NBC Sports Partners with Premiere League for US Live Events and Madison
Square Garden Appoints New Executive VP
Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:CMCSA) (NYSE:MSG)
Comcast Corporation’s (NasdaqGS:CMCSA)
NBC Sports and the Premier League have announced a series of live fan events
across the United States beginning in D.C. in September, the AP reports.
NBC Sports chief marketing officer Jenny Storms
told The Associated Press it was “an opportunity to be able to continue to grow
the touch points in the United States for Premier League fans as they don’t
traditionally get it (in person).”
“This is an evolution,” Storms said. “This is now
partnering with the Premier League given how strongly they feel about the U.S.
market and given how important the U.S. market is to them as an organization.”
Madison Square Garden (NYSE:MSG) has named Richard
Constable as the company’s Executive Vice President, Global Head of Government
Relations and Public Affairs, effective immediately. Constable recently served as Senior Vice President,
Government Relations and Commercial Contracts for Wyndham Worldwide
Corporation.
Stephens, Both Williams and Nadal Advance to Round 2 at US Open, Beckham
Jr. Highest-Paid Wide-Receiver in the NFL with New Giants Contract and
Indonesian Jonatan Christie Wins Signature Event at Asian Games
Following the surprising first round elimination of
Simona Halep yesterday at the U.S. Open, stars such as No.3-seeded Sloane
Stephens, Venus and Serena Williams emerged victorious to advance to round two
play today. Serena Williams, who missed last year’s U.S. Open to give birth,
triumphed over Polish player Magda Linette 6-4, 6-0. The Associated Press quotes Williams on the win:
“The first set
was tight. It was my first back here in New York, so that wasn’t the easiest,”
Williams told the crowd. “Once I got settled, I started doing what I’m trying
to do in practice.”
On the men’s
side, four seeded players lost and defending U.S. Open champion Rafael Nadal
beat fellow Spanish player David Ferrer after the latter left with an injury.
Odell Beckham
Jr. is now the highest-paid wide-receiver in the NFL after signing a five-year
contract extension with the New York Giants for $95 million. CNBC quotes
Giants’ General Manager Dave Gettleman on the deal:
"You
can't force things, it's a negotiation. It's a back and forth, both sides have
to be intentional and thoughtful, which we were. It was great negotiating, it
was a very good give and take with Kevin (Abrams, the assistant general
manager) and Zeke (Sandhu, Beckham's agent). We got to the right answer as far
as I'm concerned."
The Jakarta Post reports that
Indonesia’s signature event for the Asian Games, badminton, was won by
Indonesian Jonatan Christie. “Jojo” beat Taiwan’s Chou Tienchen 21-15 in the
final match, securing his gold medal victory.
