Why Super-Rich US Sports Owner (Ted Lasso) Is Looking To Buy A London Soccer Team

Ted Lasso, the story of an American football coach bringing his unique management skills to a fictional soccer club in West London, has entertained TV viewers since 2020. It now appears that some investors stateside are looking to experience this close up by buying a real English Premier League club in West London: Chelsea FC. For the fictional Lasso, swap in the very real Ricketts family. The Chicago Cubs owners have joined up with hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin to bid for the club and have flown to London to meet with Chelsea stakeholders. Meanwhile, Woody Johnson, owner of the New York Jets and a former Ambassador to the U.K., also reportedly threw his hat into the ring. The fire sale of the club is part of the fallout from the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine. The current ...

The Super Bowl And In All Other Sports The Risk Of Concussion Lurks

An estimated 90 million to 100 million Americans will tune in to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday. Unlikely to be mentioned during the festivities is this sobering but significant side note: Athletes participating in collision sports are among those at highest risk for concussion. That risk is not limited to professional football. Researchers estimate that 4 million sports and recreation-related concussions occur in the U.S. every year, across all sports and all levels of play and in both games and practices. They happen to athletes and kids playing basketball and soccer and weekend warriors who bicycle and ski. But thousands of concussions also result from car accidents, slips and trips or other blows to the head. I have been researching brain injuries for nearly a quarter-century. Acro...

Super Bowl Ad Experience The Transformation

In an era of increasing media fragmentation, you could describe the Super Bowl as the only annual media event where a substantial portion of the U.S. population gathers at the same time to watch the same thing: Over 100 million people tune in, and a good portion say the ads are the main reason they’re watching in the first place. For these reasons, the Super Bowl is the granddaddy of all ad buys. But in recent years, the tradition of millions of people simultaneously sharing the same commercial experience has become more complicated. As I discuss in my new book, advertisers are leveraging new technologies to track our personal habits and target us with individualized advertising. In other words, they want to make sure the ads we see are aligned with our existing tastes and preferences. ...

From Football Game To Entertainment Extravaganza – The Super Bowl’s Evolution

In just 50 years, the Super Bowl has become one of the biggest “shared experiences” in American culture, up there with attending religious services, voting in presidential elections and playing Pokémon Go. But curiously, many of the tens of millions who tune in don’t actually want to watch football. Perhaps it’s because the game itself has never been all that exciting, with the outcome rarely a close call. As a response, it seems the NFL has created a thriving, celebratory atmosphere around the game. So how did a battle of gridiron gladiators become second fiddle to a flashy spectacle of singers, fireworks and advertisements? The Super (boring) Bowl The Super Bowl is generally super boring – at least, in terms of the typically lopsided score. The game is so boring that a rehash of all 5...
