So, with the increased popularity of Bitcoin among investors and sports enthusiasts some professional sports teams and athletes have landed crypto sponsorship's which I think is a great way of spreading the word about the crypto revolution worldwide. Elite sports leagues have a huge fan base and attract millions of viewers every year so the crypto industry as a whole can reach a lot of prospective crypto users all over the world. For example, football is probably the most popular sport in the world and the Premier League is one of the most watched championships and a Polish crypto-currency exchange Coin-Deal has opted to become jersey sponsors of the newly promoted club Wolverhampton Wanderers. Arsenal signed a deal with US crypto-currency gaming platform Cash-Bet Coin in January, too.
Some professional players are promoting crypto projects as well. Lionel Messi is advertising the world's first mass-produced blockchain phone,
James Rodriguez has issued his own crypto-currency asset, and Eden Hazard and Sergio Guerrero endorse a company making a sports industry block-chain. I don't think that they have the ability to match the money that is coming in from the traditional sponsors which are going to be the auto companies, financial sector, etc and so on and so forth. If the profitability is there, and these companies are able to match the funds which these other sponsors are giving out. I don't think this is going to be possible for crypto companies, as they don't have the type of profit during this growth stage to be able to match these other companies. So no, I don't think it's going to happen -- and if it does I don't see it having an impact.
