Let's Contract Two Different Teams
July 13, 2002 - Mookie
Probably picking nits, but don't the Braves (and probably the Cubs as well) have a far more lucrative cable deal than the Mets? New York is a great market, but having two owners who last agreed with each other in the 1980's is a good way to make sure that the other team dominates financially.
Aside from that, amusing way of presenting the real problem. The Braves currently receive zero from cable broadcast, because they are owned by the company that broadcasts. As of next broadcast contract the Yankees join the zero club, so if there is to be equal sharing of cable revenue someone will have to deal with the "Enron" accounting.
