Anyone who thinks they are recouping $700 MIL needs to take a basic economics class. It ain't happening.

You don’t think the Yankees are still seeing returns on their Babe Ruth investment over 100 years after they got him from the Red Sox? The best selling pair of shoes in the world every year are $150 Jordans, and he hasn’t taken an NBA shot in 20 years.

Think of how huge the last few American sports tv many deals have been. Now think of how many people live in Asia. What sort of tv deal deal do you think the Dodger’s group is about to be able to leverage? I said “jerseys and hats” as kind of a joke. It’s WAY bigger than that. Bigger than we can even comprehend.
