We're talking PLL all show today!
First, it's All Star Weekend. We cover the All Star game itself, including why I think it's better than the all star game in most other sports. We talk about voting early, whether or not that really matters, and the nature of fan voted all star games.
Then, it's the big news of the week. The PLL secured $100 million in a Series E financing round led by Ares and Joe Tsai. We talk the announcement, the celebrity investors including Glen Powell and Rob Mac, and the stated goals for the money. Then, we ask some questions about what the next two years will look like with this investment, and how the next major money event for the PLL will take shape.
Finally, since it's the midway point, we take stock of the league. We look at the positional races across the PLL and make the case for some first timers at each position to win some hardware.
