Full Story

Alright, get this...

The NFL Alumni Association is helping veteran players earn extra cash, by helping them launch collectible ​NFTs​.

Which sounds weird at first glance...but here's the thing:

Sure, each NFL player's name and likeness is valuable to some degree.

But not every retired player has a team of agents and managers working to get their face plastered on cereal boxes and across TV commercials.

By launching NFTs depicting on-field moments from retired players, the NFL Alumni Association can generate income for them.

Which is cool! But why NFTs?

Simply put: they're low lift! Nothing needs to be printed, shipped, or stored.

In fact, once the NFT's design is decided upon and uploaded to a marketplace, everything else is pretty much on auto-pilot.

Meaning players can reach/sell to millions of fans, all within a few clicks! All while royalty splits are automatically paid out to the respective parties, after each initial and subsequent sale.

​Web3​ technology being used to lower the barrier to entry to a global market?

We love to see it!
