“Some data: 1/3 of world fans follow at least two clubs and often these two are present among the founders of the Super League.”
“10% are fascinated by great players, not clubs. 2/3 follow football for what is now called ‘fomo’, fear of missing out, fear of being cut off. And now the most alarming percentage: 40% of children between 15 and 24 years old have no interest in football.”
“We need a competition capable of opposing what they reproduce on digital platforms, transforming the virtual into real. Through Fifa you create your own competition, that competition has to be brought back to the real world.”
“Let’s leave out the effects of the competition of the various
Fortnite, Call of Duty etc., authentic catalysts of the attention of today’s kids destined to be tomorrow’s spenders.”
Interesting indeed. It does align with the fact that video games is a bigger industry than the film and North American sports combined.

Read somewhere else that it's also bigger than music, film and TV combined but can't find the source right now.

People don't realize that it's in human nature to change. People change, generations change, priorities and lifestyle changes. Deep down, though, rotten nature stays the same.
It's silly and very stupid to think how SL would make younger people watch football instead of playing Fortnite, LoL, PoE, DOTA, WoW or any other game. E-sports sadly is becoming a new thing and it attracts a lot of people from which majority is young. Those aren't interested in football, those are gamers, they hardly care about anything bar video games and close set of friends. Even with SL I'd bet maybe 2-3% of those would care about the competition. But more than 2-3% of the current fanbase wouldn't even watch SL.
Lel u crazy.
Lots of people who follow esports also follow real sports. They're not the complete fuckin weirdos you're making them out to be.
