"We had the World Cup for two decades and it was a big part of ESPN’s identity and DNA. Of course we’re interested."

"The World Cup also reminded us that presentation matters. Every knockout match felt enormous because television treated it that way. The music. The entrances. The crowd. The anticipation. Nobody needs to convince viewers Spain versus Argentina matters. The broadcast simply gets out of the way and lets the occasion breathe."

"The establishment has changed. When one of the largest and most influential voices in sports reaches millions where modern audiences actually consume content, it isn't operating outside the mainstream anymore."
