He who writes the code will have favorites.How would being virtual make thrown games less likely?
Yeah you say that until the machines keep you alive as a human battery and find rage increases output 15% and hold your eyes open playing rage inducing shit nonstop.in 60+ years I'll be dead so I don't really give a fuck to be honest.

Ummm, more like under 26 pro league, but, yeah.College football is really the 22 and under pro league. College affiliation means less… see Indiana.
Well his OL virtually blocked most of the night, so...
Well his OL virtually blocked most of the night, so...I bet Drake Maye wished that the Seattle defense was comprised of virtual players.
Sneaking by the Kings in a slopfest was nothing to write home about...but gutting out a win from 10 down at the end of a trip over Denver showed a lot of guts last night. Hornets/Thunder/Knicks/Bucks are 4 of the first 5 coming back, and the Harden first impression period will be over...will find out a ton about this team by March 1.Upcoming against Thunder will speak volumes
I bet Drake Maye wished that the Seattle defense was comprised of virtual players.In 60+ years (probably a lot less) all "professional" sports will be virtual. That's your "hard reset".
Why pay real Pat Mahomes $50 million a year when you can pay virtual Matt Pahomes zero? The entertainment value will be the same (or better) and you will still be able to bet on the games (with far less shenanigans because virtual players won't "throw" games).
As far as markets go, it will be the entire world because you can locate a virtual team anywhere and the virtual players can all be "local" so the fans will have an immediate connection with their team.
Music and movies are already going virtual/AI. Can sports be far behind?

For now, I guess. But in 60 years? I don't see Mumbai or Santiago being real excited to join the nfl. I'll be like, enough already. But dissecting the author's reasoning requires reading the book, or maybe the NYT article, and I have yet to do either. Besides, I can't get past the disadvantages for a team flying 9+ hours to play football.
For college, as I stated earlier, we're the only country on the planet that has college sports anywhere near this level.

They’ve got it at the H‑E‑B. (In case you’re interested)I wouldn't even know where to find quinoa
