10 To Watch : Mayor’s Edition 3419

10 TO WATCH : WEEK OF MARCH 4

MAYOR’S EDITION

The MLS ball is rolling. This weekend saw Major League Soccer kick off season 24, complete with new teams, new messaging, and a new playoff format. New this year is the addition of a 24th club in FC Cincinnati, along with a new stadium in Minnesota, Allianz Field. MLS also launched the league’s new mobile app campaign – “Live Your Colors” – which will run on broadcast and digital platforms throughout the season. The league will look to top last season’s successes, which included record revenue for attendance and record TV viewership. On the sponsorship side, Sporting Kansas City and Hallmark locked in a creative new partnership designed to align the brands around “opportunities to put more care into the world by reaching fans, players and families across the soccer community.” In Indianapolis, the Indiana state senate has approved legislation that "keeps the effort alive to fund" a $150 million stadium for an MLS team, according to the Indianapolis Star. The bill would also fund a proposed 25-year lease extension for the Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and an Indiana Convention Center expansion.

To commemorate fans and players across Latin American and US Hispanic communities, the NBA is celebrating its 13th annual Noches Éne•Bé•A Latin nights program. Throughout the month of March, NBA games will feature celebratory warmup shirts and merchandise as well as 15 games with in-arena festivities. All 30 NBA teams wearing specially-designed Fanatics Branded Noches Éne•Bé•A warmup shirts during the first two weeks of March. The celebrations will be supported by unique content on the league’s English and Spanish-language social media pages. The NBA has proven time and again that it is a trend setter in cultural outreach across the globe, whether than means signing signature Eastern European players or conducting off season marketing tours in China. The annual Latin nights program is just another example of this mindset, albeit conducted here at home.

The NBA sees a big payoff for a little patch. The NBA’s jersey patch program is more than halfway through its three-season test and the results are clear: It’s a slam dunk. As the league continues to search for new revenue, the patch program has delivered. The 29 deals – the Oklahoma City Thunder remain the only club without a patch partner – generate more than $150 million per year in new revenue for the teams, while sponsors receive 25%-50% more exposure than they would have on a comparable spend, according to Navigate Research. With that in mind, the league is trying to figure out how to make more money off the program. One way is to expand where jerseys with team patches are sold. Fans want exact replicas of what players wear on-court, but those can’t be found at a department store or sporting goods website. Fans can only get those at team-controlled stores or sites, and even then they are tough to find. The patch sponsorship pilot program has far exceeded league expectations. In April, 2016, Commissioner Adam Silver projected the sponsorships would generate around $100 million in newfound revenue, so the league has exceeded its goal by more than 50%.

Human Kinetics and Mascot Books have launched one of the most anticipated sports business chronicles ever assembled, The Sport Business Handbook: Insights From 100+ Leaders Who Shaped 50 Years of the Industry. This anthology, compiled by Rick Horrow with Rick Burton and Myles Schrag, will take fans, students and those involved in the sports and entertainment industry into the lives of more than 100 executives during the boom era of sports business and marketing. The collection features pieces from league commissioners such as Gary Bettman of the NHL, Don Garber of MLS, Paul Tagliabue of the NFL, Oliver Luck of the XFL, and Nick Sakiewicz of The National Lacrosse League; executives such as NBC Sports president Mark Lazarus, Liverpool’s Peter Moore, the Vikings’ Kevin Warren, and Larry Lucchino of the Red Sox; administrators such as the University of Oklahoma’s Joe Castiglione, Arizona State’s Ray Anderson, and N.C. State’s Deborah Yow; and professional athletes such as the Miami Heat’s Shane Battier, Olympic champions Scott Hamilton and Angela Ruggiero, and baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. These leaders tell stories in their own words about lessons learned, achieving success and overcoming failure, and ultimately inspire readers to forge their own paths in the industry.

PGA Tour now accepting gambling related sponsorships. The PGA Tour has revised its regulations toward sponsorships with gambling brands, which can now be considered for Official Marketing Partners for all six tours overseen by the PGA Tour. In addition, tournaments and players also can seek sponsored deals with such entities. “As the situation with legalized sports betting in the U.S. has evolved since the Supreme Court’s ruling last May, we’ve seen broader acceptance in sports betting and gaming involvement with pro sports,” PGA Tour Senior Vice President Andy Levinson said. “We felt it was time to look at our policies, given the public perception around gaming, and to update those policies to be consistent with public sentiment.” The PGA Tour is making major sponsorship changes by allowing certain gambling deals and broadening the liquor category for players. At a Tour meeting at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, players were briefed on the changes that now will allow sponsorships with casinos and gambling resorts, effective immediately. The Tour is also allowing official marketing partnerships and tournament title deals with certain gambling entities and daily fantasy sports concerns.

