Requests (5/23/2021)
Hi lovelies! I’ve been getting so many requests & I’m working hard to get all of them in the queue. Thanks for sending them my way! I’m writing to let you know that the queue is now full until the end of June. I was able to get every requests from my May 8th post in there except for a few. Requests from May 8th for captions featuring Katy Perry, Jenna Fischer, Marisol Nichols, Addison Rae, Ariana Grande, Erin Kellyman, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Jhene Aiko, & Kirstin Maldonado will be posted in early July.
But there have been an absolute ton of requests since then too, yay! So I’m listing all the requests that I haven’t gotten to below. If you made a request but don’t see it below that might be for a few reasons. 1) I’ve written it already and it will be posted in June. 2) It’s one of the requests I posted on May 8th so I won’t talk about it here. 3) I considered it a demand not a request (for example, I received two that said “Anything with,” that wasn’t really a request just telling me to do it. Sorry if this bothers some of you but it is an issue with me so make sure you word your requests AS requests). Either way, thanks for the love, lovelies! :D

Could you do one with either Kelley O’hara or Alex Morgan from the USWNT about a guy soccer player watching the US win the world cup and then want to be them or something like that?

Hi I just had an idea for a game you could do. It could be where someone has to say as a boy what they’re like physically in stages. So first stage is hair color for example, second stage could be height, third stage could be body type, etc. An example would be if I was a black hair, short height, thick body type, I would match up with someone like Nicki Minaj. Just an idea which you could extend on. Hopefully it makes sense. I appreciate you!
I actually have a game like this mapped out called “Build a Sissy” where you choose age, hair color, and bra size, but it would take a LOT of work to make so I haven’t written it yet. Maybe some day though. :)

I already know that this request is probably gonna be a No but I still have to ask whats the ruling on GCI enhanced celebrities like Taylor swift from Cats? Or is that too much like "Furry" stuff. Now I'm Feeling this will be a No for multiple reasons
So it is not an issue with CGI “enhanced” celebrities but for Cats it is because I do not have a Furry fetish and I get uncomfortable thinking about writing caps for it. But I write caps with “manips” all the time (photoshopped images of celebs) so I’m not ruling out CGI enhanced celebs all together.

Hi big fan and I think you’ve been doing amazing work. Is there anyway you could do a story about a guy who loses a bet to sorority girl and is forced to get his nails painted and turned into a girl? I love the idea of having a boys nails painted against his will. I’d love one with Selena Gomez but if you think another celeb would be better I leave that cumpletely to you.
Totally! This sounds fun. :D

Hey huge fan of your recent work and super excited about new caps!! Do you think you could do one about a college guy who drops out in pursuit of being a stand up comedian, but the comedy club needs a female comic so they turn him into a girl? I was thinking maybe Nikki Glaser, she so funny and sexy. Thanks can’t wait to see all your new stuff!!
Oooo, Nikki Glaser is great. Sure thing!

Hi Me again on the topic of the assembly line worker caption sequel if you do it i just an idea for the story like before depicting the sissies "first time" but you can have it be that the coworker doesnt know and is telling everyone about the chick he slept with last night and the sissy is just thinking "if only they knew"idk i thought it was good anyways thank u again
So this message is in reference to a sequel caption that was requested & that I did write and will be posted in June. I’m sharing it here to let the anon know that I wrote the cap BEFORE I got this second request so there will be a followup but the story will be different. I hope that’s ok.

Hi big fan of your caps!! Do you think you could do a cap where a football player wants to go to the NFL but gets hurt, so they turn him into a female commentator, maybe Lauren Rutledge? If you don’t know her, she’s been a college football reporter for awhile and was also a former Miss Florida. Anyways I just think any guy would be lucky to be turned into her and I love your caps keep up the great work!!
Me: *googles Lauren Rutledge to see if it’s who I’m thinking of* How do I know who this is? Anyways, yes I can write this. :)
...for some reason there are no GIFs of her though so I’m just gonna move on.

