PMC stops sports complex work by ILS Law college (Hindustan Times)

Locals and civic activists have opposed the move on grounds that it may damage the sprawling hills and their ecology.

Sushma Date, member, DGPS, said, “It’s disappointing that the one entity we trusted to keep the tekdi free from construction or commercial activity has decided to build a sports complex here. With the establishment of a sports complex, we will also be ensuring that there are no further encroachments and that we can claim the space.” The idea is to create a safe space for students and citizens where there is no fear of encroachers or thieves, college officials said. We have had incidents of robberies and illegal drug usage in the area. We will inspect the area in detail and look into the background of the activity. The sports complex is being constructed on Vetal Tekdi and the stop work notice was served after PMC officials conducted a field visit on Tuesday.

Sports industry gathers to go OTT in Madrid (IBC365)

While rights-holding broadcasters are increasingly determined to ensure their linear sports output is available to their viewers via online channels, ...

For a strong theme – that would be attractive to advertisers - she advised that 60-80 hours of relevant and engaging content was sufficient to launch a channel: 20-25 percent of the content would need to be refreshed each month. Aiming to launch in 2023, Dyn Media sees a gap in the market for streaming sports other than soccer. OneFootball’s current rights roster includes Bundesliga rights in Brazil, Serie A in the UK and Serie A, B and C matches in Italy. In a session exploring the high profile, rapidly growing “FAST” opportunity, Ana Lowry, Head of Business Development for the Samsung TV Plus connected TV eco-system revealed that the platform was currently supporting 1000 FAST channels in Europe. Nia Wyn Thomas, Senior Producer for Barclays FA WSL at Sky Sports noted that production teams for WSL work across all football bringing experience of Premier League, EFL, Scottish Football and international matches to the women’s output. As a result, most consumption is non-live and a new mobile app, launched in September, is central to the strategy. The League manages a streaming platform that has been adopted by 60 percent of member clubs, while the rest run their own services. Although the EFL has a broadcast deal with Sky, only five percent of the EFL’s 1600+ matches a year are on TV. Georgiou spoke about the wealth of content the enlarged organisation now had access to and the fact that the company enjoyed significant distribution across free-to-air, cable or streaming in most of Europe. The importance for OTT services to move beyond traditional linear television through innovations in fan engagement, user experience, personalisation and the potential of virtual and mixed reality were also discussed. While rights-holding broadcasters are increasingly determined to ensure their linear sports output is available to their viewers via online channels, the sports industry is looking to OTT as a means of democratising coverage to engage fans and generate new revenue streams. Direct-to-consumer is a key to the NBA’s efforts to challenge soccer and build new audiences outside the US according to Ralph Rivera, Managing Director, Europe/Middle East.

The NFL Is the Most Popular Sport to Bet On (Variety)

New VIP+ Analysis: A detailed look at which sports mobile gamblers place wagers on, with a focus on what factors in to the NFL beingmost popular.

The current NFL season has seen a large number of games coming down to the final plays, which is also driving interest in betting. Another interesting finding from the collaboration between Variety Intelligence Platform and CRG Global was that, proportionately, most sports bettors who are fans of the NFL bet on it. The impact of the NFL can be seen in real terms when assessing the total being wagered each month across states where sports betting is legal. An interesting finding from VIP+’s report is that betting on the NFL increases with age among sports gamblers. This was a considerable amount greater than the next most popular sport to bet on, the NBA (54%), followed by the MLB (44%, although it was the postseason then, with fewer games to bet on) and college football (34%). gamblers’ favorite sport on which to bet.

Web3 projects aim to create engagement between fans and sports ... (Cointelegraph)

DAOs, NFTs and the metaverse may create better engagement between fans and sports leagues, but will these concepts resonate with the mainstream?

Dirk Lueth, co-founder and co-chief executive officer of Upland — a metaverse mapped to the real world — told Cointelegraph that the sports industry is looking for ways to better engage with their younger audience and international fan base. Although such a model doesn’t allow fans to vote on certain decisions, Lueth explained that a Metaverse approach enables sports fans to enhance ownership of assets within a realistic visual environment. Regarding a DAO model, Rosenfeld said that a governance token allowing fans to vote should also be carefully considered. If much of the way we express ourselves is on online platforms and virtual worlds, it’s natural for our sports teams to meet us there.” Flex Chapman, co-founder at Krause House, added that for a long time, fans have served as the underlying unit of sports leagues. According to Commodore, this process is internal, yet he noted that Krause House aims to bring this model to the NBA. “Web3 is the internet with true ownership, as it provides a built-in layer that makes it easy to hold and transfer value. This is an important point to consider, given that fan engagement has long served as the backbone for ensuring sponsor revenue, ticket and merchandise sales, along with the overall popularity of a sports league. In order to change this, Commodore said that Krause House is offering an NFT-based membership model, which essentially serves as a ticket into its community. “One interesting thing to think about is that each NBA team really lacks a direct relationship with their fan base by doing things such as barring season ticket holders on an email list. As of today, Commodore explained that NBA fans are not engaged on the levels that they should be. “Token holders will have the most control over the direction of the league from here,” he said.

