  • Look, Sport – and in particular, the Premier League – has a big broadcasting issue. With many concerned and unable to watch their favourite games, a change has to come soon…

  • A potential fix for this could lie in subscription streaming services for Sport. Think of Netflix, but it just be Sport 🤤

  • Investing much more time (and money 🤑) in updating their Sport selection, Roku TV – a smart TV – are planning to use AI in personalising users’ Sport preferences

  • Who knows, maybe they know something we don’t…

  • NASCAR - historically one of the biggest companies in the Motor Sports scene, yet seemingly spoken about less and less with the F1’s boom.

  • Not afraid of their competitors' rise in popularity, NASCAR seems to be looking into the future. How, you ask? The Metaverse, of course.

  • Ready to make their virtual debut in Roblox, NASCAR have signed a deal with Dubit - a Metaverse platform

  • Details on the deal can be found in this video 

  • Football has a big problem. A VERY big problem… Time wasting. Trust us, it’s worse than you think - check out this video 

  • With its prevalence becoming more and more of an issue in modern day football, FIFA are taking a hardcore stance against it

  • IFAB, the International Football Association Board, have green lighted changes to the way the game is timed

  • With the new changes, referees are said to become more harsh (and accurate) when it comes to adding injury time to games

  • As seen in the World Cup, games can now be expected to go over 100 minutes!
