The players’ union for the National Football League (NFL) is partnering with a blockchain startup to help athletes license products on a decentralized network.
With the new partnership, some NFL players will be able to earn revenue by providing commentary during live sporting events and otherwise creating unique content for fans to enjoy.
Schwab added:
“Because of the decentralized nature of the platform, anyone can get on it, players can get on it.
NFL players are really interested in blockchain, in crypto … if a player calls me and asks ‘how do I get involved’ I’d suggest he go on SportsCastr and start generating tokens.”
To bring in revenue on the platform, athletes can either earn tokens from the system by creating content for the platform, or have fans pay them with tokens directly.
