Capítulo 1598: Chapter 1597: The Perfect Spokesperson
It is foreseeable that, once again, there are hidden currents, sudden storms, and complex alliances, as always, the draft never lacks lurking intrigue and drama, and this year will be no exception; the upcoming new draft will once again be swept into the storm due to the “Li Wei Curse”.
However, that is a matter for the next year, a reversal, an accident, once again pushing the League’s fierce competition to a climax.
Now, bringing the vision back to the 2020 draft which has just ended, O’Kuda, Simmons, and Rags, these young talents are ready to embark on a new journey:
They are full of confidence, ready to use their actions to prove that Li Wei made a major mistake; even if he is a three-ti Super Bowl MVP, it does not an he can arrogantly oversee the young rookies, nor does it an that his outsider opinions about Football are all golden rules.
Indeed, the League is creating a deity, all signs suggest that Goodell is working to shape Li Wei into a god, but these fearless young bulls are not buying it; they will forge their future with their own hands, even if it ans stepping over a deity’s corpse—
Look at Li Wei, did he not step atop Brady’s shoulder to ascend? Since Li Wei can, why can’t they?
Each of them dreams of achieving greatness and ascending to the throne within three years, passionately stepping into the Professional League to start a new journey.
Amidst the clamor and excitent, another draft closes, another batch of fresh blood rushes into the League, the Free Market transactions are near completion, a new season is quietly approaching, though not yet officially comnced, their hearts are already racing.
The 2019 season marks the League’s 100-year season, a turning point, because the League is drafting a series of strategies and plans to expand influence and continuously open overseas markets, these plans are set to debut in the new season, heralding a fresh atmosphere for the League, everything is unknown.
The 2020 season sees the first increase in playoff spots, from six teams to seven.
Then, only the number one seed in the conference can enjoy a first-round bye and full ho-field advantage, the second seed must also compete in the wild card competition.
Wild card race match-ups—
“Second seed VS seventh seed”.
“Third seed VS sixth seed”.
“Fourth seed VS fifth seed”.
Divisional race match-ups—
Among the three winners of the first round wild card gas, the lowest-ranked seed challenges the number one seed, while the other two teams face off against each other.
Adding a playoff spot is more than just adding a wild card ga and increasing ratings and advertising revenue, it also gives one more team a chance, disrupts the playoff layout, and expands the chaos of playoff competition, further amplifying the well-known suspense of NFL wins and losses.
On social networks, people were ridiculing: is the League targeting the Kansas City Chiefs? Is the League worried about the Kansas City Chiefs achieving four consecutive titles? Are the other thirty-one teams uniting to pressure the League to stop the Chiefs’ dominance?
Actually, that’s not the case.
It’s a decision in comrcial promotion and marketing; after three years of discussion, it passed through votes at the team owners’ eting, from conception to proposal, to drafting detailed strategies, and finally executing through agreents, the process was not that simple, the plan was already in place before the Chiefs and Li Wei’s rise.
Netizens joke: originally made to target the New England Patriots, but instead, the Kansas City Chiefs walked right into it.
And that’s still not all.
In the 2021 season, the League plans to add one regular season ga, expanding from sixteen gas to seventeen.
This affects the season length, ho and away arrangents, overseas event layouts, etc., the League is digging into market potential step by step.
Obviously, the League is not targeting anyone, not Kansas City Chiefs nor Li Wei, because everything is based on interest, involving tens of billions of US Dollars, even hundreds of billions, and is critical for the full layout for the next decade, Goodell has a more grandiose plan.
Just as Brady, Watt, and Rodgers have their roles in their teams, interests are the core of the Professional League, even beyond the value of a single team’s existence, all thirty-two League teams unite, and in pursuing interests, work together to open a new era.
However, Goodell must admit, circumstances create heroes, everything is well planned, everything is on track, Li Wei has erged from nowhere, appearing at exactly the right position:
Asian. Running back. Three-ti champion.
Timing, geography, and humanity, all collide together, it’s perfect, even Li Wei’s outsider background adds flavor, making him the most fitting, perfect ambassador choice for the League’s promotion and market expansion plans.
This is why, even though Li Wei is using his running back status to fight for more benefits for other positional players, challenging the quarterback’s core role, arising disagreents with Goodell’s painstakingly laid plans for two decades; Goodell still focuses on the bigger picture, promoting Li Wei to the League’s front position, and unfolds comprehensive cooperation.
Li Wei is indeed The Chosen One.
Facts have also proven this—
Before the new season begins, “Forbes” published an article celebrating Li Wei’s historical achievent, becoming the first player in the history of global professional sports to surpass 200 million US Dollars in inco within a calendar year.
In the article, “Forbes” recalled the 2017 globally sensational “The-Money-Fight”, Floyd Mayweather and Connor McGregor’s boxing match.
That fight, Mayweather’s personal inco broke historical records, including 100 million US Dollars in appearances fees, live gate, advertising revenue, and the real heavyweight pay-per-view sales sharing, with global PPV sales reaching 600 million US Dollars, Mayweather receiving a generous share, resulting in personal inco reaching 285 million US Dollars.
This is the peak of personal inco in sports events globally, just one boxing match, Mayweather pocketed a 285 million US Dollar check.
However, “Forbes” argues this is re match inco, non-reproducible, and a one-off case, needing to be listed separately; other professional teams cannot be calculated according to Mayweather’s standards, even Mayweather himself cannot replicate.
Figures like ssi, C-Ronaldo, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, David Beckham rely on regular seasonal inco, match bonuses, endorsent inco, comrcial investnts, image authorizations, etc., to achieve earnings, not only creating peaks but also sustaining high incos over three, five years or longer, this should be the norm.
Yet within this norm, no one has ever been able to surpass 200 million US Dollars in a calendar year, never ever.
Until Li Wei arises—
History is finally born.
