The professional American football team – Tennessee Titans – will reportedly become the first NFL club to accept bitcoin as a means of payment. Fans will be able to purchase season tickets and sponsorship opportunities via the primary digital asset.
The First NFL Team to Hop on The BTC Bandwagon
It is safe to say that the cryptocurrency industry has engaged with numerous niches in recent months, including the sports sector. Several digital asset companies have partnered with major soccer clubs. For one, the world’s leading crypto exchange – Binance – បានក្លាយជា a global sponsor of Argentina’s national soccer team.
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is another example. Last year, Mark Cuban’s club – The Dallas Mavericks – បានបើក fans to buy tickets and merchandise products in digital assets.
នេះបើយោងតាមការថ្មីមួយ របាយការណ៍, the latest sports entity to join that list is the NFL team – Tennessee Titans. The football club will become the first to allow bitcoin payments for season tickets, suits, PSLs, and sponsorship opportunities. At a later stage, the team plans to extend the initiative and enable the purchase of single tickets, merchandise, and at-game food and beverage sales via the primary cryptocurrency.
Tennessee Titans’ partner in the move is UTXO Management – a Nashville-based digital asset fund. Speaking on the matter was David Bailey – Partner at the company:
"យើងមានមោទនភាពក្នុងការចាប់ដៃគូជាមួយ Tennessee Titans នៅពេលដែលពួកគេចាប់ផ្តើមដំណើរ Bitcoin របស់ពួកគេ ហើយផ្តល់ជូនអ្នកគាំទ្រនូវវិធីថ្មីក្នុងការទូទាត់។ ឆ្នាំ 2022 គឺជាឆ្នាំពិសេសមួយ នៅពេលដែលយើងបន្តធ្វើការជាមួយក្រុមកីឡាអាជីព ដើម្បីជួយអប់រំ និងការទទួលយក Bitcoin យ៉ាងច្រើនបន្ថែមទៀត។ Titans គឺជាសិទ្ធិផ្តាច់មុខរបស់ NFL កំពូល និងមានលក្ខណៈធម្មជាតិសម្រាប់ភាពជាដៃគូនេះ។”
Despite being the first to embrace BTC for payments, Tennessee Titans are not the only NFL team related to the world of crypto. In May 2021, the New York Giants សហការ with the largest digital asset manager Grayscale. Following the collaboration, the latter became the “Presenting Sponsor” of the four-time Super Bowl winner.
NFL Players Keen on Crypto
It is worth mentioning that some of the NFL stars are supporters of the asset class. In November last year, the Green Bay Packers quarterback – Aaron Rodgers – បានស្បថ to convert some of his $33.5 million salary into bitcoin, describing the asset as the “future of money.”
Last Christmas, Michael McCorkle “Mac” Jones លេង the role of Santa Claus for his team (the New England Patriots) in a rather unusual way. He gifted bitcoin to 12 of his teammates.
Arguably the most popular name in the NFL – Tom Brady – is also a crypto proponent. In April 2021, he លោត into the non-fungible token craze by releasing his own NFT platform called Autograph. Shortly after, Brady took an equity stake in the crypto exchange FTX, becoming an ambassador for the company.
Several months later, the seven-time Super Bowl winner បាននិយាយថា: he would “love” to receive some of his earnings in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana tokens.
