The Wall Street Journal’s “The Future of Sports” event
The four big shots talk. Here’s the video. Here’s the recap:
On the global front, the four execs strongly rebuffed moderator suggestions that they were surrendering growth opportunities to soccer, and conversely, said their global market share of entertainment-related consumer and sponsor spending was actually increasing due in part to cutbacks within the American and Indian film industries. “This is an area particularly where in five or 10 years, you’re not going to be able to recognize our sport, it’ll be so different,” said MLB Commissioner Bud Selig.
The mood among the four was light and collegial, which was to be expected given that each has been with his respective league for more than 15 years and they know each other well. But NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, in particular, directed several jocular barbs to the others, such as funneling a question on brawling to Stern and Selig.
