  • Ed Warner: English football of all levels penetrating hyper-commercial US sport

    November 3, 2022

    Does anyone in England call the Premier League the EPL? I ask because I had a random encounter at Heathrow last week with one of a group of five Crystal Palace fans headed to Selhurst Park for their “first EPL game”. The Ted Lasso effect maybe? I only hope they made it to the Clifton [...]

  • Ed Warner: Kicked off, tipped off, switched off

    September 8, 2022

    One of the joys of writing Sport inc. is the flow of suggestions from readers of subjects to cover.

    July 13, 2022

    Investment firm 777 Partners is determined to make the British Basketball League (BBL) the second biggest domestic league in the sport, behind the NBA.

    July 13, 2022

    British basketball has only ever featured at the Olympics when the team has participated as the host nation and has never qualified for the Fiba World Cup. A Sport England survey estimates the number of those participating in the sport in England has dropped by 100,000 since 2016. In spite of this, however, the British [...]

  • Big Sport Quiz of 2021: How much do you remember?

    December 20, 2021

    From teenagers sweeping to Grand Slam tennis titles to England reaching a major football final, an Olympic Games like no other and the introduction of a brand new cricket competition, it has been a hugely eventful year in sport. Off the field it has been just as transformative, with private equity and, increasingly, cryptocurrency and [...]

  • Ed Warner: Sewing ruling bodies together is not always the answer

    November 18, 2021

    I’m a late adopter of LinkedIn, only joining this summer as a means of promoting Sport inc. Compiling my profile, I paused for just a second before deciding not to include my inglorious 52 days as interim chair of the British Basketball Federation back in 2018.  On Sunday, as the T20 World Cup neared its [...]
