This is bad if true. Fk rogers

[MessiahUjiri]

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.

[MiamiSPX]

It is true, they flashed it as breaking news on Bloomberg here in the U.S.

Once larry is gone all the major sports teams in toronto are going to be owned by rogers and that weasel ed rogers. Absolutely sickening

[MavCarter]

When is masais contract up? 0 chance he isnt on his final contract in toronto

[tecumseh18]

So glad I didn't renew my seasons tickets this season, after 15 years.

OTOH, I despise Rogers as much as anyone, but they have spent money on this useless Jay team. OTOH, they're not much into intentional tanking.

Does this mean all Raptors game will be on Sportsnet, starting in the 2025-25 season?

I guess Larry is out as a decision-maker sooner than expected. How long will Masai last? Will Ross Atkins replace him?

[OakleyDokely]

Ed Rogers having full control over Toronto sports. What could go wrong.

[Quattro]

Well, all the Masai must go people around here must be happy. Only a matter of time now. Hope you like your new "Ross Atkins" replacement for him in a couple of years.

[Lord_Zedd]

Yeah Toronto Sports is completely **** now.

Harold Ballard 2.0 across the board

They are also fully responsible for that useless jays team by running a top baseball exec out of town, treating a jays legend like Beeston like garbage and replacing them with the two idiots in charge today.

[OakleyDokely]

Bell (and Rogers) paid about 500 mill for a 37.5% stake in 2011. That turned that into nearly 5 billion 13 years later.

This deal values MLSE at 12.5 billion.

[C Court]

Didn’t see that one coming.

[JD143726]

Masai is gone. 100%.

Also no more TSN Raps…

[Smalltown]

Gut reaction is this is not good for the Raptors.

[redeye514]

This is horrible news.

F#k Rogers, and that doofus silver spoon fed whale at the top.

With Larry likely out soon.. Rogers will get rid of Masai, like he always wanted to do, in a couple of years.. and then all the FireMasai crowd in here will finally have their wish!

Bring on the Ed Rogers / Mark Shapiro / Russ Atkins brand Raptors basketball! Hoo-ray, Hoo-rah!!!!

[OakleyDokely]

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.

Ugh.
