Opinion: Would combining the debate about “whether historical statues are appropriate in 2024” with sports be the ultimate fictional sports program for kids? Yes! Here’s why, nothing captures the drama of victory more than knocking over a statue (think Saddam Hussein), and learning about historical figures (and the importance of debate) is educational gold!! How it works: one “fictional team” wants to keep the statue and explains why (and vice versa for the other team). The athlete actors are real college-age players who play their sport for a few consecutive days and their best plays are patched together to make a fictional game in “after school football” show (broadcast live). The show will generate headlines for all ages btw… because the winner of the matches are done via AI algorithm and anything can happen (sorry Abraham Lincoln). But will adults love the game too? Yes! Because the “who wins” algorithm is so random that they can even bet on the game!! Dive deep! Invent and simplify.. think big.. ownership… frugality.. “who's got it better than us“.. giddy up!!
It was great to be at last week’s Thursday Night Football game at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, where the Minnesota Vikings lost a close one to the Los Angeles Rams. It’s always exciting to catch the action in person and connect with the incredible production and tech teams that make TNF on Prime a success. According to figures released by Nielsen yesterday, the game averaged 13.76 million viewers, marking the sixth time this season that TNF on Prime has attracted an audience greater than 13 million. Season to date, TNF on Prime is averaging 14.26 million viewers. Looking forward to this week’s matchup between the Houston Texans and the New York Jets!