Hi I'm the one that requested the LONG list of celebs I'm still really sorry about that I didnt realize how many it actually was till I looked back so I wanna retract some for your sake tell ya what if you havent done any already just do the ones that are specifically marked (as in the ones detailed by movie or show theyre in) the ones that are just names you can leave out i knoe its still alot but hopefully that takes some weight off of ya sorry again
You don’t have to be sorry! Like I said, in the future I’d ask that folks limit requests to no more than 3 celebs at a time but you didn’t know that. I’d never said that before. I typed up every celebrity and they’re going to be sprinkled in during June. Hope you like them! :)

Hello ^^ I love your work. Can u make a caption with the name "jules" and Ariana Grande please? Thank you
Sure thing!

Hey, not really an ask, but something I needed to share
I'm the one that asked for the Stephanie Beatriz caption from a whole back, and I absolutely loved how it turned out. Each time you roll out a new caption is like a small thrill to me and I read them right as they're released.
Now this wouldn't be an ask if I wasn't asking something, right? Well, next month sees the release of the "In the Heights" movie, and there's an opportunity there to do a series of captions using stephanie Beatriz from that same movie.
In conclusion, I love your captions so much, you're amazing!
Awww, this is such a sweet message. Thank you! And YAAASSSSS! Ever since the first trailer for In the Heights dropped I was like, “I must write a caption with her in this!” So you can imagine how fun it’s been waiting this entire time. *eye twitches*. We’ll have to wait until the movie comes out for me to be sure I can find a good image but this IS a caption I want to write. :)

Hi I just recently came across your blog and fell in love with it!! The caption with the football player being turned into Bella Thorne is one of my favorites!! I’d love so much if you could do a sequel or something to that cap it was so amazing and I need to know what else happens to “her”. I’m not sure if this is possible or if you even do sequels but this cap was great and I look forward to all the others!!!
Glad you like it! I’m always looking for sequel captions to write on Throwback Thursday so you’ll get this for sure. :)

How about instead of removing the captions with Demi in them ,the images of Demi were just replaced with another celeb and if Demi is mentioned by name in the caption then that could be edited to mention a different celeb. I respect Demi's decision I do but lets not lose some well made captions. Also if you could please make a caption where Amy Adams feminises a fan and raises them as her daughter and Kristen Stewart makes you her submissive wife that would be appreciated. I'm a fan of them.
So about the Demi Lovato captions: I understand your feelings but I’m still going to delete the original captions. Because of how my captions are made I can’t just go back in & swap out an image or edit the text, I have to remake it from the ground up. I am hoping to do that with some (maybe all) of the Demi Lovato captions & re-publish them, but I’m still going to delete the originals.
I can do the Kristen Stewart one for sure and I’ll TRY to do the Amy Adams one I just am not 100% sure I can find a pic for that but we’ll see. :)

If it’s possible before your summer hiatus could you do a caption with Amanda Crew (silicon valley, sex drive)?
I will do one with Amanda Crew but I can’t commit to doing it before the hiatus.
About the hiatus: I don’t know when it’s going to be. I want to TRY to make it to at least July 18th because I have a specific game in mind I want to post for 5 years of Celebrity TG Captions games, but after that I have no idea. I’ve been writing caps for a longer stretch of time since normal since I’ve switched to a part-time blog so I might burn out at any second but for right now I’ve still got some juice.

