Friedman: “Not today. I still believe there’s a lot to type of find out here, Rick. I do believe they are continuing, firstly, there conference in between the league and the gamers association where they’re going to speak about, I do believe the wage is going to turn up.
I believe everyone’s anticipating a $1 million however I do believe the gamers association and the league are going to talk. Look, they’re not going to touch their escow cap. The league understands it. The gamers understand it. But I have actually spoken with some individuals on both sides of his formula who think there is a bit more versatility due to the fact that income has actually been strong.
They believe that you might go to $1.5 million or perhaps even $2 million without screwing around the capacity for the future and getting this all settled.

And that might truly assist a few of these groups. So that’s something.
But I likewise do believe, are making calls. They’re seeing what’s out there, preparing however I don’t anticipate anything quickly.