Jay Matey Of The United Brain Association Talks CTE in Sports (DocWire News)

DocWire News: Can you provide us with some professional background on yourself? Jay Matey: My name is Jay Matey. I'm an electrical engineer by trade. I.

Hopefully as people understand the sense of urgency and the importance of reducing head impact, it won’t be cool to head a ball that’s coming down from a thousand feet high, or my fraternity brothers, soccer friends used to love to head posts in our basement just to show that they could. United speaking more to the unification of the neurological aspects of the mind and the psychological aspects of the mind. That thumb shape cut out in the front of NFL helmets at current, that helps to take some of the energy of a head-to-head contact, dissipate it in the shell of the helmet, and then transfer the shock energy through the padding of the helmet onto your brain. And the smartest thing you can do for yourself every day is to be aware of what’s around you so that you don’t get into head impact situations. And I think as we understand the fact that these bunks on the noggin really make a difference, and education then becomes my first answer. Education is the starting answer because as you learn that you are susceptible to these things, you smarten up and start to protect yourself. So the training comes into football coaches teaching their players how to tackle correctly, soccer coaches teaching players how to head the ball. The longer you play, the older you get, the more likely you get to a hundred percent diagnosis of CTE, unfortunately posthumously. That’s in the deep folds of your brain. We find that the comorbidities between neurological disorders and other psychological disorders just jumped right off the page. The company started in about 2018 and part of the investigation as to what it is we really could do meant putting together a marketing and business plan where we realized that our best reach to people was using United Brain Association as our moniker. We kind of had a common interest in brain science, and the next thing you know, he’s got United …

Are Sports Worth the Risks? (The Atlantic)

In my estimation, if an athlete on a college athletic scholarship is injured in a way that renders them physically unable to play their sport, the institution ...

Women who wish to “break barriers” in STEM can look forward to diving into a mountain of money, but men who wish to do the same in a profession like Speech-Language Pathology (90%+ female) can look forward to nothing of the sort. To put that in perspective, the Empire State Building (one of the world’s first supertalls, completed in 1931) is about three times taller than it is wide—“pudgy,” as one engineer described it to me. As far as I can tell, “Male” is the only noticeably underrepresented demographic in college that is also highly underrepresented in the scholarship world. … The dearth of independents is contributing to a loss of faith in Congress as a representative democratic institution. I switched back to Republican because I wanted to vote in the Republican Primary in the closed primary system in Florida. The reality is that the extremists are a vocal minority. This is hardly surprising; one would expect the one-third to one-half of Americans who decline to affiliate with Democrats or Republicans to dislike a system dominated by them. And in a moment when people still crave stability, Trump’s brand of aggressive chaos served as a reminder of the risks of the modern GOP, over which he still maintains a strong grip. Abortion bans with no exceptions are extremely unpopular, but that doesn’t mean creating exceptions that apply only to a small number of the most alarming situations is sufficient to stem the political damage. If that is the case, and if our distant relatives are still alive in some deep Martian cave, then just about the worst way to go looking for them would be to land in a septic spacecraft. There is also no provision in the Division I Manual to prohibit a coach from revoking a scholarship the year after a recruit gets hurt. What do you think about the health and safety risks that are inherent (to different degrees) in sports and the ethical questions they raise?

With a solid market, device penetration and inexpensive data prices to boot, interactive sports viewing in the country may become a reality sooner than expected. While the most common interactive sports viewing today comprises chat exchanges between sports fans viewing LIVE content, JioCinema took the game a few notches higher during the FIFA World Cup. For instance, when it launched in early 2019, Netflix’s then-revolutionary show from its Black Mirror universe, ‘Bandersnatch’, let viewers pick plot outcomes while the story was in progress. “The rollout of 5G technology is also all set to bring 4G prices down, which means consuming content becomes cheaper,” he added. For the moment, it’s working. On December 18, an unprecedented 32 million viewers from India logged onto Jio Cinema app to watch Lionel Messi lift the FIFA World Cup.
