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.

in 60+ years I'll be dead so I don't really give a fuck to be honest.

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?

Would you get in trouble for virtually shooting Taylor Swift and Mahomes in this brave new world?

Asking for a friend.

I bet Drake Maye wished that the Seattle defense was comprised of virtual players.

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.

Lol Indiana was cool story I was routing for them if not us or Ole Miss. Cause Kiffen leaving for them to win it all to spite him would have been hilarious

California’s “jock taxes” force pro athletes who don’t live in the state to fork over percentages of their yearly income based on the number of days they work in California.

Sam Darnold received $178k for winning the Super Bowl.
He owes California $249k for just the Super Bowl (they factor is his per game salary based on his annual contract)

He also owes a whole bunch more because he played 49ers and Rams in CA as well
