If/when the “non -binding agreement” between ESPN and NFL is final and bound, NFL will own 10 % of the ESPN. As recently defined, he is willing An inevitable effect The way Espn NFL covers.
For now, ESPN is telling its NFL reporters that this will not happen.
ESPN’s Dawn Van Nata Jr. told John Andand for his unwanted newsletter’s latest issue, “Of course I am worried, but I am sure that I work with him.” Versus. “I am in the depths of an investigative plan about the National Football League, and I believe it will be published in the same way that our share of the NFL was published before becoming the owner.”
Maybe it will. This may not happen.
Regardless of, matters have changed. The NFL and ESPN have joined the hip -hip business partners since becoming a Business Associates of the arm length. Even at only 10 %, NFL and ESPN have added an over -leaping entity.
And while avoiding the claims of being heavy hand, The NFL can tolerate some short -term bullying, but it will be much more understood to see how it runs over a long distance.
In fact, killing the “National Football League’s Investigation Plan” is one thing when the reporter is already “deep”. It will also be clearly a fish. It is another thing to use the editorial discretion to not go to the first place. Which was exactly the same.
Yes, the ESPN hires people like Van Nata and Klein Kahler, who will have a negative impact on access to them in the name of reaching the truth (unlike NFL reporters). And those people can follow the topics that will hurt the NFL.
They can even show the Commissioner’s Super Bowl Press Conference and ask them an important question. Twice
Then, when their contracts are over, a business decision will be taken to end the relationship.
In other words, someone else in Van Nata and/or the lazar and/or espn, who chooses to dig in a very depth and very aggressive way in the business of NFL’s new business partner. Jim Traitter ‘can meet.
