I don't care too much about sportsball, but this video explains some basics about AFL vs. NFL:

There are some good business strategies in this video that can be applied to a great number of other disciplines. For example:



This can be generalized as "Ways to compete with the top dog ..."

  1. Be accessible
  2. Have a good product
  3. Differentiate yourself from the competition

I know, it's really basic, but it's good to keep in mind. The thing is, not every one of those items can always be attained in every area simultaneously. As long as there's a plan and a vision on how to execute, you're in good shape ... maybe.


However, this formula doesn't always work:

Apparently, XFL wasn't football enough for football fans and it wasn't WWF enough for the wrestling fans. So I guess they failed primarily at item #3, in spite of their intent to literally punch it up a notch.

Given the following venn diagram:



The goal was to attract both groups A and B, entirely. Instead, they only managed to attract the intersection of A and B.


Bottom line, even with a plan and a vision, it's still an uphill battle to supplant the dominant competitor.

Remember that time they did football with trampolines?

Hot people with balls on trampolines is gonna be the newest tribe yet
queue the nerd screeching and also the sportsball screeching, both screech!

The difference is equal to the numerical distance between "A" and "N".

A for Excellence, also thank you for not making this another homage to Kobe to read ;)

@markymark are you saying that the worship of sports isn't just EVERYTHING
I'm offended of the lack of sportsball action and blockchain integration. All sportsballs should have their own ICO's DPOS and also I'd add, "Proof of Brain" but maybe put that last part on some sort of sliding scale or bell curve.
