CoinVoice has recently learned that according to Decrypt, retired NFL Carolina Panthers player Russell Okung announced on Thursday that he hopes to ensure that his newly formed flag football league Bitball can pay its players in Bitcoin.
Okung revealed in an interview that he envisions a league in which players can earn Bitcoin, fans can own real shares, and the community can build wealth.
Okung added: “No more middlemen taking a cut or backroom deals, now it’s pure sports and pure Bitcoin, which means pure opportunity. That’s what I’m building – a new league.” [Original link]
