Sports may begin with a game, but once enough people care about the outcome, they become something much bigger.
In this episode of Think Outside the Block, we look at how spectator sports evolved from ancient public competitions into one of the most powerful businesses in the world. From ticket sales and television rights to superstar athletes, the Olympics, the World Cup, and the rise of esports, this episode explores how sports learned to turn attention, identity, and live drama into a global economy.
It also examines what COVID revealed about the sports industry, whether esports deserves to be considered a legitimate sport, and how streaming, betting, technology, and changing fan habits could shape what comes next.
