Ready? If you work in or around the global sports industry, 2023 promises to be quite the year. Here’s a handy guide, in A-Z form, of what to expect and what to keep your eye on. #sportsbiz
A - Australia/New Zealand: It’ll be another record-smasher of a @FIFAWWC in July, despite a tricky timezone for Europe. Key issues for women’s football: how much should it replicate the men’s game and how to close the gap between clubs/nations investing heavily and the rest.
B - Break Point: Tennis is about to get the Netflix treatment with a behind-the-scenes series, from @BoxToBoxFilms. It’s become a must-have piece of the sports content toolkit. But it’s a saturated market. So keep an eye out for leagues/teams turning to scripted original content.
MetLife very well attended for a first @XFLGuardians home game in a new league.
I’ve overheard at least 10 different fans say that it’s more crowded than they thought it would be.
Stadium makes it look smaller, @OliverLuckXFL told me - but confident the #XFL will get there

The line to buy @XFLGuardians gear stretches well past concessions
Very good sign the fans are in this for the long haul

DAY ONE #XFL fan rocking the #XFL He Hate Me jersey at the @XFLGuardians kickoff game here at MetLife #OnDuty
Should be called League of Marvel, since these teams look they were designed from Batman movie, but this a winner, really good product on field #XFL2020
Ironic that XFL success may be based on MLS, smaller stadiums where fans are on top of action instead of empty arenas, sell less tix but have far more energy poppin off
Would be dope if they signed Kaepernick & Tebow, but Kap would be hightest $$$ & it also highlights the true star of #XFL which, is the rules. Day 1 these are all better ideas
Just a reminder that the new #XFL will not hire players who have arrest records and will make sure that all of its players stand for the national anthem.

McMahon on controlling the players:
“We want to entertain that’s what we do. There are not going to be any politics involved with this thing. We’re not going to have any social issues involved. People want to be entertained. It’s the entertainment value that sometimes is lost.”

Introducing, the new #XFL, from the same entertainment company who brought you the #BigBossMan, a Confederate flag wearing cop who beat you if you stepped out of line.
2020 in the business of sport? Consider this A to Z thread of things to keep an eye on as your cheat sheet for a new year. #sportsbiz
A - ATP Cup: Men’s #tennis has yet another team event joining its cluttered calendar to sit alongside the Davis Cup and Laver Cup, as the politics of the sport play out in public. The ATP’s new management have lots to do - hopefully it includes developing a mixed team tournament.
B - Budapest: Quietly and confidently emerging as Europe’s latest major events host, with a trio of @EURO2020 games, the expanded @FedCup finals in April and the start of May’s @giroditalia making this a big year. An Olympic host in the 2030s?
