are some local games where the only way to watch if you live in that city is to buy a ticket to go to the stadium, right?

Good point!

Good point!

Absolutely! It should also be applied to society in the US and everywhere.

Praise Kier!

Interesting, thank you!

Wait, how do you see dislikes on youtube??? I thought they had permanently hid that years ago? Is there some trick that allows you to see them?

That’s cool, thank you for telling the background!

Thanks!

No problem, thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks again!

No worries, I’ll check it out, thanks!

Thanks! What did they do?
