Robinhood, Live Sports Broadcasting Battle, Daytona 500 Tech
Headlines from Feb 18, 2025 across sports, business, tech & content.
Good morning! I forgot to touch on the NBA All Star game format yesterday. What did you think?
I didn’t watch every minute of it, but tuned in enough to know that I just didn’t care for it. Call me traditional… But I like the old way better.
I do find it interesting that the superstars are “mumbling” about potentially joining the Dunk Contest next year. That could be fun!
In the end, it may be a better idea to simply give all players a “rest” and scrap this whole All-Star game concept. I don’t know — moving on.
Here are the top stories from overnight.

Today in my daily browsing of LinkedIn, I ran into an amazing post by Jack Settleman of SnapBack sports.
Why is this amazing?
Because it’s sooooo true. If you are hungry in sports business or whatever industry you are in… Provide value. Don’t talk about what you “could do”. Just do it!
Great reminder to anyone looking to make their mark… Provide value out of the gate and don’t leave it so open-ended.
