December 25, 2005
Show: ESPN2 Cold Pizza
Date: 12/26/2005
Interviewer: Dana Jacobson
Jacobson asked about how Batinovich came to be an owner. Batinovich then commented about going to a Mammoth game last season, and how players have fulltime jobs and fly in every weekend for games and how they play the game because they love it.
Jacobson then asked about her previous knowledge of lacrosse. Batinovich said she didn’t have any but that she traveled with the Storm last season and how she can use her marketing skills when it comes to the entertainment level of lacrosse.
The next topic was about if Batinovich was worried from an owner’s standpoint about the stability of the NLL and folding. She said that she isn’t worried because lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the United States.
The last topic of the interview was the kind of obstacles that Batinovich is facing not only being a female owner but also being the youngest Professional Sports Franchise owner. During her response to the question, she talked about she is very hands on and feels that is and will be the biggest misconception about her.
Before Jacobson ended the interview, she quizzed Batinovich on four different questions about sporting events to which she had to answer if they happened before or after she was born.
Side Note
This was not mentioned during the Cold Pizza segment, but Jax jerseys along with all the other NLL teams are due out in January.