A 2019 Browns timeline, from playoff hype to train wreck
Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham Jr. haven’t lived up to their lofty expectations.
The Browns couldn’t handle the weight of expectation.
The Cleveland Browns haven’t been to the playoffs since 2002. They will be the only team to finish the entire 2010s decade without a single winning season. It really shouldn’t be surprising that a team defined by ineptitude had a rough season.
But 2019 was supposed to be different.
The Browns were a Super Bowl favorite. After trading for three-time Pro Bowl receiver Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland had 14-1 odds to win its first ever Lombardi Trophy. Only four teams — the Patriots, Chiefs, Saints, and Rams — were given a better chance by oddsmakers. Bets on the Browns poured in.
Those expectations turned out to be too a heavy burden for the Browns to bear. First-year head coach Freddie Kitchens has struggled to deal with the pressure that comes with a talented roster. Browns players haven’t done well handling the frustration that comes with not stringing together wins.
How did all go wrong?
Cleveland’s 2019 season has been a slow-moving train wreck that keeps getting worse as the calendar approaches its end. Here’s all the dysfunction of the Browns in 2019, with the latest drama right at the top:
Dec. 18: Beckham and Landry deny reports that they’ve asked to be rescued
There have been reports of Beckham telling multiple teams to “come get him” out of Cleveland. According to NFL Network reporter Mike Silver, the problem runs much deeper than just one player.
More fallout from the Jarvis Landry tirade during the Browns-Cardinals game: I'm told by two sources that before the game ended, 'multiple' Browns players yelled at the Arizona sideline to 'come get me'--asking to come play for the Cardinals. Landry, I'm told, was one of them.
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) December 16, 2019
The Arizona Cardinals are a four-win team in last place in the NFC West. It says a lot if multiple Browns players would rather play there instead of Cleveland.
Jarvis Landry disputed the report, though.
#Browns WR Jarvis Landry vehemently denied NFL Network report that stated he told #AZCardinals sideline “come get me.” Landry said he would never do that and the accusation bothers him.
— Nate Ulrich (@ByNateUlrich) December 18, 2019
Beckham also pushed back against talks of him wanting out. He told reporters he plans on being a member of the Browns for the foreseeable future.
Odell Beckham Jr. on the future: “I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be here.” Said “it’s too special” and he wants to see things through with the Browns.
— PatMcManamon (@PatMcManamon) December 18, 2019
Beckham signed a five-year, $90 million contract extension with the Giants, but played just one season under that deal before he was traded to the Browns. Now Cleveland has Beckham under contract until after the 2023 season. The Browns can keep Beckham in Cleveland for several years, whether he actually wants to be there or not.
Dec. 15: Landry and Kitchens hash it out in a sideline spat
The tirade that sparked rumors of Landry wanting out came during the Browns’ 38-24 loss to the Cardinals. The receiver was seen having a not-so-friendly conversation with Kitchens on the sideline.
#Browns Jarvis Landry voicing some...umm...frustration with Freddie Kitchens. pic.twitter.com/tFtEkHDFyC
— Jon Doss (@JonDoss) December 15, 2019
It doesn’t take an expert lip reader to determine Landry wasn’t telling Kitchens he’s doing a great job. Landry later said he “asked for the ball to try to get involved in the game to help.”
Hours before that costly Week 15 loss, NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport said Kitchens’ job is probably safe:
But as of right now, barring a horrific collapse or circumstance to end the season, it appears the Browns will be moving forward with Kitchens.
The Browns’ playoff hopes were probably toast, regardless. A loss to the Cardinals pushed Cleveland into need-a-miracle territory. It remains to see if that counts as “a horrific collapse or circumstance.”
Dec. 11: Rashard Higgins laughs off Kitchens keeping him off the field
Kitchens defended the lack of snaps for Rashard Higgins, by telling reporters that the Browns receiver didn’t give the team its best chance to win.
#Browns HC Freddie Kitchens on limited snaps for WR Rashard Higgins this past week: "We try to play the players that give us the best chance to win each and every week...and that's strictly a week-to-week thing."
— Keith Britton (@KeithBritton86) December 11, 2019
Higgins has just four receptions on the year after breaking out as a reliable target for Baker Mayfield in 2018. He finished that season with 572 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Higgins seemingly responded to Kitchens’ comments with a tweet later that day.
— Wood (@CALLME_WOOD) December 11, 2019
Higgins is due to become a free agent after the 2019 season.
Dec. 8: A report says Beckham is trying to get traded
Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reported that Beckham has made it known he wants out of Cleveland.
Does Odell Beckham Jr. really want out of Cleveland? @JayGlazer has the latest: pic.twitter.com/5XEDYj6Iba
— FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) December 8, 2019
“Odell Beckham has actually told other players and coaches before games and during games ‘Hey, come get me, come get me,’” Glazer says. “I don’t see that relationship ending well for them after this year.”
That report came two days after Beckham insisted on Twitter that he isn’t looking to get out Cleveland.
Ok ... I NEVER said I was not happy in Cleveland, just like everyone else I’m hopeful for better results. Period. Next story plzz ...
— Odell Beckham Jr (@obj) December 6, 2019
Rapoport reported that Beckham has been playing through a sports hernia that will require offseason surgery to repair. Mayfield told reporters that the injury “wasn’t handled right.” He immediately backtracked from that comments and tweeted that he didn’t mean to throw the team’s medical staff under the bus.
Nov. 30: A starting safety is mysteriously held out for a key game
Browns safety Damarious Randall was held out of a pivotal divisional game against the Steelers due to what was called “a coaching decision.” It was because of “something that happened during the week,” according to Cleveland.com.
Steelers rookie quarterback Devlin Hodges completed only 14 passes, but racked up 212 yards against the thin Browns secondary in a 20-13 win. Cleveland had a chance to climb back to .500 and deal Pittsburgh a devastating blow. Instead, it put the Steelers in a good position to land a spot in the postseason.
Nov. 15: Myles Garrett gets an indefinite suspension for an ugly fight
The Browns’ 2019 season has been defined by a lack of discipline.
The culmination of that problem was a fight in the final seconds of a 21-7 win for the Browns over the Steelers. More specifically, it was Cleveland’s star pass rusher Myles Garrett ripping off the helmet of Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph and bashing him over the head with it.
This is all ugly pic.twitter.com/9WQzcjZCCj
— CJ Fogler (@cjzero) November 15, 2019
Garrett claimed Rudolph used a racial slur, but the NFL said it found no evidence of that claim. Rudolph received a sizable fine, Browns defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi was suspended one game, and Steelers offensive lineman Maurkice Pouncey was suspended three games.
Garrett unsurprisingly received the worst punishment, an indefinite suspension that runs through the remainder of the 2019 season and potentially beyond. He’ll have to apply for reinstatement during the offseason.
Oct. 7: Baker Mayfield finishes a MNF loss with a 13.4 passer rating
Mayfield finished a 31-3 loss to the 49ers watching from the sideline. In a Monday Night Football showcase, he completed just 8 of 22 passes for 100 yards with two interceptions. Mayfield was pulled with just over five minutes left and the loss dropped the Browns to 2-3.
He was also sacked four times and fumbled twice behind a porous offensive line.
Sept. 8: Browns OT Greg Robinson is ejected for a dangerous kick
The Browns’ season started with dark clouds immediately. The Titans ran away with a 43-13 blowout win and Cleveland’s starting left tackle, Greg Robinson, was ejected for kicking safety Kenny Vaccaro in the face.
welp, the Browns will have to play the second half without their starting left tackle. Greg Robinson ejected for kicking Kenny Vaccaro right in the face pic.twitter.com/y324hpluQ7
— Christian D'Andrea (@TrainIsland) September 8, 2019
Robinson wasn’t suspended for the kick, but he struggled to protect Mayfield’s blindside all season.
June 4: Baker Mayfield calls out Duke Johnson for wanting out of Cleveland
Browns running back Duke Johnson showed up for offseason activities, but made it clear that he hoped for a trade out of Cleveland.
Duke Johnson Jr. explains his trade request & why he doesn’t feel wanted by #Browns anymore pic.twitter.com/EyRQ5MNiaY
— Daryl Ruiter (@RuiterWrongFAN) June 4, 2019
That’s not an especially unique situation. Johnson was one of a handful of players across the NFL that held out or voiced displeasure with their current team and/or contract. It also wasn’t too surprising that Kitchens put his foot down and said Johnson was going to be part of the Browns offense, whether he likes it or not.
However, it did raise eyebrows when Mayfield spoke out against his teammate.
#Browns Baker Mayfield on Duke wanting to be traded: “You’re either on this train or your not”
— Mary Kay Cabot (@MaryKayCabot) June 4, 2019
That comment reportedly didn’t sit well with everyone in the locker room.
As I just stated on @nflnetwork: According to multiple sources, several veteran Browns players approached Baker Mayfield in the locker room after the young QB's critical comments about RB Duke Johnson to register their displeasure, and they hashed out their differences.
— Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) June 13, 2019
The situation was smoothed out for good when Johnson was traded to the Texans in August.
Bad luck has played a factor in the Browns’ subpar season too. Beckham hasn’t been 100 percent for most of, if not all of, the season. Other significant injuries include ones that have kept players like Christian Kirksey, David Njoku, Olivier Vernon, and Morgan Burnett out of action.
But the frustrating year will likely be remembered for the in-fighting and drama that continued to bubble up as the season went on. That cost the Browns a promising season and could also cost Kitchens his job.

