It's Just Business-This week in Craven Hypocrisy - a podcast by The Hog Sty

Chris and Steve start off having a conversation about Houston Rocket’s GM Daryl Morey' tweet heard round the world. They discuss the reactions by normally woke NBA league officials, players and coaches as they try not to ruin the expansive China market for professional basketball. This reminds our cohosts about the Mission Statement of the show: It’s always about the cash. Issues of celebrity culture, hybrid governmental models, and Twitter Activism are also discussed. From there it leads into a fascinating look at a negative side affect of soaring team valuations, a smaller pool of people who can actually pay that money for a team. First up is MLB’s changing its bylaws to allow private companies and hedge fund investors be part of ownership groups and the NFL possibly raising its debt ceiling. B th measures might expand the pool of potential buyers, but it comes risk and could possibly be a precursor to greater franchise movement over time.
