Dan Bernstein ad Laurence Holmes discussed how the NBA All-Star Game and most of the festivities over the weekend were a major letdown.

If you dream of owning a professional sports team, good news: with the rapid rise of emerging leagues and expansion teams, there are more ownership opportunities than ever before. CNBC’s Scott Wapner sat down with a handful of team owners to talk about sports teams as an investment, management philosophies, and the changing sports landscape.

It features:

David Blitzer - Blackstone Global Head of Tactical Opportunities and NJ Devils/Philadelphia 76ers/Washington Commanders Co-owner

Lexie Brown - LA Sparks WNBA Player, Athletes Unlimited Founding Member

Paul Rabil - Premier Lacrosse League Co-Founder and President

Clara Wu Tsai - BSE Global Vice Chair, New York Liberty Governor and Brooklyn Nets Co-Owner

It was a huge week for women's sports. Congratulations to the Las Vegas Aces on their back to back championship win. Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris are getting divorced, breaking the hearts of all queer sports fans. Congrats to Che Flores coming out as the first trans and nonbinary referee. In AIABQ? we discuss Dylan Mulvaney, moving on from queer best friends and whether iPhone users could date someone with an android. Bad queer opinions - we want Gen-Z to loosen up.
