Is this legit because I'm pretty sure BA signed a deal with Fox Sports to show all Boomers games up until the Olympics?

So glad I bought tickets at exorbitant prices to watch it live in the crowd ;)
tv broadcast is cool and all but it won't compare to the magic of sitting in a huge football stadium and watching it on the big screen there

Zodiac there was never an announcement up until now about the warmup games. The Fox deal are the rights to Boomers and Opals plus juniors in official FIBA competitions such as Asian Cup, World Cup, etc.

Was gonna come here and say "it will be hard to put a negative spin on this one," but a couple of people have already managed.
I had a good chuckle at beating the experience of watching it on the big screen though
