BusinessWeek's Sports Power 100

That list is a FRAUD! since Lucas Wiseman didn't make it.

 

He's certainly more influential that the WNBA president.

 

They're frighteningly even in some markets. And I'm an ACC guy myself.

FOTF, once again ... Game. Set. Match. How is Bernie Ecclestone only No. 57? Oh yeah ... the Americans don't think much of Formula 1. Ameri-centric also explains Brian France at No. 6.

 

[blue]Does this mean that Roger Goodell is more now than Tiger Woods?

 

Dear Departed Mr Mills 51,

I say that and I have no big interest in F1. But I don't have to get it to see that it's bigger in the world theatre than these editors believe.

YHS, etc

 

FotF: I keep looking for Oscar de la Hoya in the Top 100. Is he not there? Who the hell did this list?

 

Nobody is counted twice. I'm assuming Peter King had no hand in compiling this.

 

Mr Nafelson,

WNBA @ the century mark. Boxing zilch. Boxing might be ailing, on the critical list, whatever, but so long as it has any pulse there has to be some representation. Not as many meaningful fights, sure, but at least them that do make money. (I suppose HBO execs would qualify.)

YHS, etc

 

No. Does the Big Ten?

 

When the WNBA grosses 60 mil for the season much less 36 minutes of ring work like Oscar did in May, than maybe...

That's ridiculous. One boxing match created about a 100 million in revenue and purses and neither man gets a sniff. Oscar owns his own promotion, just bought Ring Magazine and is making ridiculous cash.

 

Mr Nafelson,

Just as the WNBA is pulled up by the last three letters of the acronym, OdlH is dragged down by boxing's perceived malaise (not that it's a fiction, just over-stated, a cyclical phenomenon, i.e. Boxing is dead. Again.).

YHS, etc

 

De La Hoya should be on before the WNBA commish. And Dana White, president of the UFC, should be on before anybody from the WNBA as well.
