[imagine-knb]

Can I request how GoM+Rakuzan would react to Akashi having an older sister figure/older female cousin who treats him like any younger brother (bullies him a lot, defends him from others, fusses over his stupid bangs)? I was thinking someone like Kobayashi Rindō from Shokugeki no Soma.

I can't believe my favorite blog ever is alive again 😭 miracles do happen!

A/N: Not me literally having to go through all my old posts just to figure out how to write for the Rakuzan boys again... Admin Neon

Kuroko: Somehow your presence always managed to make Akashi seem more human – more like an average teenager, rather than the athletic monster he was. Kuroko couldn’t decide whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

But then, one day, you had stared at the both of them side by side, your eyes widening by a fraction as your gaze bounced between red and blue hair. “You guys look pretty similar,” you commented, walking up to the both of them to ruffle their hair simultaneously. The force behind your hand nearly knocked Kuroko to the ground.

Being compared to Akashi was annoying. From that day forward, Kuroko decided that your presence was a bad thing.

Kise: Due to your familial relationship with him, picking on Akashi was easy. But picking on Kise was even easier.

“Akashicchi, ____-san is being mean to me again,” Kise whined, doing his best to hide behind the shorter male. It did nothing to deter you from shooting a devilish grin in his direction. “Look! She looks like she’s enjoying bullying me!”

In reality, Kise should have been the one to handle your teasing remarks best; he had older sisters after all. But in actuality, he often found himself scampering away from your relentlessness. If this is what he had to deal with on the rare occasion you followed Akashi to the gymnasium, he felt sorry for the redheaded male over what he had to deal with back home.

Aomine: You ticked Aomine off to no end. The first time you’d yanked at his ear, telling him off for ignoring one of Akashi’s requests, he swore he’d find a way to get the best of you. It didn’t matter to him that you were a girl. It didn’t matter to him that you were his senior. He wanted to wipe that aggravating sneer off your face.

“You better actually be listening and not sleeping during practice,” you had nagged one day, despite the fact Akashi had told you your reprimand wasn’t required. “Or else you’re gunna have hell to pay for ignoring Seijurou like that.”

He’d called you an old hag in response, an insult that had you yanking on his ear harder in anger. That ticked off feeling he often had while you were around? Yeah, that was mutual now.

Midorima: The first time you had been introduced to Midorima, he had been playing a game of shogi with Akashi. You’d walked up behind the Rakuzan captain, ruffling his hair like he was just a small child. The fact that Akashi had let you, simply fixing the strands after your hand left his head, had Midorima in mild shock.

Then you moved on to ruffling Midorima’s hair, the action so strong that it had knocked his glasses off kilter. From that point forward, he did his best not to be in your immediate vicinity, irked by your brash actions.

And you did your best to always seek him out in a crowd, adding Akashi’s green haired friend to your ever growing list of teenagers to annoy.

Murasakibara: He’d seen the way you fussed over Akashi, making sure he was well hydrated throughout practice and that nothing was ailing him. It was like he was a baby and you were a doting mother. That comment, accidentally said out loud, had earned Murasakibara the ire of Akashi for several weeks and had earned you a spot of Murasakibara’s shit list.

Then one day you had sat beside him on the courtside bench, a long strip of sugary fruit leather dangling from your lips and even more tucked neatly away in a plastic bag. He stared – he stared a lot – and imagined the way those sugary crystals would taste on his tongue.

When you lifted the bag in his direction, silently offering him one without tearing your eyes away from the court, Murasakibara decided that you weren’t all that bad.

Akashi: You were his family, his flesh and blood, his confidant. And as those things, he had an obligation to himself to love you. But that didn’t mean you couldn’t annoy the heck out of him.

He didn’t favor your more rambunctious moods, finding them unbecoming and more than a little aggravating, especially when they were at his own expense. Not that anyone else could ever tell he was in a sour mood behind his well practiced smile.

