Totalitarian regimes could learn a thing or two from the NFL.
The league is the most powerful entity in this country — sorry, D.C. politicians, but you know it’s true — and everyone wants a piece of it. Broadcasters. Sponsors. Vendors. Companies that make merchandise. Companies that sell merchandise. And on and on.
The NFL knows this. It also knows it can use that power to shut down what little criticism there is of the league.
The NFL and Front Office Sports announced a content licensing deal on Tuesday that will give the sports business site access, and privilege, other media outlets won’t have. FOS will be able to go behind-the-scenes at major events such as the Super Bowl, NFL draft and international games, and publish these pieces with the official blessing of the NFL.
“We’re excited to collaborate with the NFL and expand our access to the country’s most popular league,” Adam White, chief executive officer of Front Office Sports, said in a release announcing the partnership.