15 TO WATCH/5 SPORTS TECH/POWER OF SPORTS 5: RICK HORROW’S TOP SPORTS/BIZ/TECH/PHILANTHROPY ISSUES FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 4
with Jamie Swimmer & Jesse Leeds Grant
The revenue the Golden Knights have pumped into the NHL will "help deliver the largest salary cap increase" since 2014. According to TSN.ca., NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said that the current projection for the 2018-2019 salary cap upper limit "remains between" $78-82 million. Even if the NHL and NHLPA "decide not to enact an inflator, that means the salary cap will rise" at least $3 million from this season’s $75 million. The cap has risen an average of $2 million over "each of the last three summers, with revenue remaining mostly flat." League-wide revenue is approaching $5 billion per season, and the success of not just the Golden Knights, but "also a 31st team in general, has helped." Said Daly, “There’s a lot of revenue certainly generated by the Las Vegas franchise. Certainly on their jersey sales and licensed merchandise, it’s off the charts…It’s an amazing story in every category.” Meanwhile, Game 1 of the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals between the Capitols and Golden Knights handed NBC Sports an average of 5.279 million viewers across NBC, the NBC Sports app, and NBCSports.com, making it the most-watched Game 1 in three years. Overall, the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs remain the most-watched in 21 years, and are on track to be the highest-revenue series of the current era as well.
This year’s NBA Playoffs have been incredibly successful for the league from a viewership standpoint thus far, and the Finals appear to be no different. According to SportsBusiness Journal, as LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers continue their battle against Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and the Golden State Warriors for the fourth year in a row, the NBA is able to celebrate its best playoff viewership since 2012. Through the conference finals, TNT, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and NBA TV averaged 4.6 million viewers for the 77 telecasts, coming in just short of the 4.9 million average six years ago. The NBA Playoffs have also “won the night on cable TV nearly 92% of the time (34 of 37 nights)” this year. Two of the most-watched contests were the Game 7 matchups in both Eastern and Western Conferences, which averaged just under 9 million viewers apiece. The Warriors-Rockets Game 7 ultimately finished with 14.8 million viewers, “marking the second-best figure for an NBA game in cable TV history.” Starting with a thrilling Game 1 in Oakland, won by the Warriors, this year’s Finals could produce higher ratings than even initially expected.
As the French Open enters its second week, Amazon is set to agree to a two-year deal for the exclusive global broadcast rights to the Laver Cup. Sources told the Australian Financial Review that the agreement will allow the tech giant to show the three-day international team tennis tournament on its Prime Video subscription service. Plans for associated content, including behind-the-scenes videos and a related mini-series, will reportedly also be included. The Laver Cup, which launched last year, is named after Australian tennis icon Rod Laver. It is owned and operated by Team8, the management company set up by Roger Federer and his long-time agent Tony Godsick, in conjunction with Tennis Australia and the USTA. In a format reminiscent of golf’s Ryder Cup, the competition pits ‘Team World’ against ‘Team Europe’, who were captained last year by John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg respectively. This year's Laver Cup is due to be held in Chicago in September. News of the latest deal comes as Amazon continues to expand its portfolio of tennis broadcast rights. Last year, it outbid Sky Sports for rights to the ATP World Tour in the UK, while it also won rights to the U.S. Open in that market for the next five years.
Minor League Baseball has partnered with EVERFI to bring a summer learning course to rising fifth grade students in key markets. The digital course, Summer Slugger, teaches students literacy and math skills through the game of baseball. Multiple MiLB clubs will participate in the pilot, which will reach thousands of students including the Las Vegas 51s, the Richmond Flying Squirrels, the Charlotte Knights, the Lexington Legends, the Charleston RiverDogs, and the Omaha Storm Chasers. On May 22, the Omaha Storm Chasers hosted a program launch event at Gateway Elementary School with 240 students. The Las Vegas 51s also hosted a launch event on May 10 at Eva G. Simmons Elementary School, with 270 students. Minor league baseball has always been known for its innovation, creativity, and family-friendly atmosphere. The deal with EVERFI takes that mindset from the ballpark to the classroom, aided by an equally creative, innovative partner.
As the U.S. Open prepares to tee off at Shinnecock next week, Tagmarshal, the golf course intelligence and pace-of-play system, is operational at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club. Pinehurst is a former U.S. Open host, host of the 2019 U.S. Amateur Championship, and one of Golf Digest’s top-five courses worldwide. With more single golf championships than any other site in America and nine challenging golf courses, Pinehurst will enhance its already renowned player experience by using Tagmarshal’s sophisticated geo-tagging and pace algorithm software. Partnering with Tagmarshal gives courses proven operational efficiencies, while superintendents use Tagmarshal data to better manage pin placements, wear patterns, and hole set-ups. Equipped with these vital statistics, some courses can expect to see a 15-17 minute decrease for each round and increased maintenance efficiency. Recent system installments across the country have led to 70% of rounds being played on pace or within five minutes of target goal times. Top-ranked courses trusting Tagmarshal include Carnoustie (The 2018 Open Championship), The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort (2021 PGA Championship), Whistling Straits, and more. The amount of time it takes to play a round of golf is one of the sport’s major deterrents, so any innovation that leads to quicker play will only benefit the industry as a whole.
