Re: Comcast's argument, counter-intuitive said by Z80A:Broadcast rights are owned by the team and the league and if VZ or Fox Sports rolls in with a better offer the team and league will certainly take it. I don't have a problem with Fox Sports putting forth money for these broadcast rights, but I don't think that Verizon or Comcast should be able to do this, as it creates unfair competitive advantages. Let Comcast and Verizon squabble over the right to carry Fox Sports in a fair manner, and if only one can make a deal, fine. But I don't think it should be allowed for a content distributor to own Fox Sports unless specific rules are put into place to prevent anti-competitive practices. There are good arguments on both sides of this issue. |
