Executives from Major League Baseball were in front of the Senate's Commerce Committee today to discuss selling the league's Extra Innings TV package exclusively to DirecTV.
The hearing was called by Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), who had this to say:
"Baseball is an integral part of our culture. Sports leagues have tremendous market power. What we need to do is make sure that market power works in the public interest."
My take: People think they have a God-given right to watch their favorite sports teams. Not so. Baseball knows this is not a popular move but has still chosen to go through with the deal. There's nothing wrong with that.
