@ChristanWNBA Laila Lacan, Carla Leite, Pauline Astier, Marine Fauthoux. That is a tough choice for who you starting PG is for the next ten years.
I truly believe France will be Olympics champions at some point over the next decade.
@NiallMGray@dan_routledge If you can't get TV deals to work, then all hope is lost.
I don't buy that argument. I think with strategic minds building from an understanding of the different segments of interest you could build a strong multi country broadcast offer in a relatively short time period.
@NiallMGray@dan_routledge NBA Europe's financial success and failure will all come down to TV deals and getting non-basketball fans engaged with the coverage. This is where Euroleague has always failed. It does a great job with basketball die hards but does nothing to build relationships with casual fans
@dan_routledge Agreed the terminology is wrong for fans but on a psychological level it isn't the sport on face value you are exchanging your hard earned money for. You are exchanging it for feelings like belonging, the opportunity to communicate who you are to others and entertainment.
This shouldn’t be a controversial take - but in a culture where everyone wants something for free and we don’t associate a value with it by default - if you would go to the game for free and are asking for a free ticket, then you should be paying for a ticket. 🎟️🇬🇧🏀
@Keir_Starmer You continue to be a coward on all levels. Your successor can't come soon enough. I just hope they come with far more backbone and determination to do the right thing, not just the easy thing.
