Talking With Ron Futrell – September 7, 2020 - a podcast by Talk About Las Vegas with Ira

This week, Ira Sternberg spoke with veteran journalist Ron Futrell, who has been covering sports in Las Vegas for decades and has reported on the growth and challenges for both college and professional sports. In this 30-minute episode of Talk About Las Vegas, Futrell talks about the challenges facing Las Vegas professional and college sports as a result of the coronavirus; how major league teams will play to empty stadiums and arenas to fulfill their TV contracts and at least earn that portion of the revenue stream; the devastating financial impact on minor league teams and their players, as well as on UNLV sports; and one of the top sports stories he broke (among many Futrell has reported) that no one else in the local media would touch.
