Description
The NFL isn’t just America’s favorite pastime. It’s also a business giant that generates two-thirds of its revenue from one source: media rights.
In this episode of Market Outsiders, Namaan and Jenny Rae unpack:
- Why the league is considering renegotiating billion-dollar contracts years ahead of schedule
- How streaming platforms like Amazon, Netflix, and YouTube TV are reshaping the game
- Why the NFL holds more leverage than ever before
