If it is debt, it ain’t trend

JUNE 2

Hello hello, I’m back. Won’t talk a lot about the USA trip break, honestly, I remember half of it anyways. I’ll say this:

‍New York: insane, but I don’t think I could survive there. Though I was crazy, but in reality, I’m like Lassie the fucking dog compare to New Yorkers.

‍Dallas: is alright.

‍Austin: one of the best cities I have ever been to. I could live there.

‍

Ok, enough. Let’s dive.

💸 If it is debt, it ain’t trend

‍We love to talk about trends and shit that fades away, but we usually forget to talk about our good friend that always remains relevant; the one that all professional clubs want to escape but nobody can… the good old debt.

I mean, we could go ahead and say that most professional sports teams are broke and multi millionaire investors have been pumping cash just to be a part of it. It’s cultural, pro teams will never go away.

Yes, we can use that as an excuse to say “yo, the OWL and the CDL will have the same story. They will survive!”. Hate to be the one to say it, but nobody watches the OWL, it will die. The CDL at least has a solid niche passionate about the game, but completely salty with the people who run it.

Teams across the OWL and the CDL owe only up to $420M in franchise payments. Lovely.