The NFL has repeatedly stated its intent to stay out of politics, though President Trump’s criticism of players protesting the national anthem this season “pushed the league to shift its stance” on the issue. According to the Wall Street Journal, President Trump’s repeated and direct criticism of NFL players kneeling during the national anthem ultimately resulted in team owners making private “political calculations” in response to the president’s strong words. “This is a very winning, strong issue for me,” Trump told Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones last year. “Tell everybody, you can’t win this one. This one lifts me.” Multiple owners, including Miami Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross, cited their support for the players up until Trump made his comments. “He changed the dialogue,” said Ross. The NFL pushed back against Trump’s comments last season, but the decision to change the policy this year came from the owners themselves – most of whom lean conservative and many of whom have backed Trump with campaign contributions.
The NFL stadium being built in Los Angeles could find its way into the regular rotation of Final Four hosts, much to the dismay of Phoenix. According to the Arizona Republic, the Chargers and Rams’ new stadium, which is expected to cost as much as $4.963 billion, is becoming an “attractive option” for one of the country’s biggest annual sporting events. Los Angeles is currently one of seven cities bidding to land a Final Four over a four-year span, competing against Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Detroit, and Indianapolis. “There is interest in Los Angeles,” said NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee member Tom Burnett. “And as I’ve told the others, we have a math issue here. There’s a presumption that Indianapolis will get one of those because of their NCAA arrangement, so (it could be) six for three years.” This past year’s Final Four in San Antonio delivered an economic impact of $185 million, and the 2017 rendition in Phoenix turned out an impressive $324.5 million positive impact. With the warm Los Angeles weather and a state-of-the-art stadium in the works, L.A. sits as a serious contender to land a Final Four in the near future.
The Supreme Court’s recent decision to legalize sports betting across all 50 states will impact more than professional sports leagues – it will also have a direct effect on college athletics. According to SportsDay, Big 12 presidents and athletic directors recently got a crash course on the ruling and how it will play out on a collegiate level. With a conference as geographically spread out as the Big 12, different universities will be forced to react in different ways to the ruling depending on how their respective states elect to handle the issue. “Well, in all frankness, I wish I knew how it was going to affect the landscape,” said Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby. “You just look at our footprint. We have five different states that are going to have five different sets of rules and laws.” Just as multiple professional leagues have already noted, universities are beginning to talk about pushing for an “integrity fee,” hoping that the fee would be put toward “enhanced compliance and gambling education.” With college athletic department funding mostly down at all but the power conferences top-tier schools, it goes unsaid that sports gambling integrity fees could also put some much-needed revenue into AD coffers.
A new economic impact report claims that Super Bowl LII at U.S. Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis brought in “net new spending” of $370 million to the Twin Cities. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Super Bowl celebration that lasted from January 26-February 4 in Minnesota delivered on its promised economic impact, coming in $50 million over initial pre-event projections. The $370 million can largely be attributed to the $179 million spent by broadcast and event planners – the most ever for a Super Bowl. The ultimate number was reached “after subtracting about $80 million for displaced tourism (people who were kept away from the area by the event).” The number, which is still being disputed by a few parties, confirms that Minnesota – Minneapolis and St. Paul specifically – know how to host mega sporting events successfully and profitably, boding well for the 2019 Final Four also being held at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The Milwaukee Bucks are on the verge of signing a naming rights partner for their new $524 million downtown arena. According to SportsBusiness Journal, the Bucks are working to finalize the deal with Fiserv, a Wisconsin-based financial tech firm, that could be worth as much as $6 million per year for 20 years. If agreed up by both parties, the Bucks’ new home could become either Fiserv Arena or the Fiserv Center, though no ultimate ruling has been made public yet. The Bucks had initially been looking for more money in their search for a suitable naming rights partner, prompting them to walk “away from the same deal with similar terms within the past year.” “We certainly have been in negotiations with three or four different entities over the last year,” said Bucks President Peter Feigin. The new 17,500-seat arena will host both the Bucks and Marquette University upon opening. Per NBA tradition, there’s likely also an NBA All-Star Game in the future for the Bucks’ new house – February Wisconsin weather notwithstanding.
