Brief Claudia interview

Only saw FB and IG links for this, hopefully someone with better Spanish can translate. I think she says that the teammates and coaches have been helpful and that she has an English teacher.

>As the NBA and NFL have priced out buyers, there’s now increased demand for sports teams with more affordable valuations. That’s helped drive the recent NWSL surge, they say. There’s more liquidity at NWSL team price points, which has led to bidding wars and soaring valuations. 

>While the most recent winning buyers — Blank and the Haslams — are already owners of NFL and other sports teams, they’ve had to pay increasingly high prices to fight off other offers. There are far more buying groups willing to write a consortium check for $200 million than pay $1 billion or more for minority stakes in the biggest leagues.

>“There’s a lot of demand to get into the sports business but people can’t write the checks to buy into the big four anymore. So what they’re doing is they’re substituting,” said veteran sports banker Sal Galatioto, president of Galatioto Sports Partners. “When supply is fixed and demand goes up, people will bid more to win. The underlying economics are not as important.”
