I agree that its good for the players (in this scenario), it reminds me of how in Formula 1 a few years back they implemented the "Halo" which almost every driver hated at first. Over time it was proven through accidents in races that the Halo saves drivers from debris and fatal collisions.

I think Netflix getting more into sports by signing deals with MLB, WWE, and Boxing Organisations allows for streaming services to broaden their products and it shows how much influence sports has on Broadcasting media. $50 Million seems like a lot but having a monopoly on an event is huge for media

I agree Havyn and as a result of the fight, the Pacers lost many of their players for the remainder of the season which costed them what many thought was a for sure championship. The Pacers were beating the reigning champion Pistons by 15 before the fight broke out.

Its interesting how fans get angry at players and especially centers in the NBA who are often injured. That social pressure plus wanting to be a leader and show up for your team makes players push through injury. Pushing through can lead to irreparable damage as seen with Joel Embiid recently.
