The MLB arbitration panel specifically picked an award amount that would not bankrupt MASN. I'm curious about the $298 million, the amount paid would be the difference in rights fees minus a reduction in the Nats profit sharing for those years.
In addition to being a tremendous jackass, Peter Angelos is also a really shrewd guy. Of course he set up the RSN so the lion's share of the money was distributed through profits rather than rights fees - first, the Orioles had to split rights fees 50/50 and got the lion's share of the profit sharing, and second, profit sharing is excluded from revenue sharing calculations for MLB's purposes.
freak Peter Angelos. I hope the judgment DOES bankrupt MASN and he doesn't get to suck off the DMV teat into eternity like he wants.