It was the other days that always had Akashi viewing you through a different light. When you backed up something he’d say or stand up to a stranger who had so much as looked at him wrong, he was reminded that your bond was something more than irksome teasing. And he was reminded that it wasn’t actually out of obligation; he actually did love you.

Mibuchi: Out of everyone, Mibuchi seemed to be the one teammate you could get along with the best. His maturity and tendency to treat Akashi well and with respect had him on your good side almost immediately. More often than not, it was actually Mibuchi who was defending Akashi from you while you attempted to smother and dote on him.

“____-san, I think Akashi’s hair looks fine today. It’s probably best it looks natural for now,” he commented as you fussed over the redhead’s bangs, brushing them out of his eyes with your hand. They were taking pictures for a local magazine that day.

“It’ll look fine when I say it’s fine,” you retort, ignoring the way Akashi seemed to stare into your soul with contempt as you gelled back his strays.

Nebuya: There were two things you had in common with Nebuya, the first being your deep respect for Akashi and the second being the boisterous way you both seemed to fill the air with your laughter. It made it easy for him to get along with you, so he often found himself looking forward to your arrival when Akashi announced you’d be visiting for some time.

Though he often found himself conflicted when the source of your laughter was a teasing remark thrown in Akashi’s direction. They never seemed to fluster the Rakuzan captain, but they sure as hell made Nebuya think twice before he laughed along with you.

Sometimes he wondered if you were purposefully trying to get him in trouble every time you tried to rope him into one of your mischievous moods.

Hayama: “Oh, come on, it’s okay to laugh!” You slapped a hand onto Hayama’s shoulder, a grin thrown in his direction. You had just made a joke – at Akashi’s expense – and honestly, Hayama had found it hilarious.

There was just one problem with that: the pointed look that Akashi was giving him said that if Hayama dared to so much as chuckle, he’d be finding himself doing solo laps around the court.

Hayama both loved and hated whenever you were around. Loved, because it was funny seeing someone tease Akashi relentlessly without finding themselves as the bottom of a ditch. Hated, because it was almost always guaranteed he would be doing extra workouts when he inevitably began guffawing at your jokes.

Mayuzumi: It was hard to tell behind the blank stare Mayuzumi had on his face most of the time, but he found great amusement in the way you treated Akashi. It felt like you were knocking him down a peg, even if the redhead barely gave you any indication of his annoyance. It was like he was nothing but a simple a child to you – and to you, Mayuzumi was right.

“Wait, hold on Seijurou, you have something on your cheek.” When you licked at your thumb before swiping the digit across Akashi’s skin, Mayuzumi swore he almost broke.

He had to avert his gaze quickly, knowing that Akashi would sense he was staring and would likely return the look with a menacing one of his own. But still… When he stole a second glance and saw you now pinching Akashi’s cheeks, he had to walk away to hide a snicker.

knowing that the 22nd is near wants me to sob so much. can’t believe they are taking him away from us 🥺 i am so sad..

can’t believe this was him manspreading sitting on a bench watching an nba game a year ago. still is my favorite picture of him. i can’t dissociate him from nba now on.

can’t believe he was MIA for almost a month and came back with a live for us saying goodbyes and to reassure us that future’s gonna be okay and promises us once again that we will see them in 2025 as a whole family.

do you believe me when i said i will reread 3tan to confort me? you know when i think about yoongi i always go back to your blog. fuck i already miss him and his precious hair and gummy smile actually all of him

ryen your future updates will surely be killing me bit by bit ☹️

oh babe😭😭 you can always come around if you’re missing yoongi. there’s an abundance of him around here and in 3tan<33

seeing him courtside was such a surreal experience to me! i stayed up so damn late watching the game (granted, the warriors are my team, so it was entertaining anyway). what a time.. it feels like a fever dream now.

we will be okay! it’s awhile, but even with jin’s time it feels like we’re about to see him back already hahaha. time will pass and we’ll try our best to stay healthy for 2025 reunion🫂

It was a girls' night out, and RM was being cheeky with her stories, that's all. Photos have already bern posted on the other blog of the two girls sitting courtside together with no sign of TH. Nothing too deep or newsworthy.//yes I got that after I posted the first one. I was too quick to post before posted a second

-

[thisisyourprincipalspeaking]

I don’t know whether you will post this but the main issue with a lot of Hollyweird BS is the agencies.

