Kev txhawb nqa tau yog ib feem ntawm Major League Baseball rov qab mus rau xyoo 1920s. Tau ntau xyoo lawm, cov neeg txhawb nqa tau adorned cov phab ntsa sab nrauv ntawm ballparks nyob ib ncig ntawm pab koomtes. Qee qhov, feem ntau ploj hauv lub sijhawm, yuav tsum muaj kev ntxhov siab - kev lag luam poob, thiab ua tiav tag nrho cov luag haujlwm yuav tsum tau daws.
Nws tsis yog txog xyoo 2001 uas cov tuam txhab kev lag luam tsis txaus siab cuam tshuam rau kev txhawb nqa loj rau MLB thaum Houston-based Enron tshaj tawm tias kev lag luam poob. Thaum lub sij hawm, lawv muaj cai naming rau dab tsi yog Minute Maid Park, lub tsev ntawm Houston Astros. Inked nyob rau hauv 1999, Astros 'naming txoj cai deal yog rau 10 xyoo, $ 100 lab.
Rov qab tawm ntawm qhov deal yog ib qho teeb meem. PR npau suav phem ntawm Astros tau txuam nrog Enron lub npe ntawm lub tsev yog lwm qhov. Thaum kawg, Astros tau them $ 2.1 lab kom tau Enron lub npe tawm ntawm qhov chaw thiab txav mus.
Fast-forward mus rau niaj hnub no, thiab qhov teeb meem ntawm scandal thiab pab koomtes yog loj dua.
Major League Baseball yog thawj qhov kev ua kis las loj los koom nrog kev txhawb nqa nrog lub tuam txhab pauv cryptocurrency. Cov teeb meem yog tias nws yog FTX.
Mus txog xyoo 2021, qhov kev pom zoo yog ntau yam. FTX.US tau dhau los ua MLB thawj qhov kev sib tw ua haujlwm sib koom ua ke. Branding tau adorned thoob plaws hauv lub tebchaws MLB games, MLB.com, MLB Network, MLB.TV, social media platforms, thiab, raws li lub koom haum tshaj tawm xov xwm, "muaj kev cuam tshuam ntau dua hauv kev tshaj xov xwm ntaus pob ntaus pob" pov rau hauv qhov ntawd MLBPA kuj tau koom tes nrog FTX tso cai rau cov neeg ua si koom nrog hauv kev txhawb nqa cov neeg ua si, thiab qhov kev txiav txim siab ntau dua.
Nyob rau hauv dab tsi yuav zoo tshaj plaws piav raws li ib tug crypto Ponzi tswvyim, thaum pom uas FTX tus tsim Sam Bankman-Fried tau funneled ib tug loj sum ntawm cryptocurrency los ntawm FTX rau nws Alameda tshawb fawb. Qhov ntawd ua rau muaj kev muag khoom thaum Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, CEO ntawm kev sib tw crypto platform Binance, muag tag nrho FTT tokens. Txij thaum ntawd los, Bankman-Fried tau raug ntes thiab FTX tau foob rau kev lag luam.
MLB, zoo li lwm cov kis las kis las, tau dhau los ua kev lag luam gyrations ntawm kev sim ua kom lawv tus kheej los ntawm FTX.
"Kev txhim kho FTX yog me ntsis jarring," tus thawj coj Rob Manfred tau hais tias yog ib feem ntawm lub rooj sib tham xov xwm tom qab MLB cov tswv rooj sib tham tsis ntev los no. “Peb tau ua tib zoo taug kev mus tom ntej hauv qhov chaw no. Peb tau ua kev ntseeg tiag tiag txog kev nyob deb ntawm cov nyiaj npib lawv tus kheej tsis yog rau ntau lub tuam txhab kev txhawb nqa. Peb xav tias yog kev ceev faj tshwj xeeb yog muab txoj hauv kev nthuav tawm. Peb yuav ua raws li kev ceev faj yav tom ntej. "
Thaum nug yog tias cov pab koomtes yuav tsis tso tawm FTX thaj ntawm cov khaub ncaws hnav hauv 2023, Manfred chuckled, "Qhov ntawd yog qhov zoo nkauj zoo nkauj."
Txog qhov ntawd, cov pab koomtes tau saib xyuas FTX qhov xwm txheej thiab tau ntsib nrog tus kws lij choj rau kev tawm tswv yim txog yuav ua li cas thiaj li ua tau zoo. Qee daim ntawv ntawm kev coj ncaj ncees yuav muab MLB thiab MLBPA ib txoj hauv kev tawm mus.
Dab tsi zoo li qhov tseeb yog tias qee lub sijhawm qee lub sijhawm, lwm tus neeg txhawb nqa yuav koom nrog qee yam kev thuam uas yuav xav kom cov pab koomtes lossis ib lub koom haum sim tawm hauv qab los tiv thaiv PR qhov muag dub. Rau MLB thiab FTX deal, xov xwm zoo yog tias muaj ob peb lub hlis ua ntej 2023 lub caij tsis tu ncua tau pib.
