Fan Controlled Sports + Entertainment
It started as a crazy idea for a digital community focused on enabling sports fans to act like the GM of their favorite team by buying the rights to a minor league squad and letting the fans vote on everything from the starting lineup to what type of beer is on tap. The original concept was dreamed up a long time ago and focused on baseball. https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/16/sports/16cheer.html
Many years later this became a reality as we bought an expansion arena football team in the IFL, and let our fans call the shots.

And now we've turned it into a full-fledged interactive league as we roll out Fan Controlled Football Season v1.0 in early 2021 exclusively streaming on Twitch with investment from Lighstpeed Ventures and Verizon Ventures, as well as a mix of celebrity team owners including Quavo, Richard Sherman and Marshawn Lynch.
