Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the NFL's new long-term labor accord. Despite vocal opposition from some big-name stars, NFL players voted narrowly to accept the new CBA, insuring a decade of labor peace that will let the league turn its attention to negotiating billions in new TV deals. Also talked about is the myriad ways the coronavirus pandemic is upending U.S. sports, beyond just the cancellation of games. They include stadium construction, media networks, ticket companies, gambling houses, hourly arena workers, college administrators, and plenty more.
