Jemele explains why the cost of acquiring live sports rights, years of operating losses, and the economics of building a network make it an incredibly difficult business. ______________________________________________________________________ SPOLITICS is where we don’t just stick to sports, but examine the world and all of its complexities through the lens of sports.
