@krausehouse became the world's 1st DAO to buy a pro sports team, the Ball Hogs luckily the ownership group was open minded to bringing a native DAO into the ownership group they built a novel structure of NFTs to facilitate the deal

every league (best thought of as a collection of owners that appoint an exec to operate) & owner think about ownership differently the phrase we've heard from the NBA to EPL to MLP is the same: "one throat to choke" the owners collective want to be able to hold a single individual accountable to make changes to protect the collective

"ownership" of any assets is actually 3 things: - access - equity - governance while all 3 are amazing, plenty of market demand exists for remixes of the 3: Airbnb = Capital for access Robinhood = Capital for equity Governance Token = Capital for governance

the Ball Hogs are an experiment in Access my fav story is of bayesianballer a KH Jerry who loved analytics, started building scouting reports for the Ball Hogs… now he sits on the bench as an assistant coach 🤯 his scouting reports evolved into rotation analytics then into draft analysis & now a valued member of the club

fractional ownership CREATES fandom I'm the 1st to admit, I didn't watch the BIG3 before we became owners if I did, it was prob Beasley highlights — but only if the algo served them to me being a fractional owner creates your fandom what clubs that aren't the Cowboys, Yankees, Lakers, ManUtd, don't realize is that if they want to drive the next order of magnitude fans; they'll need to bring fans deeper
