PE buys up minor league baseball teams and then begins to work its magic agitating for local government subsidies. We have business school scholar after scholar write about the supposed "efficiency" etc. of PE investment, but what is really going on is not efficiency but asset stripping, crushing of labor, evasion of the law, and a constant demand for subsidies. https://lnkd.in/guWpR8Tz

Big news out of Germany that, for the third time, the DFL has failed to secure support for private equity investment for a Bundesliga and 2.Bundesliga commercial vehicle. This is despite advancing through negotiations to the point where five potential strategic partners had been whittled down, to leave CVC as the sole remaining investment option. This is a significant example of the importance of fan sentiment and how prominent opposition can impact commercial decisions. Despite the DFL outlining the parameters for the deal; no impact on 50+1 rule and only seeking to sell 12.5% stake in its global media rights, fan opposition impacted votes at the December vote and the decision of the executive committee is an indication that rightsholder must consider the impact that private equity investment will have on fan relations. #privateequity #football #investment #bundesliga #mediarights

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 Let's examine the success story of Big League Advantage, a prominent investment firm that has effectively implemented this concept. BLA, a multimillion-dollar investment firm specializing in baseball players, particularly those in the minor leagues, was founded by Michael Schwimer, a former minor league baseball player himself. Schwimer recognized the financial hardships endured by many players in the minors and sought to alleviate them. BLA provides upfront investments in exchange for a percentage of future earnings, offering players crucial financial stability as they progress toward the majors. With nearly 600 players invested in to date, including notable names like Fernando Tatis Jr., BLA's model has yielded remarkable success. Typically, players agree to share approximately 15% of their earnings in exchange for upfront payments ranging from $100,000 to several million dollars, contingent upon their potential. Prompti identifies parallels between the challenges encountered by baseball players and those faced by golfers, presenting a similar opportunity for financial backing in the golfing realm. Many aspiring golfers would eagerly embrace the opportunity to secure their financial futures while pursuing their ambitions. Drawing inspiration from BLA's accomplishments, Prompti recognizes the substantial potential for investors to positively impact the lives of golfers. Join us in seizing this opportunity while you have the chance!