Fanatics will sell sports merchandise via South Korean site Coupang. According to SportsBusiness Journal, Fanatics is taking the wraps off a 10-year deal with Korean e-commerce site Coupang, in which Fanatics will launch a store offering hundreds of thousands of licensed sports items in May. The “marketplace” deal includes an exclusive provider designation for Fanatics, and follows a similar arrangement Fanatics made with Walmart.com, announced last month. Renowned as the “Amazon of South Korea,” nine-year-old Coupang is that country's largest online retailer, with a valuation of $9 billion. Late last year, Coupang got a $2 billion capital infusion from a fund controlled by SoftBank, which in 2017 made a $1 billion investment in Fanatics. Like the majority of America’s pro sports leagues, Fanatics is fully appreciating the growth potential in Asia; South Korea is only its latest conquest.

Epic Games laid out the road ahead for Fortnite esports, where $100 million is up for grabs this year, leading into this summer’s Fortnite World Cup. The Fortnite World Cup, where $30 million will be on the line, will take place in New York City July 26-28 with each player guaranteed a minimum of $50,000, and featuring both an individual competition (Solos) and a two-player-team event (Duos). Leading up to the championship, players can punch their ticket well as providing prize support to select third-party tournaments. These initiatives will allow the developer to award the remainder of the $100 million in prizing it committed to Fortnite’s first competitive season last year via ten weekly online qualifier tournaments beginning on April 13. Each qualifier will award $1 million in total prizing. The news was announced in an esports update from Epic Games, which also noted that the publisher will offer an additional $1 million a week in separate tournaments through the end of the year, with competitions that will “feature a wider variety of modes and formats.” In another sign of its reach, Epic also vowed to continue to offer prize support to select third-party tournaments.

MLB gives Sportradar AG its exclusive data for sports betting wagers. A multiyear contract has authorized Sportradar to sell Major League Baseball’s official data to bookmakers and media companies in the U.S. and on an international scale. According to Bloomberg, the Swiss firm will be the exclusive gatekeeper for MLB data starting at the beginning of the 2019 season and will serve as an intermediary for sports-betting operators that want to offer in-game bets on baseball games. With the deal, MLB joins the NBA as the only major sport leagues to have U.S. gambling data deals. In addition to data for sportsbooks, Sportradar will have the rights to distribute live game video to overseas gambling houses to pair alongside odds. With the naturally slower pace of baseball, gambling provides huge potential to draw in new fans around the globe who will want to place wagers throughout the 9+ innings of each 162 regular season games

Sports betting is increasing the subscriber count for Bleacher Report (B/R). Subscriptions are flowing in for B/R’s betting channel which has grown three times faster than all other general content channels. Although the B/R subscriptions are free, the company can use the channels to mine user information on programming, advertising, and marketing. According to Reuters, B/R’s app has been downloaded more than 20 million times since 2011 and has nearly five million active monthly users. B/R also announced that it will open a studio inside one of Caesars Entertainment Corp’s Las Vegas casino sometime in April. After the Supreme Court ruled to legalize, regulate, and tax sports betting last May, now roughly 63% of fans between 21-34 years of age think wagering on sports is acceptable, while 51% of all sports fans welcome sports gambling. Many companies have rushed in to be the gatekeepers of sports betting knowledge and it seems that B/R is one leading the pack.

The NFL held its third annual Women's Careers in Football Forum around the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last week. The program is "designed to promote and increase the number of women working in NFL jobs," according to the Indianapolis Star. According to the NFL, 19 women have "landed a total of 26 jobs with nine NFL teams, six colleges" and three AAF teams in the first two years of the program, and 42 women in attendance this year are hoping to follow suit. NFL Senior Director of Football Development Samantha Rapoport said, "We're seeing progress, we're certainly seeing a lot more women enter into the pipeline, but women are still vastly underrepresented." Colts GM Chris Ballard is one of five execs in attendance at the event, along with Giants Senior VP and GM Dave Gettleman, Rams GM Les Snead, Eagles VP of Football Operations Andrew Berry, and Chargers Director of Player Personnel JoJo Wooden. Ballard is there because he "believes in the program's goal: increasing the number of women in NFL front offices." Ballard offered Colts co-owner and Vice Chair Carlie Irsay-Gordon as an "example as somebody who's brought a different perspective to the Colts organization by constantly asking the right kinds of questions.”

i’m sorry but this fetishizing thing is getting wayy out of hand. on one side, we have some korean rpers become incredibly offended about “krp” being a tag and using anyone in the korean industry as a fc. the reason this tag exists is to filter out other types of rps. If you type in “rp” in the tumblr search bar, the first things that pop up are either indie rp blogs OR westernized rp groups ( and the occasional harry potter cosplayer, anime rper, etc ).

