I'm a huge fan of fantasy sports. Yesterday I started to think if there's any project on the Hive community for a fantasy league.
The closest thing I know is Rabona, but it's not quite it. Does anyone know if there are any projects, either launched or in development, of that kind?

I think SPORTS could have a great future. Right now I think there is a lot of crossover from Leo to Sports and with everything happening in Leo right now, its taken a little bit of a back seat. Once Leo calms down some on airdrops and launches then I think the activity in sports will pick up. Its a good time to accumulate some right now, IMO.

SPORTS has amazing potential, I thought that from the start. However, the lack of change has me concerned. I know there are some changes taking place, we will see how they pan out.
The market is there. They also need to isolate the focus some in terms of fans. People are not fans of sports per se but of teams. If you could isolate Raider or Real Madrid fans, then I think there could be something huge.

Yes, I agree. If you could create a structure like an ESPN website or CBSsports website where people could go and just focus on their favorite teams, that could become very powerful. Especially if they can get paid just to talk about what they love to talk about anyway. As always, onboarding will be key. But you have to have a place for them to want to go when they get there. Still very early, obviously but...things to think about.

I think you have to start with an image in mind. I often suggested that for SPORTS. Model yourself after ESPN but tokenized. That is a good starting point. After that, you can move onto other things and adapt but that gives a direction.
Sadly, it seems the direction is not there.

Yes, that's what I was thinking. There needs to be a "home page" where people can catch the headlines and then move to their particular areas of interest. Sports talk is obviously a massive market but, until you get some content that people care about, it's going to be difficult to draw eyeballs. The other challenge is that news is "old" in 24 hours. Unless you've got fresh, up to date, writing coming on, there's no reason to go there.
I mean, I have a hard time even finding three articles to curate some days. Unless some Actifit headline catches my eye for some reason, there really isn't much there. Like I said, hopefully as Leo blazes a trail and makes inroads into the mainstream, more people will onboard and it can get some development help. As with anything, if you can create a little excitement, that can go a long way.

One of the overlooked features on all these tribes is as a data aggregator.
Give people a reason to return each day. With Sports, having standings, scores, and stats is vital. On Leo, I dont know why there arent stock and crypto quotes.
All of that drives traffic because the site becomes a reference point.

That's a great idea. I'm sure it's probably heavy on bandwidth though, right? I guess I'm not sure how that all works but I would think it would be more labor/cost intensive than it looks.

I'm hopeful on the long run, we'll have these begin to pick up. At the moment, they're trying to figure out ads and ads revenue.

The change is slow perhaps because the head is not very tech and developemnt savvy like we can say of LEO's khal or Jongolson of CTP. Soon, things would level up. I've succeeded in having a developer get more interested and he's getting more involved than ever.

You really understand the tokenomics. it's real true. With pools coming to H-E, the future of SPORTS is bright at least with the much liquidity it has.

Not to my knowledge. Rabona is the only one that I currently know of with sports involved. I think there was some discussions by some sports community members but it was just an idea. They did mention that were open to funding it and using it as a SPORTS sink. However this is probably going to have to wait till something more concrete is in.

SPORTS isn't involved with Rabona. The deal didn't go out successful. Let's see what happens when Rabona begins to take collaborations.

Nothing I know about. Formulate your idea and start on it. In fact, if you want, contact @silverstackeruk about it. SPInvest is investing some in tribes to help with the token creation cost and set up.
They are sort of acting as a Venture Capitalist if you will.
Perhaps your idea will hold interest there.

I actually have an idea about a token ( not a tribe , just a token ) . I have talked to @silverstackeruk before , very supportive . I am just thinking of completely formulating the idea before going forward.

This a good. I am talking to someone else about, perhaps, another tribe. This is what needs to be done. All of us can start to generate ideas that can help not only this place, but give others opportunities to others for bag growth.
It is what this is all about. The more we can get into the hands of different people, the better it is for all of us.

I agree . The amount of opportunities here on Hive is insane for a creative person to be honest. I right now spend around 3 hours here but I really want to put more time because this can turn my life around.

I don't think there's any for now. Maybe you can facilitate the creation of one. The SPORTS ecosystem is still very virgin.
