Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin spoke at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference on Friday, and defended his company amid MLB’s uniform debacle.
Players began complaining at spring training over the last few weeks about the new uniforms set to be used this season that are designed by Nike and manufactured by Rubin’s company.
“This is a little bit of a difficult position,” Rubin said Friday. “We’re purely doing exactly as we’ve been told, and we’ve been told we’re doing everything exactly right. And we’re getting the s--- kicked out of us. So that’s not fun.”