that being said, there are many rps that are being hidden within the shadows. & if you look at the krp tags with the many krp directories, most are tagged “rp” AND “krp” for those that are specifically looking for a directory that accepts fcs of asian decent that work in the entertainment industry. AND while we’re on the topic of truth, many do not want to rp with people of asian decent in most western roleplays. in fact, some even make it a race thing, and focus nothing on the character.

yes, this is only to some ( for those that end up complaining later about something I wrote ) before we even get to the topic of fetishes.

now, i’m not korean, but i am a poc and when i see someone using a poc fc, i applaud them simply because people are going out of their comfort zone to rp a poc and they might possibly get it all wrong, but it’s not something to stress over.

now, i’m not attacking someone specifically, but i’m going to take the blogger that has been shared on this blog to disprove a lot of what they said. ( i’ll send in some receipts as well if need be. )

“korean people are not a genre. we aren’t an aesthetic. do you not find it strange that theres a whole subgenre of roleplay dedicated to korean muses? literally no one else in any other subgenre does this. i have never seen a genre of roleplay for a specific ethnicity. anime and comic rp group themselves as a genre because of the similarities in artistic medium..”

this is an incrediblyvalid point, but I’d very respectfully disagree. honey, you’re not looking hard enough into the rp tags if you don’t notice a damn whole rp community dedicated to comic rp, anime, and specific ethnicity.

there is a yandere tag, a slice of life tag, an anime tag for rp in that specific category. krp is just one of many.

yes, you’re tired of all the damn fetishizing, the use of aesthetic and etc. however, everything is a damn aesthetic. everything and there is no hiding it that most people are going to be attracted to things that catch their eye.

also, while we’re at it, what about the western faceclaims? aren’t they fetishized too? take kylie jenner, for example. the majority of the rps that have a kylie jenner faceclaim are usually those that use her for smut and aesthetic purposes. the girl is gorgeous, no denying that, but she is fetishized nevertheless and she’s not the only one. what about ariana grande? justin bieber? jensen ackles? gigi hadid? harry fucking styles? or even nina dobrev?

let’s move on to our next point before i get nasty.

reblogging gifsets of kpop idols you like or kdramas you want to watch and tagging it as ‘omg my muse would definitely have a crush on this person’ is the most shallow, obvious form of yellow fever i’ve ever seen. whether your muse would have a crush on this idol or actor is not even relevant to the blog, it’s relevant to you, the mun, who sees a pretty korean face and decides that it fits the ‘aesthetic’ of your blog.

i’m sorry, but how can you make such a generalized statement? what if the mun that has reblogged the set of gifsets know about the character portrayed in these korean dramas? and honestly, as humanswe are just naturally attracted to others that are better looking ( it’s called natural selection ). and I’m livid because how do you know what their character wants and doesn’t want? how do you know what attracts them?if you have a mind reader, please, by all means, let me know since you know much about the mind of another mun.

“ i’ve never seen anime rp ever reblog gifsets of an anime that’s entirely different from the series that their muse is from and claim that their muse would have a crush on this irrelevant anime character whom they have had no interactions with. so why do you do that to real people? it’s just a tag of korean people who you think are hot? do you not see how fetishizing that is?”

this is bullshit and you know it ( not the ending part but gifsets of anime part ). if a said mun uses a face claim from tokyo ghoul and then reblog a gifset from another anime, then so be it and it's common.

and why do you constantly treat korean people like fictional characters you can just fuck around with? does it not strike you as weird to write aus of real people? they’re not even ocs, you just take the idol, their name, their age, their face, and then change everything else around them. these people are not characters, they’re real life entertainers and you treat them like fictional characters, like accessories. writing aus of fictional characters comes from the sentiment of wanting to create something new based on what’s already given of a person who isnt real. it’s fetishizing, it’s dehumanizing, and it’s so painfully uncomfortable to see as a korean person. and it’s not in the same vein as writing an oc and having a faceclaim for them because when you retain the name and ‘character’ of the faceclaim, you’re writing this idol, not an oc, as if the fc werent people. i’ve never seen a ‘benedict cumberbatch au rp blog’ or a ‘tom hiddleston rp blog’ so why is this such a common occurrence to korean celebrities?

so then stop rp. stop every roleplay out there since this is incredibly demoralizing and inhumane. every damn faceclaim in the roleplay world is demoralizing in your definition. roleplay was meant to be fun, meant to be a release from the real world to be created in a fun and safeenvironment.

i’m not saying this to be mean. i’m not saying this to be salty ( actually yes I am ) but a lot of what you’re saying is your opinion and yours alone. and as a poc i understand your argument.

as for those “benedict cumberbatch blogs” or “tom hiddleston blogs”:
