    World Cup + Love Island is a calendar trick, not a model.

    One green quarter doesn't erase years of red ink.

    Reality hits are cheap relative to live sports — that's the mix.

    I'll believe durable profit after a quiet non-event quarter.

    Sure, and one green quarter doesn't erase years of red ink.
