Twellman is so difficult to listen to when Miami is playing. If Miami isn't playing, he spends his time talking about Messi anyway.

This is a Saja Boys / K-Pop Demon Hunters reference.

BTS have Korean issued diplomatic passports, and have spoken at the UN multiple times to promote international causes unrelated to K-pop. It is already very much a thing.

Sonker, I was not familiar with your game. I would like to apologize, you sound delicious.

Just LAFC. Korean fans are very much "follow the player over the team" types.

MLS Season Pass in Korea didn't move the needle. I was the rare subscriber.

Coupang Play, the big soccer streamer, bought the rights to show AppleTV MLS LAFC games with Korea language coverage after Son joined and now all the cable broadcasters are showing old LAFC games with Son highlights.

AppleTV is Trillion dollar company, AppleTv overall is a tiny portion of their overall revenue.

Don't lose sleep over it. If their bet that live sports brings viewership, learning the ropes with MLS might pay off big time with later bids on bigger global brands.

Apple TV has F1 now. Having two sports behind two different paywalls doesn't work. Subsidized live sports grows AppleTVs audience.

In the future when additional sports rights expenditures cause AppleTV base subscriptions increased costs to rise, will people be willing to pay more monthly?
