With the NFL season is officially underway, the Atlanta Blockchain Center is diving into one of the biggest crossovers between sports and Web3: athletes choosing to get paid in crypto.
From Russell Okung’s groundbreaking move to Odell Beckham Jr., Aaron Rodgers, and others, NFL players have sparked global conversation about the future of contracts, crypto salaries, and financial freedom on the gridiron.
This week at Off The Chain Thursday, we’ll break down how crypto is reshaping sports economics—not just in the NFL, but across leagues. We’ll explore what it means when players convert salaries into Bitcoin or fan tokens, how fan engagement is evolving through tokenized experiences, and how gaming and digital collectibles are creating new economies for superfans.
Whether you’re an NFL diehard, a crypto enthusiast, or just curious about the intersection of sports, money, and culture, this discussion will give you fresh insights into how blockchain is changing the playbook.
