I don't think it's great, but I'm not as down on it as he is.<br /><br />(Also, I think that Parkes is secretly one of these Christie Pits-loving closet Bob Elliot types who wants to go back to the days where there was no advertising on baseball fields, and it was all purity of essence and all that shit...)<br /><br />(BTW: Love you Parkes baby!)<br /><br />I wouldn't necessarily think it is a bad thing if you have a central team of the best sports marketers who is charged with selling Leafs/Jays/Raps/FC to consumers and to the business community for sponsorships.<br /><br />And I'm sure that Rogers could bundle that shit up, right?Tao of Stiebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459135109404905466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-6153721680592369192010-12-02T12:56:43.137-05:002010-12-02T12:56:43.137-05:00Good point Anon, but on the other hand, maybe the ...Good point Anon, but on the other hand, maybe the opportunity to cross-promote the Jays to Leafs fans could actually end up increasing interest in the team. I read an article a while back about AA and Brian Burke's professional relationship and they both pointed out that there really shouldn't be a gap between Toronto baseball fans vs. Toronto hockey fans... could a common ownership group (and by extension, integration of the different sports teams' brands on some level) help convert at least some members of each group into Toronto sports fans instead? <br /><br />If the sale happens, it'll be interesting to see how they choose to handle that kind of thing.Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878921441543129555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-75463497517649408612010-12-02T12:56:26.640-05:002010-12-02T12:56:26.640-05:00Yeah, I don't really know what I think, but I&...Yeah, I don't really know what I think, but I'm certainly not confident that it'll be a good thing for the Blue Jays. <br /><br />As above anonymous says, the Jays already get the raw end of the stick when it comes to promotion and coverage, and that's as Rogers' sole sports content producer. What happens when it grows to include several others?<br /><br />I'm worried that Rogers strategy is more along the lines of: "Look what baseball is doing for us.
