Panic. Nothing personal. Word of the day. Monday, July 19, 2021 is panic. The lead story,

0:28.0

in my mind is what happened in the nationals park this past weekend. An absolute nightmare

0:34.0

for everyone in that ballpark, for every executive, for every player. If you don't know what

0:39.3

happened, I want to take a minute to recap and then give you a little insight, which is

0:44.6

what we do on nothing personal. Games going on, it's the nationals, it's the podraiser

0:52.2

in Washington, everything's fine, other than the fact that your home team is not winning

0:57.5

2:02.6

Marlon's Park. I'm responsible for that game only 39,000 souls, most times it's only 5,000

2:11.2

souls, 10, I'm not responsible for the souls we make up, but for the people actually there,

2:18.8

but on top of that, don't forget to add the workers, the people who work in sessions,

2:24.1

the people who work in tickets, your employees who are there. Every single game that is a

2:33.0

concern I would have. We would do something called active shooter training among other

2:42.4

things that we had in a handbook that it has clearly written what to do in certain
