Trump's spending bill to slash tax breaks for sports team owners
The GOP spending bill that advanced through the House includes a proposal to slash tax breaks for sports team owners in half – which could slow deals by the ultra-rich to buy NBA and NFL teams. Since 2004, owners of sports teams have been able to write off the entire value of intangible assets – like player contracts and sponsorships – over a period of 15 years. These assets typically make up the bulk of a team's value, accounting for hundreds of millions of dollars in deductibles for owners.

AP But President Trump's massive 1,100-page tax bill, which the House approved last Thursday, would chop the amount owners could write off by half. The bill is now headed for the Senate. Those changes would raise an estimated $991 million in revenue over 10 years, according to the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation. Current sports team owners would not be impacted, only future acquisitions, but the tax break change could significantly cool the speedy pace of dealmaking among billionaires. Advertisement Just earlier this year, investor Bill Chisholm bought the Boston Celtics for a record-breaking $6.1 billion. NFL team owners, during a two-day meeting last week, were encouraged to call senators in their home states and urge them not to include a similar provision in the Senate version of the bill, according to The New York Times. The write-off change 'felt punitive' and like a means for Trump to gain leverage over the team owners, the president of one NFL team told the Times.

'The President is committed to ensuring that sports teams overcharging ticketholders do not receive favorable tax treatment,' spokesperson Harrison Fields told The Post in a statement. 'His focus is on fairness for fans, not team ownership.'

Season ticket-holders, meanwhile, have sued the Houston Texans team for more than $1 million, alleging it charged them more than other ticket holders. The White House declined to clarify which incident of overcharging to which the spokesperson is referring. 4 New York Mets owner Steve Cohen speaks before a baseball game against the New York Yankees in May. AP More than 40 of the world's 500 richest individuals own sports teams based in the US, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. They boast a combined net worth of nearly $1 trillion, with some of the biggest names in business sitting courtside. Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who has a $132.5 net worth, bought the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers for $2 billion in 2014.

YouTube Makes Big Sports Media Hire, According to Report
YouTube made a major play for live sports rights when it acquired the exclusive rights to the NFL's Sunday Ticket package. Football fans are able to access games live from their phone, or tablet or whatever device they're able to see YouTube on, putting the game in front of more eyes than ever before. Advertisement As streaming services and networks continue to bid for live sports rights, YouTube reportedly made a major hire from a soon-to-be rival in the sports media space. According to Bloomberg's Lucas Shaw, YouTube has hired Justin Connolly, a former top executive at Disney. Connolly will serve as YouTube's global head of media and sports. His role will oversee the service's relationship with major media brands like the networks that bring content to YouTube TV. Connolly will also be in charge of YouTube's live sports portfolio. In addition to the full out-of-market Sunday Ticket package, YouTube also has exclusive rights to the Week 1 Brazil game in the NFL this season. Advertisement This year, that game will feature the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs in a marquee divisional matchup to start the season. Google's video division, which includes YouTube and YouTube TV, accounts for more global television viewership than any other streaming service. The $36 billion in ad revenue the company generated last year is more than Disney, Paramount Global, Fox Corp. and NBCUniversal combined. Connolly has worked with YouTube in the past, negotiating ESPN and Disney networks' inclusion into the YouTube TV lineup. His most recent role at Disney was head of platform distribution, and he held multiple positions with the main company and with ESPN. The move comes just weeks before ESPN is set to make a major step into the streaming era with the unveiling of its new direct-to-consumer offering. For the first time, fans will be able to access the entire ESPN content suite without the need for a traditional television subscription. Advertisement The service includes access to ESPN's linear networks, its streaming content and more for $29.99 per month. We'll see if ESPN can re-establish itself as a premier brand after losing subscribers for years to the slow death of cable. We'll also find out if Connolly can help transform YouTube into one of the biggest content and media companies on the planet.

Global favourite video-sharing platform to stream NFL game for the first time. Here, have a quick peek
Held at the iconic Corinthians Arena home turf for Brazilian soccer powerhouse SC Corinthians, this is the first time the NFL will open its season with a game played in South America. The game will be available completely free to fans worldwide on YouTube. While YouTube already holds the rights to the NFL's Sunday Ticket, a subscription service that lets fans watch out-of-market Sunday afternoon games, this Brazil showdown will be YouTube's first time streaming a regular-season NFL game live to a global audience for free. However, the broadcast won't be accessible in a few countries, including Canada. The game will also be aired on local television in the home markets of both teams.

A complete 32-team guide Even with long-term deals in place with major media partners like Fox, NBCUniversal, CBS, ESPN, and Amazon, the NFL has steadily carved out room for streaming exclusives. Netflix streamed two Christmas Day games last season and is locked in for more during the 2025–26 campaign. Now, YouTube's turn has come. 'We are excited to expand our relationship with YouTube to bring this year's Brazil game to a worldwide audience,' said Hans Schroeder, the NFL's executive vice president of media distribution, in a press briefing. 'YouTube and YouTube TV have been incredible partners of the NFL for several years and boast an immense global reach, and we look forward to Week 1 in São Paulo.' The global video-sharing platform has also signed a multi-year deal to stream the annual Super Bowl Flag Football game. 'Last year, people spent over 350 million hours watching official NFL content on YouTube,' said Mary Ellen Coe, YouTube's chief business officer.

NFL likely will peel more and more games away for "one-off" deals
For years, the NFL had a handful of broadcast partners that exclusively televised all games. A new trend has begun, and it likely will continue. And expand. It's the exclusive 'one-off' arrangement, with a game being taken away from a traditional partner (usually, CBS or Fox) and dropped into a different window. It started a decade ago, with Yahoo! streaming a Sunday game between the Bills and Jaguars from London in 2015. Two years later, a Ravens-Jaguars game in London was streamed by Yahoo! The dynamic returned in a big way last year, when non-partner Netflix (to the chagrin of existing partner Amazon) got the two Christmas games that were played on Wednesday, December 25. This year, the Friday night game in Brazil has landed with YouTube, which distributes Sunday Ticket but has no broadcast deal. Julia Alexander of Puck recently noted that she's watching this trend, based on one undeniable truth: "[T]he NFL can do what it wants, and usually does.' Indeed it can, and indeed it does. When it comes to NFL broadcast rights, the customer is never right. Given the limited supply, the league can dictate terms — and indiscriminately yank games away from long standing partners and hand them to a company with which the league has little or no history. The league will keep doing it. Especially if/when (when) the regular-season expands to 18 games. And when (not if) the league pulls the plug on the existing broadcast deals four years earlier, putting everything up for bid after 2029. Through it all, the league will find more ways to carve out standalone games, the broadcasting equivalent of coming up with more ways to cram cheese into a pizza. That Week 1 Friday night game, for example, which works only when the first Friday of the season coincides with the first Friday in September, will become — we believe — a 3:00 p.m. ET Friday kickoff in the years when Week 1 coincides with the second Friday in September. There's also the first Saturday of September, which like the first Friday night is fair game under the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961. Given that Friday nights become fair game again as of the second Friday in December, games could land there, too. Whenever the league can televise one game and one game alone, millions gather. Frankly, it's amazing that Tuesday night and Wednesday night have not already become a regular staple for NFL scheduling. It's just a matter of time for further stuffing of the stuffed crust. Especially since it allows the NFL to do business with anyone who wants to broadcast NFL games, while still keeping all of them tiptoeing on football-shaped eggshells.
