Stadium BS: News You Didn’t Know + Turf Wars Book Review

In this episode of Stadium BS, we break down the hidden forces shaping sports and fan culture today.

We explore emerging tech that can target ads based on emotional responses — and how leagues, brands, and media may be using fan psychology in ways most people don’t realize.

We also discuss the reported exit of MLBPA Executive Director Tony Clark, questioning the timing and what it could mean for player power, labor negotiations, and the possibility of another MLB lockout looming in 2027.

Plus, we dive into the growing world of prediction markets and the push toward federal regulation — a shift that could redefine sports betting and fan engagement moving forward.

Finally, we review Turf Wars by DeMaurice Smith, unpacking revealing insights into the inner workings of the National Football League and the power dynamics behind the game.

If you love sports business, media, and the stories behind the stadium lights — this episode connects the dots.
