Money grabbing - or just being a business?

I think it is possible to accept that Liberty (and Bernie before them) are good at being a business, but not like what they are doing to the sport. Getting rid of Spa-Francorchamps is a prime example of something that will probably be profitable in the short-term (I'm not convinced it will help them in the long term but I don't think they are planning to stick around), so is good for Formula 1 as a business, but terrible for Formula 1 as a sport as they are getting rid of one of the best tracks on the calendar. The same could be said about sprint races (although some fans do like them, I personally think they are bad for the sport, but they do make money).
