Overall, I think this is a likely change that we see in sports consumption soon, and I think it’s a good thing! I find myself complaining about broadcasts a lot, and it would be nice to have some choices and a less traditional manor! #SRM3224#group3
@AdamNachamie Definitely a big point, I imagine a guy like Pat McAfee would be a great commentator for a FanDuel/Draft Kings stream but it would be nice to have a traditional announcer as well! #srm3224
@Wesley_tuk73704 This is true! But I feel like the power for them to “rig” games is already there, I guess that would just make it a much easier excuse to use! #srm3224
@dr_marshmallow@kyleshatto I think it is the safest way, especially to introduce it to the sports world. That way there are multiple options for viewers, and those who enjoy the traditional form can stick to that
I also think we slightly overestimate how much this will impact our viewership. Not that long ago, NFL Redzone was a non traditional form of media consumption, now I’d bet that most of us watch every Sunday! #SRM3224#group3
@EmmaBBerry1 They are also carrying over a massive following, so it wouldn’t be like a new brand trying to breakthrough, they have significant support from across the country that could propel them #srm3224
I think the next breakthrough is honestly Barstool Sports. They have already streamed MMA events, and football games, and they basically stream all the NFL games with their coverage, just without visuals of the game. #SRM3224#group3
With the addition of their gambling platform, and their increasing popularity and non traditional form of coverage I could really see them being the next fold of sports media. Not necessarily my favorite thing but credit to them. #srm3224
One major non traditional broadcasting medium was when Bleacher Report would broadcast international soccer games. I actually liked their streams and I thought they did it well. #SRM3224#group3
The Philadelphia Eagles have a partnership with CHOP that helps raise awareness for children with autism and helps with the inclusion of people living with autism. #SRM3224
One Non Sports CSR example is that FIFA by EA Sports promoted a campaign with the slogan of “My Game is Fair to Play” to promote inclusivity in soccer and esports. #SRM3224
The Bucks and McDonald’s recently partnered for a special meal deal in Milwaukee. I always think it’s terrible for sports teams to partner with fast food companies because they know that their athletes do not eat that food and it’s harmful to promote it. #SRM3224
General exposure at an early age will eventually cause an evolution in the way humans behave, I think we are in the early stages of that development #SRM3224#group3
One of my profs recently told me that he got his iPad fixed and ended up getting a second iPad and that his 6 y/o was ecstatic about having an iPad to himself #SRM3224#group3
Another huge thing is the massive jumbotrons in stadiums where now fans go for the experience but end up watching a lot of the game on a big screen #SRM3224#group3
@ben_schwartz_5 NFL Redzone is the perfect product for the modern American. We get all of the satisfaction of watching the games without having to be fully committed to each one. #srm3224#group3
@tuj03977@jakescaf Just as a mode of communication, we have started to relied almost entirely on texts/calls/facetimes just to talk to people that aren’t that far away. A lot of people have a bad connotation towards this but I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing #srm3224#group3
As I type this, I have my phone, computer, and 2 televisions in front of me, which is a normal activity for me and that’s why I’d argue that as a species we have definitely evolved #SRM3224#group3
