Monumental Sports & Entertainment’s Post

A great presentation earlier from Daniel Ross and Stephen Dypiangco, MFA talking over Roblox but more the opportunity with sports and what could be the potential for those rights holders. We have seen leagues like the National Hockey League (NHL) National Football League (NFL) National Basketball Association (NBA) all come to the platform, and a few teams such a Manchester City Football Club building their own fan experiences. (Karta) The platform has just started to see a new approach for kits and merch with Manchester United and AFC Ajax via the adidas immersive shopping experience, where they are dropping kits even before it is released physically. At the moment the most popular sporting experiences have been created by individual developers with the likes of Super League Soccer, Football Fusion and basketball legends garnering 1million + MAU's each. There are also more niche sports that have found a big audience by uniquely creating a fun experience. My question to all sports rights holders is; if Gen Z and Gen A are consuming their media on these UGC gaming platforms shouldn't we figure out a way to watch and consume sports on platform? With Tommy Hilfiger we managed to live stream the Brooklyn fashion show in to the experience with over 500k participants seeing this. We have seen the music experiences with Lil Nas X watched over 33million times. The Olympics could have been the one to start this trend, channelling in to the diverse platform audience with a diverse amount of sports capturing the attention of the 75million DAU's on Roblox. Who will be the sports league to break in to this platform category? Let me know.

NRL rolls into Vegas 🇺🇸. Two worlds colliding. Bravo Vlandys and Co 👏🏼 5 years, it’s significant. Fox 1 USA, it’s significant. The chance to dramatically increase broadcast, wagering, fans……and not just in the US. Ultimately? Revenue. Revenue to invest into the game to make it a better experience for everyone. Is Vegas the right venue? I’m split. It’s fast becoimg THE ‘Sports Mecca’, a risk of being drowned out? Or, as Sinatra said of another famous US City, “if I can, make it theeeeere…” With sports content, on multiple platforms, instantly accessible globally, every corner of the planet is now a potential audience. It’s a matter of what GRABS one’s attention, then more importantly, keeps it. The question is….how many Americans will be come emotionally affected enough, to become long term fans? Then, will that legacy be handed down to their offspring? Or/and, will the NRL invest in NRLUSA venture??? Better fit for broadcasters timezone wise. Will NRLUSA one day become the premier Rugby League competition??? NRL is certainly ‘asking the question’! Love it. National Rugby League Peter V'landys Andrew Abdo
