How Pelé And The New York Cosmos Conquered America
On June 10, 1975, the New York Cosmos released Angelo Anastasio, marking a significant change in American soccer as they signed Pelé for $4 million. General manager Clive Toye's pursuit of Pelé was part of a strategy to bring star power to the team, which included other soccer legends like Franz Beckenbauer and Giorgio Chinaglia. Pelé's arrival transformed soccer's image in the US from a marginal foreign sport to a mainstream attraction, with the Cosmos becoming a symbol of sports and entertainment. The team's success and Pelé's influence are seen as precursors to the current Major League Soccer, which continues to attract international stars. Pelé's tenure with the Cosmos culminated in a farewell match on October 1, 1977, against his old club Santos, symbolizing the end of an era and his transition to a new life.

Coronavirus to hurt sports rights-holders' ad revenues, buyers' options
The coronavirus pandemic has significantly impacted sports events, leading to the suspension of major leagues like the NBA, NHL, and Major League Soccer, and the cancellation of March Madness. This disruption is expected to result in substantial financial losses for rights-holders and advertisers. Analysts predict significant declines in ad revenues for networks like Turner Sports, CBS Sports, ESPN, and ABC. The potential overlap of the rescheduled NBA Finals with the Tokyo Summer Olympics adds further complications. Despite these challenges, there may be opportunities for increased viewership on streaming platforms and linear entertainment programming.
