Three random things I learned/heard this week in saas, sports, and live events:
1. Teams/Leagues have been stalling (understandably, what& #39;s the alternative?) but they& #39;re about to run out of time. Companies want to be "good partners" but they& #39;re starting to get pressure internally and the majority don& #39;t want to be in the building right when sports comes back
