Episode notes

From determining who has the greatest responsibility in stopping sports piracy to whether or not something actually is IP theft, StreamTime Sports host Chris Stone debates SportsPro technology editor Steve McCaskill. The pair also discuss the launch of FloCollege, a European Super Bowl, UFC’s next broadcast deal, and Fubo TV’s partnership with the Athletic.

Key points:

  • Why the launch of FloCollege is meaningful for the US Sports market
  • What should fans and sports do when there are no legal broadcast partners?
  • Who is most responsible for piracy – rights holders, broadcasters, law enforcement, or fans?
  • Does it make sense for the NFL to have a full slate of morning games on Sunday?
  • Have we reached a saturation point for the NFL?
  • Would Netflix strike a deal with the UFC given its relationship with WWE?
  • Is Fubo TV and The Athletic’s partnership a good pairing?