FC Cincinnati has officially been unveiled as Major League Soccer’s 26th franchise. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the club will begin play in the top flight of American soccer in 2019, marking a significant milestone for a franchise that only joined the USL in 2016. In 16 home games last season at Nippert Stadium, the team averaged an impressive 21,000 fans while also “beating two MLS clubs in the U.S. Open Cup in front of 30,000-plus fans.” Putting that attendance figure into perspective, of the 22 MLS teams in the league last year, only seven had a higher average attendance over the course of the season. A 21,000-seat soccer-specific stadium is currently planned to open for the 2021 season, which should be at capacity each game based on the club’s current trajectory. FC Cincinnati will have to pay a $150 million expansion fee ahead of joining the league, marking a 15-fold hike in price from the $10 million that Toronto FC paid to join MLS only 10 years ago.
Detroit has officially been announced as the host of a new PGA Tour event beginning in June, 2019. According to the Detroit News, Quicken Loans, the title sponsor for the event, helped deliver the news, making the Michigan city a PGA Tour event destination “for the first time ever.” Detroit Golf Club is expected to host the new event, which will replace The National on the PGA Tour’s schedule. Quicken Loans was The National’s title sponsor from 2014-2017, meaning that the Detroit-based company will be able to leverage its extensive presence across its hometown to promote the event. Quicken Loans officials already said that they are “planning for a multi-week event, complete with concerts and other attractions, with the golf tournament as the centerpiece.” The Buick Open hosted in Grand Blanc back in 2009 was the most recent PGA Tour event held in the state of Michigan, so this news comes as a huge positive for the rebuilding city and its state.
The battle between North America and Morocco for hosting rights to the 2026 World Cup is heating up just ahead of the June 13 decision. According to Reuters, the joint bid between the United States, Canada, and Mexico is working relentlessly to fend off Morocco, a “feisty rival” that poses a significant threat due to its African support base. Of the 211 total votes that will be cast by each country’s FA, 54 of those votes come from Africa, Morocco’s home. Because of that, both bids have made the African continent their “primary focus” over the past week or two, with the joint bid trying to steal a few African votes away from Morocco. Liberia has already voiced its support for the North American bid, and South Africa’s government has urged its FA to vote that way as well, citing its “strained relations” with the Moroccan government. The North American bid is poised to generate more than $5 billion in short-term economic activity, per a report from BCG, with individual cities expecting approximately $160-620 million each in incremental economic activity. While these numbers dwarf those expected out of Morocco, FIFA has shown its new desire to factor in more than money when making these decisions. Whichever way the vote falls on June 13, expect continued debate and outcry about it to be part of the soundtrack of the imminent World Cup in Russia.
As the 2018 World Cup in Russia quickly approaches, now less than two weeks away, FIFA remains under heavy scrutiny for awarding Qatar the right to host the 2022 event. According to the London Daily Mail, a watchdog organization recently uncovered more evidence of corruption directly relating to Qatar’s successful bid back in 2010. The Foundation of Sports Integrity said that Qatar’s vote victory was “completely illegitimate” as part of a new investigation. Evidence cites that Qatar paid “millions to members of FIFA’s executive committee as they considered which country would be awarded the tournament.” One confirmed “mystery payment” ahead of the 2010 vote was £3.6 million deposited into Argentine FIFA executive Julio Grondona’s Swiss bank account; Qatar also allegedly paid off a £50 million debt owed by the Argentine FA. Qatar beat out the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Australia to become the smallest nation by area ever to have been awarded a FIFA World Cup, and while bribery has long been alleged as the reason why, as evidence piles up it is quickly morphing from whisper to fact.
Despite being met by some opposition at the onset, Jacksonville Jaguars Owner Shahid Khan’s $1.19 billion bid to buy Wembley Stadium is pushing forward. According to the London Times, there was no “outright opposition” among FA councilors at a recent meeting to discuss the potential sale. English FA CEO Martin Glenn laid out an ambitious vision to the councilors were the sale to go through, as it could result in upwards of $1.3 billion being put into grassroots soccer across the UK by 2030. Also to ease the emotions of the councilors and preserve the sanctity of the historic venue, Glenn confirmed that “any new owner would have to agree to numerous projections until 2057, such as not selling naming rights for the stadium and ensuring the Royal Box remains in place.” “Receiving an offer to sell Wembley Stadium is not a betrayal,” said Glenn of the deal. “It is not selling the soul of the game…What we have in front of us is simply an opportunity.” Expect Khan to prevail in the purchase. But don’t expect him to be moving the Jaguars to London anytime soon.

