What do you think about a "villain" in sports and its impact to the media and image of the league. For an example a player like Dillion Brooks accepts and wants to be the "villain" in the NBA.

@BrianAckerman77 @NateBash_ @jack7schultz @lefthandhunchoo Most famous athlete in the world especially for his time no doubt but come on Lebron is the goat. #srm3224 #group2

[Tommy Cataldi @TommyCat215]

@lefthandhunchoo I think LeBron is the most evolve athlete with current media topics and being connected to local communities #srm3224 #group2

The most recent example of glorification in sports is the Travis kelce and taylor swift relationship the nfl uses this to boost their platform and make the chiefs the image of the NFL

Movie and shows sponsorship can make noise for sports property because it can take away viewers from the current or future sports games.

[Tommy Cataldi @TommyCat215]

@col_trainor I agree if done correctly it could take over the industry, but I find that it's going to be very difficult to do so. #srm3224 #group2

@DGriff93901 @col_trainor @curti_julie That is true it will be removing cheating or biases in sports but that will mean everything will be called, if there was ai as refs in football there could be a flag every play. The refs now miss some calls or let the players play. #srm3224 #group2

I think AR and VR can take away from the true meaning of sports and replace the authentically of them.

[Tommy Cataldi @TommyCat215]

@curti_julie Pure silliness. Human error is a huge factor in sports, humans are playing the game so humans should be umpiring the game. #srm3224 #group2

[Tommy Cataldi @TommyCat215]

@curti_julie @dr_marshmallow @jack7schultz I think all the VR headset stuff is weird and kind of silly, wearing a headset to feel like your courtside at game, in my opinion is nothing close to the actual thing.

I like sports how they are now and adding too much technology I think can be bad for the viewers. It can make things more confusing.

I think Virtual and augmented reality has the potential to have the biggest impact on sports, the new technology coming out is insane and who's know what we can be able to do 10 years down the road. Umpire might not even be a thing in baseball anymore because ai usage.

@DGriff93901 @col_trainor @DylanG1100 It would have to be cheaper than a ticket because then no one would buy it. Well unless it was an away game they really wanted to see. #srm3224 #Group2

@NateBash_ I feel like they can never get fully rid of cable tv but I do think that within 5 years it will be rarely be used. #srm3224 #Group2

[Tommy Cataldi @TommyCat215]

@jack7schultz I honestly can't remember the last time I used cable television unless I'm watching a game somewhere. #SRM3224 #Group2

[Tommy Cataldi @TommyCat215]

@yuyahtun_ @lefthandhunchoo I do agree with you but also is it really competing that much because of different demographics. Many people don't even watch sports, but everyone watches movies on Netflix or Hulu. #srm3224

Also these big companies like ESPN that have the funding to stay current will still be there 5 years later.

[Tommy Cataldi @TommyCat215]

#SRM3224 #group2
I think companies that can keep up with the fast-increasing technology changes will be relevant 5 years down the road

I would say the number one factor that's keeping local sports radio alive is the specific audience that prefers radio. People like things that are familiar to them, older individuals who grew up listening to radio, still listen to radio
