This shortfall pertains to revenues generated through the use of players\u2019 brands in licensing and sponsorship deals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OneTeam Partners, established in 2019, has been pivotal in securing these deals. It also manages merchandizing and player trading card creations. However, a cloud of uncertainty now hangs over the firm\u2019s ability to deliver on its financial obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inside sources have disclosed that this missing revenue is intrinsically tied to the NFTs launched in partnership with the NFL. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"A_partnership_with_Dapper_Labs\">A partnership with Dapper Labs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The NFTs were part of a deal with <a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/how-to-start-collecting-nba-top-shot-packs-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dapper Labs<\/a>, the firm also responsible for running NFTs for the NBA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The rise of NFTs in 2021 led to revenue-sharing agreements in the sports industry, some exceeding $10 million. The crypto market collapse resulted in a sharp decline in NFT values. This decline had a ripple effect on associated revenues. Dapper Labs, heavily reliant on NFTs, has been hit hard. This resulted in large-scale layoffs and a significant drop in revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dapper Labs entered into negotiations with the NFL in April 2023 to revisit the terms of their existing agreement. This renegotiation process carries the potential for a substantial reduction, possibly surpassing 50%, in the previously agreed-upon revenue-sharing guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the NFL Players Union now faces significant challenges, as it is unable to secure an anticipated $41.8 million in NFT-related revenue.<\/p>\n<p><iframe data-test-id=\"beehiiv-embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border-radius: 4px; border: 2px solid #e5e7eb; margin: 0; background-color: transparent;\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/embeds.beehiiv.com\/37fed65e-f01c-4c4c-b8f1-1b71da0be0a4\"><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embeds.beehiiv.com\/37fed65e-f01c-4c4c-b8f1-1b71da0be0a4\" data-test-id=\"beehiiv-embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border-radius: 4px; border: 2px solid #e5e7eb; margin: 0; background-color: transparent;\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-text__wrapper post-content\">\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>All investment\/financial opinions expressed by NFTevening.com are not recommendations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article is educational material.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As always, make your own research prior to making any kind of investment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/nfl-players-union-misses-out-on-41-8m-report-reveals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NFL Players Union has reportedly missed out on tens of millions in sponsorship and licensing revenue tied to the burgeoning crypto industry during the 2022 fiscal year, according to The Athletic.\u00a0 TL;DR The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) was unable to collect $41.8 million in licensing and sponsorship revenue related to the crypto industry during [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7854,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[9],"tags":[21],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Capture-decran-2023-06-01-a-13.34.18-1024x573.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7853"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nft.runfyers.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