Youku acquires World Cup streaming rights in China. Youku, a Chinese streaming site owned by e-commerce giant Alibaba, has won Chinese digital streaming rights to the 2018 World Cup. According to Caixin Global, a Beijing-based media site, the streaming site entered into a partnership with state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV), China’s exclusive World Cup broadcaster.

CCTV holds exclusive media rights to several FIFA competitions between 2018 and 2022, including the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup, the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and the 2021 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Analytics startup monitors athletes’ off-field behavior. Sports analytics platform Avrij Analytics has raised $1.2 million. The funding was led by the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation (NBIF), which invested $500,000 in the company. Technology Ventures Corp and other private and public investors also participated in the round. Launched in 2016, Avrij Analytics’ founders saw the need to develop a sports analytics platform while working as data science consultants in New York. The team said that they returned to New Brunswick to take advantage of the province’s startup resources. Avrij Analytics provides sports organizations with a software platform that tracks, monitors, and predicts an athlete’s off-field behavior. The company’s goal is to protect athletes’ brands and help sports organizations optimize the recruitment and management of their teams. Avrij Analytics takes into account activities like community involvement, an athlete’s online tone of voice, and a player’s charity work. In addition to merely monitoring and monitoring on-line conversations and interactions, Avrij believes it could predict conduct.

