Patriots owner Robert Kraft cites 'labor peace' as motivation for league to sell NFL Network to ESPN
The NFL announced Tuesday that it is selling the bulk of its NFL Media assets including the linear rights to the RedZone Channel to ESPN, confirming a Friday report that the league was parting with them in exchange for a 10% equity stake in the network. The NFL and ESPN announced the deal — which still requires approval of regulators and league owners — with boilerplate statements from commissioner NFL Roger Goodell and Disney CEO Bob Iger. A statement from New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft to NFL Network shed further light on the league's motivation for the sale. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] "I think we've hooked up with the best partners we can have," Kraft said, per "That will help expose us to more homes, more of an international audience. "Strategically, we have to grow our salary cap and can only do that by — if we want to keep labor peace, we have to grow our audience. This transaction helps us to do that." So, per Kraft, increasing salary cap demands from players require new revenue streams and, therefore, a larger audience. The deal aims to provide that expanded audience and to allow the NFL to continue to grow its footprint as the dominant player on the U.S. sports landscape. Conflict of interest concerns loom The deal also raises conflict of interest concerns in terms of the the NFL owning a substantial stake in the network that covers it most. With the deal complete, the most powerful U.S. sports league now owns a 10% stake in the world's most powerful sports network that dedicates considerable resources to covering the NFL. For ESPN, the deal brings a valuable network of dedicated NFL media under its umbrella, most notably shared rights to NFL RedZone, the league's popular Sunday broadcast that shows multiple games at once. Per the announcement, ESPN will "own broad rights to RedZone" and distribute it to pay TV operators. NFL will continue to operate and produce the RedZone channel and will maintain the rights to distribute it digitally, according to ESPN. ESPN will also own and operate NFL Network. In addition, ESPN will acquire the rights to three more games per season, the joint statement announced. NFL Network will continue to broadcast seven games per season, per the deal. ESPN will also gain the rights to the NFL's fantasy football platform and merge it with its own. NFL will retain control of NFL Films and ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro touted the consolidation of media platforms as creating "a premier destination for football fans." The deal was announced a day before ESPN's parent company Disney is scheduled to report earnings. It also arrives on the heels of a spring announcement that ESPN will offer a $29.99 standalone streaming service to consumers that's independent of cable, satellite or streaming packages. NFL Network will be incorporated into that service, which is scheduled to launch in early fall.

Trump Thanks Casey Wasserman For Olympic Medals: 'Can I Say That I Won Them Athletically?'
It's not the Nobel Prize, but Donald Trump was still pretty excited when Chairman of the 2028 L.A. Olympics organizing committee Casey Wasserman handed him a box of Olympic medals at a White House ceremony today. During the event, he president signed an executive order establishing a task force on the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, a group that features the president as its chairman. More from Deadline Donald Trump Says He'd Use National Guard Or Military To Keep 2028 L.A. Olympics Safe Former Disney TV Chief Peter Rice To Oversee Los Angeles Olympics Opening & Closing Ceremonies 'South Park' Trolls Donald Trump's DHS Ahead Of ICE Barbie Episode: "Wait, So We ARE Relevant?" In presenting the medals, the Wasserman founder and CEO invoked Ronald Reagan, who he said presided over the 1984 games in Los Angeles. 'You'll preside over our games,' he told Trump and the event. 'And so, we have for you a full set of the '84 original medals.' After applause, Trump asked, 'Can I say I won them athletically?' Trump later posted about the event no less that five times on Truth Social, including one video of the medal presentation with the caption, 'Thank you to Casey Wasserman, Chairman of 2028 LA Olympics…' Trump was criticized last month when he stayed on the winners dais as English soccer club Chelsea collected their medals and celebrated winning the FIFA Club World Cup. Chelsea captain Reece James appeared to ask Trump, 'Are you going to leave?' To which the president smiled and clapped his hands. Trump was not only seen pocketing one of the medallions that all the Chelsea players received, but the president also said FIFA had gifted him the original Club World Cup trophy and that the hardware held aloft by Chelsea was a copy. Some have expressed concern that Trump, who has repeatedly claimed credit for landing the L.A. Games, will attach himself to them in a similar way. Many have encouraged him to do so. During an appearance at a Morgan Stanley media conference earlier this year, Endeavor and TKO exec Mark Shapiro said, 'President Trump is going to walk out of office with the trophy that is the L.A. Olympics, that 'I did it, I brought it back, I was behind it, I put the resources, the support,'' the exec said. 'He'll be sitting front and center. I'm a true believer that this will be his Olympics as much as anything else.' Trump has for years been obsessed with medals of all kinds, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, which has been given to four other presidents. Asked in 2018 whether he deserved the prize, Trump answered, 'Everyone thinks so, but I would never say it.' He seemed to change his mind on such self-assertion when queried about the prize again earlier this year. 'They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize,'' Trump said in response to a reporter's question. 'It's too bad. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me.'
