CEO of Fan-Controlled League Says Blockchain Will Transform Sports

The chief executive of the Fan-Controlled Football League, a new real-world league where fans call the shots, believes blockchain will revolutionize sports.

In a guest post on Hashtag Sports, FCFL CEO Sohrob Farudi said blockchain (which is used by the FCFL) will flourish with fantasy and legalized sports gambling, and will modernize the market for sports memorabilia and event ticketing.

For fantasy and gambling, Farudi said blockchain will open up the world of professional sports to the “wisdom of the crowd,” or a sort-of fan-based decision making that could further engage fans and improve the game.
