If it is true, you are immune to libel. For public figures, to receive a libel judgement you must prove that you were economically harmed by the libel, and that it was recklessly untrue. So by my emailing anything touchy to Dennis Prager and his assistant, before publishing it, I basically made myself immune to conviction for libel. When DP was a boy, he was a big sports fan and knew all the big player' s sports statistics. Now his kids and their friends could care less about sports.
Players change teams too often because of free agency and teams charge too much for ticket prices.
DP interviewed a USC professor of management who also declared pro sports was in trouble. Several women called DP to say how much they love the sport. One does Fantasy League baseball, only one of two females among twelve teams. The girls say they will only pick nice guys like Cal Ripken. Her male peers laughed at her.
