Profit margin, so I guess you could say tax breaks for the wealthy since it is Disney we're talking about.

I thought it was an interesting blurb considering how much money they have been paying for things.

Guess this will have more people working for independent production companies who televise games and feed them to the Mothership.

CBS sports and MLB network are all I watch now days anyways.

Another liberal corporate giant (see Apple) not paying their fair share.

Apple avoided taxes, didn't evade them.
Who let them avoid them?

ROKU. Not a big competitor now but it and the like are proving that the writing is on the wall. Sooner or later the major sports and conferences will realize they don't need ESPN.

Apple avoids taxes but still pays 2.5% of ALL income taxes. GE avoids paying ANY taxes.

This is great news for FS1...it will be an employer's market to get it started.

I avoid taxes by donating to Louisiana Tech. Does that make me un-American?

A sign of things to come for E$PN?...during a Women's Super Regional tetecast, the upper right scoreboard box rolling other scores suddenly shows this....
