Summary

Meadowlark Media CEO John Skipper and Nothing Personal's David Samson are back with another episode with Pablo Torre Finds Out host... Pablo Torre to host! Welcome to the Sporting Class! We start today off with what’s going on within the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the business of it. Sports leagues are speaking out. Players are speaking out. Fans are speaking out. Then, where do we stand on the global sports power rankings currently? The NFL wants Europe. The NBA has games in Abu Dhabi. Why are they doing this? Plus, World Cup 2034 is right around the corner. And the nominations are in… it’s Saudi Arabia… and… who? Also, What is Warner Bros. Discovery up to? It could be a battle with ESPN and Fox. But what about the NBA? Could they be giving part of that pie up? And finally, Rich Paul has come out and said the collapse of the Regional Sports Networks is actually good for the players. How true is this? Does he see something others don’t? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
