Some good analysis here on the bull case for women’s sport #SportsBiz forbes.com/sites/priyaobe…

I think the NBA is about to enjoy a golden era in Europe and in France in particular. Four French players taken in first round of the draft last night, including #1 overall, following Wemby going #1 a year ago. That’s a lot of elite talent in the league espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

The first round of the 2024 #NBADraft wrapped up late last night, and France was arguably the biggest winner 🏀 Zaccharie Risacher and Alex Sarr went 1-2 in the draft, marking the first time two French players were selected with the first two picks. Read more ⬇️

Smart move @ESPN is getting into the sports tourism business with an MLB stadium tour. Fans trust ESPN to stand for quality, and trust is arguably the strongest USP you can have in a market sometimes tainted with counterfeiting and rip offs #SportsBiz frontofficesports.com/espn-mlb-ballp…

Huge news for two reasons: 1. A $250m valuation for a women’s sport team completely resets the market 2. Can you imagine a better owner than Iger, one of the best media and entertainment execs in history?

What a tribute 👏

As ever Kelly Simmons OBE speaks so well. Beyond Southgate, The The FA deserves credit for the infrastructure it has built around its national teams. It should be no surprise that results at tournaments have improved after the construction of St George’s Park theguardian.com/football/artic…

Credit where credit is due - this is the way to deliver a season ticket! #SportsBiz

Is it time to rethink the cookiepocalypse? Google has today backtracked on its long term plan to remove cookies from its Chrome browser. The future of marketing is suddenly looking a lot more like the past… bbc.com/news/articles/…

Big news for county cricket (if approved by @ECB) & for sport in Southampton. The price tag will raise a few eyebrows, although don’t forget it includes the Utilita Bowl and all its facilities - hotel etc. But only 51% of Southern Brave (rest stays with ECB… for now) #SportsBiz

This is a stunning graphic bringing to life an incredible race 👏

Sometimes to prove you are the best, you have to show it in different environments. It is now crystal clear that Emma Hayes os the very best after that Olympic Gold for the USA #Paris2024 #TeamUSA #WomensFootball

Fair play this is a thing of beauty

This is a game changer. For the first time women’s club football will be run entirely by extraordinary people who think about nothing other than how to make women’s football bigger & better

I am lucky enough to have spent a fair bit of time with Nikki and always so impressed by her vision for women’s football in England. This interview is a great read 👇

One of the most significant parts of this new collective bargaining agreement is that it shows how women’s sport can be brave, make different choices from men’s sport, and put female athletes at the heart of those decisions. Bravo 👏

The Hundred has been a trailblazer for professional women’s team sports in the UK. Really enjoyed this piece by Beth Barrett-Wild on the fantastic progress made, as well as why equity is creating value for potential investors into the competition #SportsBiz cityam.com/england-womens…

This is amazing 😍

Why I love East London…. Just discovered this walking along the canal at Haggerston

A robust transfer market is a positive indicator for growth of women’s football - and this excludes a world record transfer fee from Arsenal Women being turned down by FC Barcelona for Keira Walsh. London City Lionesses not only busiest club in the window, but also the most interesting!
