Infographic: Can We Make Sense of Pro Football and Social Media?
This week’s Infographic comes to you courtesy of data from MVPIndex, the world’s leading athlete social media measurement firm. They calculate Reach, Engagement and Conversation scores for athletes on social media, providing a valuable tool for brands as they figure out the best ways to harness the power of sports stars’ social media to spread their message. For players with the largest and most impactful social media followings, there was less correlation with salary or their team’s record and more correlation with a strong social brand across multiple channels (Twitter, Instagram and Facebook). The key takeaway here is that athletes who devote the time and effort to creating a broad-based social media presence are the ones who see the biggest impact – just like on the field, hustle matters!

It’s one more data point that sports and blockchain are a match made in heaven – or at least in the Stars!

We Want Your Input!
People frequently ask us: do you really want fan input on how to run the league? Our answer is an unequivocal: YES! Not only will fans be driving all football-related decisions once the games are being played on the field, but we want fans to play an integral role in how we structure our league operations. The main channel for such communication has been and will continue to be our Telegram channel, where you can chat directly with all of our team members and co-founders at nearly any hour of the day. We have been discussing a range of topics, from Token structure to fan engagement to simply sharing thoughts on the NFL playoffs and college bowl games. We would love your input as well!
