Sports gambling has only been recently accepted in most areas of the country, so I think this type of broadcasting will take time to grow but 5 years down the road it could be something that becomes normal to us #srm3224#group3
@jaybirrane I think you bring up a great point with Barstool because they not only have the gambling platform but they also have the faces that people would love to see. They have celebrities with a following that would help to gain more viewership #srm3224#group3
@Wesley_tuk73704 It’s definitely true that they’ll be more inclined to bet, but the real question is how many viewers will these type of broadcasts actually get? And will people get bored fast and go back to the regular way? #srm3224#group3
After watching Netflix’s series “Bad Sport”, we could expect to see more issues with tampering with the game if they are able to bet on virtually anything during the game. Making it easier to cover up the crookedness #srm3224#group3
The upside I see on the possibility of gambling companies creating broadcasts, is they will be able to create many more live prop bets that could generate even more money consistently #srm3224#group3
Sports are looking for any new ways to broadcast the games. This new type of broadcasting with gambling companies would be very interesting but still I believe it would be a secondary or third option for most people to tune in #srm3224#group3
I am on the side that people are still linear thinkers. Technology has become more available and easier to use for the newer generations. #srm3224#group3
@cole_nowak This will probably be the future of sports as most teams would love the ability to actually feel like they are simulating real game decisions #srm3224#group3
@jaybirrane Have we evolved or has technology just become so easily available? Because I think it’s possible out great grandparents would do the same thing if they had the technology available #srm3224#group3
Sports have found ways to innovate using technology in many different ways. While people may seem like they think differently, I believe it is the technology that is controlling this revolution #srm3224#group3
An example for sports would be that each league has used their linear thinking to effectively process into a better league. Instead of changing a mindset, they add more technology to enhance the experience. #srm3224#group3
@ben_schwartz_5 While I am a believer of the other side, I think this a great point on how the surplus of technology has ultimately changed our mindset #srm3224#group3
For local fans, I think great touch points are the sports bars that most fans go to for the game. For Philly it’s Xfinity and for back home in Boston, Cask’n Flagon
Streams have been the most crucial way to stay connected with the Boston teams while living here, as most channels would not play those games, I am still able to consume the games #srm3224#group3
When I hear of displaced fan, I think of myself in Philadelphia. Being a Boston fan has made me reach out to different “touch points” to stay connected. The main way of staying connected is through social media #SRM3224#group3
