In recent years, the sports business has used technology to boost revenue streams, relying on the continuous popularity of sports among fans throughout the world. Despite concerns about the increasing commercialization of sports and the apparent "dumbing down" of society, sports remains a multibillion-dollar industry with significant revenue from a variety of sources.

Game tickets are a major source of revenue in sports, with millions of fans traveling to stadiums and arenas around the world to cheer on their favorite teams and athletes. However, with the increasing digitization of the sports sector, new revenue streams that go beyond game tickets have arisen. For sports clubs and leagues, merchandise, such as jerseys, hats, and other branded items, is a substantial source of revenue.Merchandise, for instance, is a significant source of revenue for sports teams and leagues, with fans purchasing jerseys, hats, and other branded items to show their support.

Pay-per-view (PPV) fees are another revenue stream that has grown in importance in recent years. With the advent of streaming platforms and the collapse of traditional cable television, sports leagues and teams are turning to pay-per-view (PPV) to provide fans with a means to watch games and matches online. PPV money has proven to be a profitable source of income, with some of the world's largest athletic events alone generating hundreds of millions of dollars in PPV revenue.

Despite concerns about the monetization of sports and the impact of technology on our society, the sports industry is clearly a tremendously profitable operation. As long as there are people willing to watch athletes compete, and as long as technology continues to offer new revenue opportunities, the sports industry will continue to thrive and grow.

I also noticed that some kiddies and even adults are so into playing sports virtually. They are not into playing them physically now. It seems very alarming that they are in this state recently.

I just hope they will not repeat scene with drone as camera like in last Boston vs Philadelphia game. It was so annoying and loud. It was all time in main scene and had so bad camera.

Technology and it's advancements will not spare any area and sports is not an exception. As such these days, I see more young people into virtual screen games than the actual physical game.
I liked the idea of self lacing shoes. It's fascinating. I hope that Nike makes it affordable for regular people soon. I want one.

I really like participating on the live basketball matches and not interested in the AI created type of stuff

[mrki444]

The lighter gravity means the Basketball players will be jumping and dunking higher than here on earth.

I guess it will not be good have some interplanet league since conditons are not same. Maybe some universal version jumps out. E-sport league will definitely be active.
