The Financialization of Sports: How Wall Street Reshaped the Game

This episode examines the growing influence of Wall Street and finance on the world of professional sports. We'll explore how the influx of private equity, hedge funds, and institutional investors has transformed the ownership, operations, and economics of major sports leagues and teams. We'll discuss the implications of this financialization trend, from the skyrocketing valuations of sports franchises to the increasing emphasis on profitability and shareholder returns over traditional fan engagement and team performance.
