[@trevors4929]

Finally Schur calls out David! The one thing he missed mentioning though; as the valuation of assets (the team) gets higher and higher, the owner can get more, larger lines of credit with better rates to borrow that go into their other ventures. Just because the owner doesn't cash out doesn't mean they aren't increasing their income and buying power due to the increase in value of their asset. All of which they pay little to no taxes on. So why would they ever sell when they can take out a huge lines of credit from whatever bank they want for any venture they want?

[@Chris-ev5ok]

So glad to have Mike back!!! He was speaking for the masses when he went at David! As a writer, I don't think I could have said it better, myself. Thank you, brother! Stay strong. ✊🏾

It’s hilarious when Mike Schur calls him out for protecting the billionaire class while making $25 million a year without even counting the residuals from his highly syndicated shows. Mike is literally one appreciating asset like a sports team away from being part of the billionaire class.

Samson has no idea what kind of distribution Arison takes because Samson doesn't (didn't)work for the Heat. Samson said he was jealous of Arison's success while Samson worked for the Marlins. Schur was completely correct about Arison's ability to profit in many ways from his initial investment to buy the Heat. WGA strong! And get Domonique to comment on this discussion.

I like both Mike S and David, but Mike had the stronger argument. The heat can afford to spend, they choose not too. Everyone gets the finances, that it isnt money in his pocket, but no one cares when you have that kind of money.

[@thisiskyle_]

Some people are missing that Mike is not speaking for himself. He is speaking for the thousands of writers who can barely make ends meet due to the greed and "number fudging" of those in charge. He's not standing up to the bully (Billionaires); he's standing up to the bully's hypeman (David).

[@JohnTheFisherman2.0]

Almost a full minute before Schur is on camera? Solid.

[@mmg72519]

Yeah, that was pretty bad. You would think with being on DKN now the video team wouldn't fall asleep at the wheel...

[@PIayer_01]

Thank God David is here to speak up for the those poor billionaires 😭

[@LaCheeserie]

The point is people like Mike Schur would do the same with that amount of money. Most would. Even someone like Buffet or trump who have called it out still do it. People have voted for politicians who protect these tax set ups. And yes both sides of the two party system prop it up. Of course most owners make a profit overall in their portfolio, but on sports teams themselves not hard to see them not making a profit. It’s why the lakers are run they way they are because that is their source of wealth.

Samson got eviscerated by Schur. Caught a body *Yayo dance*

[@philipallcott]

The one thing I don't get about Samson is how he never acknowledges that the other side may have a point. He doesn't even have to agree with it, but he never even lays out the case for another way to interpret the facts. Like Samson could have his cake and eat it too if he were to admit there is an alternate view to look at things which is somewhat reasonable, but he has come to a different conclusion. Instead, he always has this attitude that he is 100% correct, and if you do not believe exactly what he believes, you couldn't be more wrong.

[@billharris7235]

Not sure why it's so difficult to understand that just because an asset is worth more than what you paid for it, it's not cash in your pocket unless you sell it! The Heat may very likely not turn a profit every year. That being said, I don't feel sympathy for the owner. Other team owners use other businesses they own that are profitable to cover any losses and use operating losses for tax benefits. Same in other businesses. Mike makes a good point that streaming services like Amazon may be able to show that Prime doesn't make money, but Amazon itself makes billions in profit every year. Doesn't make David wrong.

[@slappydoodle]

Holy shit Rationale? What r u doing here sir?

[@jacquesmassard9226]

If you are a billionaire owner of a team you can get loan using team ownership stock as collateral and live off that money and pay off the loan using team profits which then you uses to claim you are losing money on you team and save money on your income taxes. Jerry Jones makes 600 million dollars a year on the cowboys and pay less in taxes than his players do. It is why Elon didn't want to buy twitter till a judge made him buy it as per his agreement cause they only way he could pay it off would be to final sell some of his tesla stock and tank the company's stock price triggering rate raise or repayments in loans he took out that he used tesla stock as collateral to get in the 1st place.

[@jacquesmassard9226]

Also there is stuff like naming yourself ceo and having the cowboys buy the car you ride around in as a company car or etc... so that you can write off any personal expense as a company expense to save more money on you taxes.

[@MicahRaj]

Zagack. There is a lot of misunderstanding in the general public about what profits are versus what a valuation is. Samson is technically correct about the finances. Wrong that owners don’t owe anything to the fans. He just comes across so heinous that no one takes his points seriously and makes him out to be the villain, which he kinda is. Mike has a brilliant point though, you can’t use two different forms of accounting to show the government vs what you show investors. So why should corporations be able to do this in labor negotiations? 🤔

100% agree

MIKE SCHUR... IS.... BACK! (ding) Mike Schur is absolutely correct. Just last week, David Samson bragged that he could make a profitable company legally appear as if it's losing money. Owners/corporations do this all the time and manipulate their earning depending on who their audience is and what they want to extract from their audience.

[@Murchasm]

I cannot speak for them directly, but Schur summed it up pretty well. He is a corporate stooge who, whether he internalizes it or not, exemplifies everything that is wrong with Capitalism. His very existence is counter-productive to humanity's progress.

[@joshw0078]

[@dannyvandan_]

Yeah this bit doesn’t make sense WHEN THEY ARE ASKING HIM TO IMPROVE THE COMPANY!

[@twobarsfourstars]

They don’t like him for what he says and stands up for. Also maybe him too. Seeing him smile when Schur followed up on him about how wealthy corporations make profits look like loses and the real value on non actualized ownership percentages (a money hiding method messing with the economy that he also called out) makes me think Samson knows when he’s being a weasel and thinks winning an argument is more important then what it’s about. So when he loses he just whines about decorum like he did here trying and failing to name call Mike as a populist. That’s not cool to people who care and want more from the world, and especially frustrating from someone in a position to bring about change if they tried or cared.

[@BlessedAreTheCheesemakers]

[@bradhorowitz2765]

This was a great show. But let’s be quite clear on this Mike Schur, really shouldn’t be praised for criticizing Samson. Remember this guy helped write the office, parks and rec and Brooklyn 99. Not saying those shows are (they are not), but the shows are actually very supportive of hierarchies that are more or less kinda complicit in dysfunctional systems. So technically schur is critiquing Samson despite writing stories that endorse bad management. I would recommend the KZbin copoganda series to go into more details.

He's a worker that's had his labor exploited thank you for proving why we need strong unions to protect labor.

[@bradhorowitz2765]

@@kylesmoran I disagree. Mike Schur is more powerful than most hollywood writers will ever be. He has been invovled in not one, but three shows that defined American television in the 2000s. And all of those shows more or less were quite optimistic, naive, and surprisingly quite reluctant to tackle actual issues that did say "hey maybe what we are doing is wrong."
