What's Up with the FAN Token World Tour?
Last week, while Jason Chilton represented at Consensus in NYC, it marked the RARE week when Sohrob, Patrick and Grant were all in the Los Angeles office. It provided a unique opportunity for in-person dialogue. And the reprieve is not so short lived, as this week's "tour dates" keep Sohrob and Patrick in LA and our co-founders don't hit the real road again for two more weeks!
This week, if you are in LA, check out Patrick and Sohrob at Digital Hollywood:
On Tuesday Patrick participates on a panel entitled "Esports – Fantasy Sports – Video Games – VR/AR Games - Analytic Driven Real-Time Games" along with such industry heavyweights as Ann Hand, CEO, Super League Gaming; Nate Loucks, Vice President of Original Content, Whistle Sports; Jace Hall, General Partner, Vision eSports; Jon Bukosky, CEO, Ultimate Media Ventures; and Steve Bradbury, President, Deep Sports.
And on Thursday, it's Sohrob's turn as he'll discuss "Funding and Business Development in ICOs, Blockchain, AR/VR, AI and Immersion – From VCs to Kickstarter and Corporate Investments" alongside Peter Pham, co-founder, Science; Mike Parker, Partner, AGC Partners; Valentin Preobrazhenskiy, CEO & Founder, LATOKEN; Gretchen Fox, CMO, AIKON; Kinsey Cronin, Director of Business Development, StartEngine; and Mariana Danilovic, Founder and Managing Director, Hollywood Portfolio.
Our CMO Jen Rottenberg will be back in Boston on Wednesday, participating on a panel at the Sports Tech City Summit, so if you are in the area, check it out.
And in two weeks look for FCFL Commissioner Ray Austin speaking at the Rainbow PUSH Annual Conference in Chicago and Patrick Dees to be featured at FanVest and the XLIVE Reception Series in the Bay Area.

And FCFL Head of Football Experience Jason Chilton continues to flesh out his dream of a world where all sports are Fan Controlled. This week he takes a look at what a Fan Controlled Motorsports Series might look like.

Infographic: Making Sense of Global Sports Social Media
This week's infographic takes a look at data from Hookit, the leading sports sponsorship analytics and valuation platform. Specifically, we looked at the top athletes represented in Hookit's Engagement 100 for 2018 to see if we could make sense of Global Sports Social Media. While Global Soccer remains the most popular with their athletes ranking highest, we see athletes from all other sports cracking the top 10 and showing engaging social media statistics! Take a look for yourself below!
Notable News
ESPN's coverage of the 2018 WNBA season will tip off on Sunday at 5pm on ESPN2 with the Los Angeles Sparks and Minnesota Lynx. ESPN will have several special telecasts this season featuring unique production methods tailored to offer commentary and analysis from some of the best voices in the game. For example, the May 24 telecast will see Rebecca Lobo and Kara Lawson be the "Coaches on the Bench", with each sitting on an opposing team's side of the scorer's table and offering viewers analysis and other details from a coach's perspective on substitutions, play decisions and in-game adjustments.
American Football sports equipment titan, Riddell introduces head injury analytics to a smart helmet. Throughout recent years, we have seen a strong push for player safety within American Football Leagues. Riddell backs those efforts with this helmet that alerts coaches when a player's smart helmet detects significant impacts during a game. Player safety is of big concern to the FCFL and we appreciate seeing positive steps forward to a safer game!
David Tepper, founder and president of Appaloosa Management, a global hedge fund based in Miami, Florida has agreed to pay $2.3 billion for the Carolina Panthers NFL franchise. The value of NFL franchises continue to climb with this purchase being a record price. Previously, the record was held by Terry Pegula who purchased the Buffalo Bills for $1.4 billion in 2014. What NFL franchise do you think is the most valuable?
Goldman Sachs opens the door for institutional investors to trade Bitcoin. Goldman Sachs will become the first regulated institution to afford clients the ability to trade Bitcoin futures via one of its New York desks! Lots of speculation has occurred about what this means for the cryptocurrency market. At this stage, it is unclear which direction these futures traders will push the market. In any case, it is a good sign for the crypto community to see watchful eyes turning towards the space!
HTC announced plans to release a blockchain-powered phone named Exodus, giving it a universal wallet and hardware support for cryptocurrencies and decentralized apps. The Exodus phone will start with support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major networks, with plans to add in additional partnerships later on. HTC Vive founder Phil Chen will be heading all blockchain initiatives and also receives a new title, "decentralized chief officer." Who is planning on getting their Exodus phone to manage their FAN Tokens?

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!
