Show Notes
Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams, Randall Williams and Michael Barr discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including ESPN personality Dan Le Batard's decision to break from company policy to discuss politics on his radio show. The son of Cuban immigrant, Le Batard last week criticized President Donald Trump and ESPN's own policy of only discussing politics when the topic is broached by the coaches and athletes it covers. Le Batard hasn't been publicly disciplined, but reportedly chose not to do his radio show on Monday. Also discussed is LSU's new $28 million renovation to its football operations building, which include a revamped cafeteria and fancy new locker room. Also touched on is a brewing carriage dispute between Dish Network and a complicated web of different networks, including channels owned by Fox and Disney.
