I don’t think it’s too hard to imagine. I imagine the profit loss is overstated because overhead is significantly lower since they “rent” arenas from property owners who are more than happy to fill offseason seats. but yeah, not hard to imagine that if you get a few girls playing at a young age, at least some small % of them will take an interested in NBA which (as we all know) is a way better product. It shouldn’t take too many lifetime fans to fill a $10m gap.
Think he has it right that the league probably breaks about even and they’re fine with that
