## Resource

Do professional sports team owners truly care about their fans—or is everything driven by profits? On this clip from the debut episode of Franchise Value, host Todd M. Schoenberger asks sports business expert Shana Sissel one of the biggest questions in professional sports. Shana explains why owners absolutely care about fans—but perhaps not in the way many people think. She breaks down the metrics that really matter: ticket sales, television ratings, merchandise revenue, and licensing. While social media outrage may dominate headlines, owners are watching one thing above all else—whether fans continue to spend. If the stadiums stay full, the jerseys keep selling, and millions continue tuning in, the business model remains strong. It's a candid conversation about the intersection of fandom, business, and billion-dollar sports franchises. 🔗 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://biztalktodaytv.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📧 Contact on Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠support@biztalktodaytv.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📲 Download the Biz Talk Today TV app on Apple & Android devices. 📢 Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed on this program are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of CrossCheck Media Inc., Biz Talk Today TV (BTT), or their affiliated entities and distribution partners.
