    The Fans Speak! The view from Real Madrid - the European Super League is far from dead! Superfan Amit Nawalrai talks Florentino Pérez.

    Florentino Pérez, Chairman of Real Madrid, is widely considered to be the architect of the now-defunct European Super League.  While the English were almost universally up in arms against the ESL and their fans ensured that it was over before it started, the view from Spain, and particularly, Madrid, is very different.  Real Madrid supporter Amit Nawalrai takes us into the mind of Florentino Pérez, widely considered to be the Emperor Palpatine of the ESL.  Are fans really bored of football today?  Do we need to watch Barcelona vs. Tottenham every 4 weeks?  Get In the Game to find out! ~~~ In The Game is a weekly podcast covering the business of sports.

    Interview with Ann Kletz, CEO & co-founder of Goal Five, a women's sports apparel brand based in Oakland, California

    Ann Kletz founded Goal Five with a simple mission, to help young female athletes enjoy sports by wearing apparel suitable to their physicality and sport. But the company is on a broader mission to raise awareness about inequality in sports and at the same raise the confidence of young girls entering sports. It's an important time for the company and for sports equality, and Ann's work is just beginning. ~ In The Game is a weekly podcast covering the business of sports.

    Interview with Chris Jones. Now, there's someone I can trust to tell me about the Euro Super League

    In trying to make sense of all that has transpired last week in European soccer, I reached out to a trusted friend who understands the game really well. Chris Jones was a college soccer player, and he worked in the industry following his years playing the sport. Most recently, he is involved in trying to raise money to make an investment into soccer in Europe, so when it comes to understanding the impact of the now-defunct Super League, there’s no one better person in my mind to ask than my good friend Chris Jones!

    Matsuyama wins the Masters & sets himself up for life | Topps is going public through a SPAC | NCAA's flubs with women's sports continue

    Hideki Matsuyama is the first Japanese golfer to with the Masters, and his country could not be more excited about that. It's a very wealthy economy, it's a country with over half of all golf courses in Asia, and marketing sponsorships pay out very well. Some estimate he could be a $1B golfer by the time he retires, which could be in a couple of decades given the longevity of golf players. Topps was purchased by former Disney CEO Michael Eisner some years ago, and the company lived a somewhat sleepy life until Gens Y and Z got into the game. Recently, valuations of physical memorabilia, cards especially, have skyrocketed. The NFT craze has also helped. Its intention to go public through a SPAC means the company is looking for funding to go to the next level, and it may be trying to get itself on the NFT joy ride. The NCAA has had a rough couple of months, but it's mostly self-inflicted. The latest exhibit of its incoherence comes as it flip-flops on broadcasting the women's volleyball tournament and a rather quiet decision to cease drug testing during the final tournaments. It is clear that the organization is focused elsewhere, but why should women's sports suffer? Kevin De Bruyne signed a contract extension Manchester City recently, and it appears he used data and analytics to show the front office his value to the team. Data and analytics have been used by front office negotiators for years, but the details of those are just not shared. This begs the question when data on athletes is collected by the team of the league, who owns it? ~~~ In The Game is a weekly podcast covering the business of sports.
