A lot of things have changed since MLSE was purchased by Bell/Rogers. The Raptors are now the most valuable property in MLSE by a pretty fair margin, so only an idiot would neglect them...but I'd never put anything past trust fund Ed.

Sadly, all evidence points to Ed Rogers being an idiot

Or a spiteful asshat who's own family hates him.

This ain't good.

For all the anti-Masai people, you're going to get your wish. And it ain't going to be pretty.

You know it's bad when even the media is already saying this sucks for fans

[TravisScott55]

Rogers always wants a monopoly.

Look on the bright side folks. Other than 2019, 1992 and 1993, being a sports fan in this city has prepared you for what is to come. Now, instead of wasting 2-3 hours in front of a TV, we can all do something more productive with our lives.

Rogers going to let go of Masai and hire Danny Ferry

[douggood]

Oh man, the only reason I had bell cable was sports (and some politics).

Does this mean Bell channels will lose Raps? Or I hope there will be some licensing deal, otherwise this truly sucks.

Bell said it has secured content rights to the Maple Leafs and Raptors on TSN for the next 20 years and will continue to broadcast Argos and TFC games.

That's what I'm afraid will happen. They will hire some good old boy retread who sucks up to Ed and they will give him full control for a decade plus.

massive evaluation for BCE at north of 12M CAD

Based on the latest forbes valuations (converted to CAD dollars)

Raptors: 5.6 billion
Leafs: 3.8 billion
TFC: 1.0 billion

These three teams make up almost the entire valuation.

My first thought. At least we got the Chip. Im glad I was there for that.

[Anticon]

Sad times. The track record is clear of preferring controlled mediocrity to risk taking. Was fun while it lasted.

Raps even higher after all that new TV money coming into play

yup, those are 2023 figures. Forbes usually releases new numbers in the fall.

[Anticon]

Is there a feeling that's like the opposite of how we felt the morning of the Kawhi trade? Cause that's what I'm feeling today.
