The Effect on Company: Aaron Rodgers’ Torn Achilles
In the most current episode of Sporticast, hosts Scott Soshnick and Eben Novy-Williams delve into numerous considerable sports small business stories. One particular of the key subjects discussed is the devastating Achilles injury suffered by New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. This injury not only ended Rodgers’ NFL season soon after just 4 snaps, but it also has considerable ramifications for the NFL and its broadcast partners. The Jets had been slated to have several national and primetime broadcast slots in the coming months, but with Rodgers out and the team’s Super Bowl prospects compromised, the hosts query whether or not these plans will be altered.
The discussion then shifts to the playing surface itself, as Rodgers was injured on a turf field. Quite a few players have voiced issues about the security of turf compared to all-natural grass. The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has expressed a preference for all teams to play on grass, but this would demand considerable concessions through collective bargaining. Some owners, having said that, favor synthetic turf due to its decrease price and the prospective for hosting non-NFL events that can harm grass fields. The hosts also touch on the topic of sportsbooks refunding bets placed on Rodgers prop bets.
The episode wraps up with 3 added subjects. Firstly, the hosts cover the public launch of TKO Group, the new holding corporation for each WWE and UFC. They then go over Deion Sanders’ productive start off in Colorado, as properly as Learfield’s debt restructuring, which requires eliminating more than $600 million in liabilities, securing $150 million in capital, and undergoing new ownership. The podcast concludes by mentioning several platforms exactly where listeners can subscribe to Sporticast.
