🏈 Could flag football contribute to the global growth of the NFL? 🏈 📢 News broke earlier this week that the NFL and the International Federation of American Football are considering launching an elite Flag Football league. 🏟 With Flag Football confirmed as an event for LA28, the two organisations see an elite league as a great way to promote the sport ahead of the Summer Olympics. 🏅 Over the last few years, flag football has become more prominent, with the NFL promoting the non-contact version of the sport within the Pro Bowl Games event. 🗺 Unsurprisingly, some of the key markets in discussion for hosting a flag league or events also mirror the NFL's key strategic growth markets, such as Germany, the UK, China, and Australia. 📈 We have seen the success of initiatives like Jag Tag have a significant impact at the grassroots level, which resulted in creating more fans of the sport. 🎯 Do you see a pro flag league working, and are there any other sports the NFL and IFAF can learn from? #sportsbiz #nfl #LA28 

This week starts the NBA's first In-Season Tournament, modeled on European football cups. It's going to add new stakes to regular season games, and I think it's going to be a huge success for the NBA. This is all very new, not just to the USA but to American sports, which all follow a regular season-> playoffs-> championship sequence. The league thus has to create clear visual signals so home viewers and attendees will understand what makes these games "important." They settled on unique floor designs for each home court. I think a game on a red or orange court might be a little hard to watch (and hopefully the teams wear high-contrast uniforms), but it's certainly a bold and new creative direction. This is a really interesting article about the creative decision-making and accelerated design process to bring these to life. https://lnkd.in/g5TVJE3s

Came across activation last night thanks to Omar Haram- عمر ح. and its not official yet but could well be true. I was thinking about it from the Indian sports context and the potential benefits from such an initiative. I don't believe that two leagues or two teams from different sports are ever competing with each other. Infact, I feel it helps in growing the sports ecosystem. Can the Royal Challengers Bangalore wear a Bengaluru FC Jersey before an important game and help the ISL get more eyeballs? Can this be looked upon as an initiative to promote the region as a sports hub (like LA, Boston, New York)? It can even bring sports communities together, drive merchandise sales etc. What are your thoughts?

The National Basketball Association (NBA)'s long-awaited in-season tournament begins this week, launching a new event modeled after European soccer competitions. Games start November 4, culminating in a Final Four-style conclusion in Las Vegas. Even skeptical figures see excitement building for the tournament, which will award the winning team a new NBA Cup and $18 million prize pool. To differentiate tournament games, the NBA has implemented alternate court designs across all 30 teams. With global aspirations, the league hopes the in-season event injects energy into the regular season. Games will air on ESPN, TNT and other national and local carriers. Questions linger on how the tournament will fit alongside the normal schedule. But the NBA is betting fan engagement will ultimately validate the concept. Early buzz provides optimism. If successful, the tournament could become a staple and a benchmark for future innovation. The NBA is taking a creative risk to keep fans engaged. We'll soon see if it pays competitive and financial dividends.

In Janelle Wells, Ph.D.'s Global Entertainment and Sport course, we had a discussion about American-centric sports and why they have issues expanding globally. This article highlights the NFL's expansion into South America, as the region will host its first NFL game next season in Brazil. One thing I found interesting is that Brazil is the second largest international fanbase for the NFL, trailing only Mexico. It pegs the question why it has taken the League so long to play in South America, especially if you have identified that you have a large fanbase there? The NFL will play 4 additional games next season in front of international audiences: 3 in London and 1 in Munich. None in Mexico. It will be interesting to see how the NFL continues to expand its global fanbase in the future, and how the world either accepts or rejects the game. #GlobalWells