Arccos provides users analytics for every swing. Arccos, the golf analytics startup that works as a digital caddie, deepened its partnership with Microsoft this week. A brand new model of its app will supply golfers actual-time swing methods and analyses for each shot on any course on earth. By means of an up to date function within the firm’s app, referred to as Arccos Caddie 2.0, the Microsoft Azure-powered service will use synthetic intelligence to supply customers with recommendations about methods and predict outcomes as they work their approach down the golf course. Among the many elements Caddie 2.0 will think about are a consumer’s shot historical past, the historic efficiency of different Arccos customers, climate circumstances comparable to wind velocity and path, elevation modifications, gap geometry, and hazard places. “Your complete sports panorama is being revolutionized by superior analytics, and golf is probably the very best sport for the appliance of those ideas,” stated Arccos CEO Sal Syed, in a press release. “Working with Microsoft, we’re plugging into a really conventional framework—the caddie/participant relationship—and taking it to the subsequent degree via the facility of AI.”

Cal Ripken Jr.'s playing career is best remembered for being baseball's Iron Man, never missing a game for 17 years. His career after baseball has been built on furthering a love for the game. Last Wednesday, according to the Oklahoman, Ripken along with hundreds of students, faculty, and alumni gathered at Oklahoma City’s newly-renovated Southeast High School Sports Complex for its grand unveiling. In partnership with Fields & Futures (backed by Group One Thousand One), the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation, and Oklahoma City Public School Athletics, the new field and electronic scoreboard for baseball and softball were unveiled to the public. "This is big league," Ripken said. "This is the same caliber of field that we would've gotten to go out there and play on. If you really get excited about the field you are playing on, you start to do really good things all around." Southeast became the 22nd OKCPS athletic field to be renovated, and became the first to feature a synthetic turf infield. Ripken said it was important to him and his family foundation to partner with Fields & Futures because of its mission of restoring baseball to poorer schools and neighborhoods.
Ronnie Brewer plans annual foundation weekend. Former NBA player Ronnie Brewer will hold his annual charity weekend this week. The Ronnie Brewer Jr. Foundation supports communities in at-risk situations while promoting education, physical fitness, and the importance of working together as a team.
