The land of the start ups are over. Once they get to a certain size, the larger corporations gobble them up via acquisitions. They and can scale them better, faster, the owners get their payouts and usually retain contracts with the company acquiring. We see it religiously now in my business. Hate to say it, but I wonder if 50-100 years from now if we begin to morph into an some kind of oligarchy. We already are an oligarchy people just don't want to admit it...but that's not a discussion for this site. I agree with the general consensus...while the potential impact on some of the movie franchises is cool this is ultimately not a good thing...at all.

Thelonebillsfan Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The jewel of the deal is the YES Network. That alone is worth $10B easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils1854 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Didnt realize that the Mouse already owns 33% of MLBAM/BAMTV. Add in Fox's rights to streaming MLB, and we have pretty much seen the end to MLB TV/NHL Package as we know it. No more $5 flash deal on July 4th. No $20 half season deal. Prices are going to skyrocket, and quality will probably go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch the Braves, Hawks, and Preds on Sport South/Fox Sports South, and if Disney/ESPN acquires it, its going to go downhill fast, and who knows what stupid direction they will take them. Also, it sounds like Disney would own MLB TV as well, and you know they will f**k that up somehow. Marvel and X-Men together? Whooptie do. Hockey? The 6th most popular sport in this country (at best)? Whooptie do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Disney, please buy Fox News and only play your Disney Original Movies on it.(and do the same with MSNBC while you're at it) America will thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if they got rid of the Kardashians, like just took them out the day they bought Fox, I would be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Honestly, how much bigger can Disney get before they get an anti-trust lawsuit against them and are forced to be broken up like Ma Bell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y*so*blu Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Good idea. Disney doesn't own enough stuff. We really need to throw them a few more bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
