the merchants association.ight now i want to bring up someone, lloyd silversteen from the hayes valley merchants association to say a few words how he feels about this space. where is lloyd? thank you very much everyone. [applause] >> thanks everybody for coming this morning on an overcast day. i want to say a few thank u.s. i am the new kid in the block. i moved from union square where i had a four generation business and i am thrilled to be here. i want to thank the mayor and supervisor brown and s.f.m.t.a. and gail baugh for dragging me in, kidnapping ne, a labor of love and it makes these things move forward. i wanted to speak from personal experience. when is this happened i thought it would have a negative affect on the business. the city was smart enough to do trial runs to see how it was going to work. whoever they hired to do the traffic studies nailed this. most of the traffic that comes this direction off octavia is going east or west. if they are going north, not this way. in point of fact, when the

the minister said he would meet the football association next week.gry as a government as well with this arrangement, especially on a weekend when the fa very worthily had their heads together mental health campaign. i can tell the honourable lady that, as you can imagine, i have spoken at some length to the fa since this broke. this is an arrangement that has been in place for some time, and the 2017 contract was a rollover of a deal. i have been very clear that the government has asked the football association to look at all avenues to review this element of their broadcasting agreement. there was cross—party criticism of what one mp called the "gamblification of sport". the football association should return as soon as possible to working closely to reduce the links between football and gambling, do away with this deal and avoid the proven risks of relentless online marketing on young men in particular. my honourable friend is right. i've spoken with my honourable friend about the concerns that he has in his own constituency on this issue. and it's

the players association has historically been that it should be 18, but there are issues that need toe worked through, between us and the players association, so it is something we are in active discussions on. david: a couple years away? adam: it is a few years away. also, if we were to make the change, i think the first season at would make sense to make that change for is 2022, in part because that is the current class that has finished their freshman year in high school. and the cohort is pretty well known. i mean, lots of these young men may move from 10th projected pick to third projected pick, but there are not that many surprises in the cohort. and so if there was no longer an issue of eligibility, because remember now, because of ncaa regulation, we can't be involved with that cohort of players right now. so if the rule were to change, we and our players association, usa basketball, other groups would work much more directly with those players to prepare them for the nba at 18. david: the one and done, after they finished the ncaa tournament, they are not finishing their clas
