President Trump could potentially block ESPN’s big deal with NFL.
Earlier this week, the NFL sold NFL Media, which includes NFL Network and RedZone, to ESPN in exchange for equity in the media company in a deal that could be worth millions.

The NFL and ESPN reached a blockbuster agreement that will place many of the league’s top media holdings with the sports network in exchange for equity in ESPN that is potentially worth billions, sources briefed on the agreement told The Athletic.
According to a report from Front Office Sports, one person involved in the deal is worried that Trump could get involved and kill the deal.
“What if Trump decides to stick his beak in?” said one source who declined to be named. “This is a massive deal. It will require government oversight and approval. And we all know how Trump likes to poke the NFL from time to time.”
The anonymous sources’ comments just days after Trump stated that he would block the Commanders’ new stadium deal if they didn’t change their name back to Redskins.

It seems like Trump blocking the ESPN/NFL deal is a serious threat, and it would be interesting to see how everything unfolds.