Check who P Diddy signed with in 2011, CAA!

CAA are behind a lot of the BS in Hollywood and they are know n as the mafia of Hollywood.

CAA are behind a lot of criminal offences such as trafficking, drugs, prostitution.

They covered up the Weinstein scandal and now they are probably behind the downfall of P Diddy who’s worse than Epstein and more name will come out and a lot of people will be surprised or know as it’s been a long time coming!

Hollywood is about to burn and change and our generation will see the effects of the fallout and realise we have been sold a BS sorry for a lot of created PR relationships in Hollywood.

Chris is signed to CAA and no doubt he’s been caught up in some BS or fucking around with someone he should’t have!

People need to look into this deeper as CAA are the bad guys not Chris he’s just a pawn in all of this.

CAA needs to be called out for all this shit they push on people and I am all for seeing them burn!

Aim your anger at CAA people not Chris as he’s just a number on their books!

Call them out Principle as I know you are impartial and post people opinions but those with a brain of us who works in the industry knows how evil CAA are!

here's the thing:

i'm not going to pretend that caa is unproblematic. that's just not the case. but just as caa is responsible for their part in any/all scandals, real and manufactured, so are miramax, disney, nbc, dreamworks, and any other entertainment corporation which turned a blind eye, covered up the muddy tracks of scandal, and perpetuated the bullshit hollywood facade we've all witnessed for years.

their culpability doesn't negate the responsibility of the talent, either. actors, musicians, and celebs of all flavors have their hands just as dirty. yes, i agree that many celebs are pawns in the grand scheme of things. but two things can be true at the same time. additionally, i would venture the assumption that a good percentage of celebrities enjoy the game of showmances for publicity. generally speaking, most of these pr rs couplings are harmless, short-lived, easy, and fulfill their purpose. the work isn't usually demanding or terribly time-consuming and gets the celebrities involved gossip headlines, a bit of attention, extra clicks, and a boost in analytics. play the game for a few pap shots while sitting courtside at a knicks game or leaving dinner at nobu for a couple of weeks then silently part ways like nothing happened.

i will always hold chris responsible for his part in all that we've witnessed in the past couple of years. he's an adult, he's not new to hollywood at all, and he certainly played into the role for the past decade of cultivating his image to then show himself as the same cliche as every other celebrity out there. he knew what he was doing then, and he knows what he is doing now.

he made his choices. sometimes the choice is between shit and sprinkle-covered shit. but they're no less his.

(i will not be comparing and contrasting this whatever shitshow with ce and his wife and their friends to the very real and very disgusting horrors that decades of his victims have endured from p.diddy. there is absolutely nothing similar except that it's all part of the smoke and mirrors of the hollywood machine therefore this blog will not entertain any parallels drawn between the two situations.)

Title: Navigating the Future of Sports Management: Embracing Digital Transformation and Fan Engagement Strategies

Kalisa Davis Full Sail University

In an era where technology continuously reshapes industries, sports management is no exception. The convergence of digital innovation with traditional sports practices has ushered in new opportunities and challenges. This blog post explores how sports management professionals can navigate this evolving landscape by focusing on digital transformation, fan engagement strategies, and emerging trends that are redefining the industry.

The Digital Revolution in Sports Management

Digital transformation is not merely a buzzword; it's a critical component of modern sports management. As sports organizations increasingly adopt technology to enhance operations and fan experiences, the benefits of digital innovation become evident.

