[Swprograms] OT: Regional sports networks (was: Fwd: Sirius Canada (was 'An articlefromglobetechnology.com'))



30 years ago it would be rare to see a televised home game in any
sport, except for baseball on Sundays.  Some things have changed over
the years, but professional sports is still an annoyingly greedy
institution.

/rant on:  if I were czar, I'd force any team that wanted public help
with any stadium project to transfer ownership of the team logo &
likeness to the municipal entity funding the stadium project.  That
way, if the team leaves town, their identity stays put -- as was done
when the NFL Browns moved from Cleveland to Baltimore.

I'm sorry to hear that other companies do what Comcast does.  All the
more need for someone to step in and tell them how to be good citizens
as well as good business men IMHO.
