@grayruby - Where can I read more about NFL survivor pool? I am in. Been caught up in work so I have not spent much time here lately.
It pains me that baseball is seen on the decline. Its such a cool and interesting sport with many little strategic games within the game, and stats/data that persists through time. ie. a .300 hitter in the 1900s was a great player as is in the 2020s. Not many other sports can say the same. It has a rich and complicated history that almost tells a story along side the American experience for over a century. I personally stopped caring about baseball for a decade, so I totally understand, and I credit the Ken Burns Baseball doc and the 10th Inning with bringing back my appreciation for the sport. Its a seriously incredible watch even for non sports fans.
I think all sports will survive, there is too much financial incentive behind it. Its a matter of if it remains to look anything like it does today. American Football for example, I think you will see fewer and fewer young children playing the sport and instead play flag football, which will eventually change the game vs the violence we see now. There will always be people that make the choice to sacrifice their health for a paycheck, but overtime or a generation, the game will look so much different.
Great response.
As for the survivor pool. Here are the basics. 10k sat buy in. Pick one team each week of NFL season. If your teams wins, you move on, if they lose you are out. Catch is you can only use a team once. There will be one chance to buy back in if you lose prior to week 9. Last player standing gets all the sats.
That's the broad overview but we will have a post soon defining rules, deadlines, where to send buy in sats etc.