1. Data Analytics and Performance Optimization

Data analytics has become a cornerstone of sports management, offering insights that drive decision-making and enhance performance. Teams and organizations leverage advanced analytics to analyze player performance, predict injury risks, and strategize game plans. According to a study by Deloitte, 89% of sports organizations are using data analytics to improve their decision-making processes1. Technologies such as player tracking systems and wearable devices provide real-time data that allows coaches and managers to make informed decisions.

For instance, the NBA's use of player tracking data has transformed how teams evaluate player efficiency and game strategy. The league's partnership with Second Spectrum has enabled coaches to access detailed analytics on player movements and game dynamics, leading to more strategic decisions and improved performance on the court2.

2. Fan Experience Enhancement

The digital era has transformed how fans interact with sports. Enhanced fan experiences, driven by technology, are now a significant focus for sports organizations. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have been integrated into sports arenas and broadcasts to create immersive experiences3. The NBA's implementation of VR for virtual courtside seats allows fans to experience games from unique perspectives, enhancing engagement and satisfaction.

Furthermore, the integration of AR into stadiums, such as the New York Yankees' use of AR for interactive fan experiences, allows spectators to access additional content and information during games. This technology not only enriches the live experience but also provides new revenue streams through partnerships and sponsorships4.

3. Social Media and Digital Marketing

Social media platforms have become vital tools for sports marketing and fan engagement. According to a report by PwC, 83% of sports fans prefer to follow their favorite teams and athletes on social media5. Effective use of social media can boost brand visibility, increase fan interaction, and drive revenue through targeted marketing campaigns.

For example, the NFL’s use of Twitter to provide real-time updates and behind-the-scenes content has significantly increased fan engagement. The NFL’s strategy includes leveraging influencers and athletes to create buzz and drive engagement, illustrating the power of social media in modern sports marketing6.

The Role of Fan Engagement in Modern Sports Management

Fan engagement has evolved from a passive to an interactive experience. Modern sports organizations are investing heavily in strategies that foster deeper connections with their audiences.

1. Personalized Content and Experiences

Personalization is key to enhancing fan engagement. By leveraging data analytics, sports organizations can tailor content and experiences to individual preferences. For example, the New York Knicks have used data to create personalized marketing campaigns, resulting in a 25% increase in ticket sales7. Personalized content, such as targeted promotions and customized newsletters, helps build stronger relationships with fans.

Moreover, the use of predictive analytics allows teams to anticipate fan preferences and behavior, leading to more effective marketing strategies and improved fan satisfaction. Personalized experiences not only enhance fan loyalty but also drive revenue through targeted promotions and offers.

2. Mobile Apps and Digital Platforms

Mobile apps have become central to fan engagement strategies. Teams and leagues are developing apps that offer features such as live game updates, ticket purchasing, and interactive content. The Manchester City FC app, for instance, provides fans with real-time match commentary, player stats, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content8. These apps not only enhance the fan experience but also offer opportunities for revenue generation through in-app purchases and advertising.

Additionally, the integration of features such as mobile ticketing and loyalty programs within apps enhances convenience and incentivizes repeat attendance. Sports organizations are also exploring the use of blockchain technology to create secure and transparent ticketing systems, further improving the fan experience9.

3. Community and Social Responsibility

Sports organizations are increasingly focusing on community engagement and social responsibility. Initiatives such as charity events, youth programs, and environmental sustainability efforts resonate with fans and enhance the organization’s brand image. The NBA’s Social Responsibility programs, including its Basketball Without Borders initiative, demonstrate how sports organizations can leverage their platforms for positive social impact10. These efforts not only build goodwill but also foster a loyal fan base.

Community engagement programs that address social issues and promote positive change can strengthen the bond between sports organizations and their communities. By aligning with fans' values and interests, sports teams can create meaningful connections and enhance their brand reputation.

Emerging Trends in Sports Management

As technology continues to evolve, several emerging trends are shaping the future of sports management.

1. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are revolutionizing sports management by providing advanced predictive analytics and enhancing decision-making processes. AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and make predictions about player performance, injury risks, and game outcomes11. Teams are increasingly adopting AI technologies to gain a competitive edge and optimize their operations.

AI-powered tools are also being used to enhance fan experiences, such as chatbots that provide instant customer support and personalized recommendations based on fan behavior. These technologies improve efficiency and customer satisfaction, contributing to overall success in sports management.

2. Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology is gaining traction in sports management for its potential to enhance transparency and security. Blockchain can be used for ticketing systems, ensuring authenticity and preventing fraud. Additionally, it offers opportunities for fan engagement through digital collectibles and fan tokens. For example, the Barcelona Football Club has explored the use of blockchain for fan engagement through its Socios.com platform12.

Blockchain’s decentralized nature ensures that transactions are secure and transparent, reducing the risk of fraud and enhancing trust among fans and stakeholders. The integration of blockchain in sports management opens new possibilities for fan interaction and revenue generation.

3. E-Sports and Digital Competitions

The rise of e-sports represents a significant shift in the sports industry. E-sports competitions attract millions of viewers and offer new revenue streams for sports organizations. Traditional sports leagues, such as the NFL and NBA, are investing in e-sports and digital competitions to tap into this growing market13. As e-sports continue to gain popularity, sports management professionals must adapt their strategies to include digital gaming and virtual competitions.

E-sports provides opportunities for cross-promotions with traditional sports and engages younger audiences who are avid gamers. By incorporating e-sports into their portfolios, sports organizations can diversify their offerings and reach new demographics.

Conclusion

The landscape of sports management is rapidly evolving, driven by digital transformation and changing fan expectations. Embracing data analytics, enhancing fan experiences through technology, and staying abreast of emerging trends are crucial for success in this dynamic industry. By leveraging digital tools and innovative strategies, sports organizations can create more meaningful connections with fans, drive revenue, and stay ahead of the competition.

As sports management continues to evolve, professionals must remain adaptable and forward-thinking. By prioritizing digital transformation and focusing on fan engagement, sports organizations can navigate the future of sports management and unlock new opportunities for growth and success.

Anthony’s Stupid Daily Blog (412): Wed 3rd May 2023

The Lakers beat The Warriors in a closely contested game last night. There was a funny moment towards the end where Dennis Schroder attempted to block one of the Warriors shooting for a three pointer by leaping through the air flailing his arms like Antonio Banderas at the end of the SpongeBob Movie. The real highlight of this game was the return of the great Jack Nicholson to courtside. Jack has been a regular Lakers supported for nearly 40 years but he hasn't been seen courtside since 2021, raising fears among some that he may have been ill and unable to leave the house. They gave him a nice tribute, playing several clips from his movies before revealing him to the welcoming Crypto.com arena crowd (Still feels so surreal that I was just in this very building just over a month ago watching the Lakers myself. Feels like a God damn lifetime ago now).

I bought a ticket to see KISS in Newcastle. I originally went to see these legends of rock in 2018. They were set to play a gig in Manchester but a week prior to this the infamous bombing took place at the Ariana Grande concert. I thought about leaving it and waiting until the next time they played the UK but after realizing that there might not be a next time I reluctantly bought tickets to their next show on the tour at the O2 in London. The gig was great but marred by the fact that it took a long time to get there and I had spent a shitload of extra money on two Kiss gigs and only went to one. This time around it should be much more enjoyable because the gig will be taking place on my day off and the location is only a half hour train ride from my house. I won't be wearing the facepaint however because I don't relish the thought of being on the Metro looking like The Demon, and since I'm rocking a mutton chop's beard at the moment it would be quite hard to get the facepaint on anyway.

Part 2: Oh, interesting, RM posted after saying she was on a date night, a repost from CS saying that’s her date. Interesting.//

It was a girls' night out, and RM was being cheeky with her stories, that's all. Photos have already bern posted on the other blog of the two girls sitting courtside together with no sign of TH. Nothing too deep or newsworthy.
