Respectfully, going after Kevin Frazier (of all people) instead of offering a counterpoint to his son’s real life example, misses the mark.
Especially in a market (SoCal) that, without a shadow of a doubt, should be producing more talent for our pipeline.
Alexi has been (and will continue to be) on the wrong side of history in regards to pay-to-play.
The recent Joga Bonito revival didn’t feel special enough mainly because Nike forced the “Nike FC” branding.
These guys just brought me back to 2006. As good as modern footballers are, the sheer aura from Dinho/Thierry/CR7/Zlatan cannot be replicated. Lightning in a bottle.
@patrickendrick Hence the scramble from Rui Costa to get “Benfica District” approved. Don’t think we ever stood a shot with the new Bernabeu and Camp Nou in the mix, but even the semifinals will be heavily contested.
While I agree with the legacy media piece, not so sure about the end game here. Can’t see a future where any media company (legacy or streamer) won’t need live sports, let alone the behemoth that is the NFL. Also, the ancillary pop culture spider web that the league has in our society…it’s not going away anytime soon.

Guy in front of me got two warnings before they took his phone away.
Years ago, you would have watched this and thought it was another brilliant Nike World Cup spot. This is the juice they’ve been missing.
Well done @BrahmaCerveja 👏
