Why play the Fan Controlled Football League? Ask Marshawn Lynch.

December 14, 2018



On a very special episode of Digital Trends Live, DT’s live morning show, host Greg Nibler was joined by Marshawn Lynch, running back for the Oakland Raiders (and formerly the Seattle Seahawks, with whom he won the Super Bowl in 2013). Over the course of a freewheeling discussion, they talked about Lynch’s charitable foundation, Fam1st Family Foundation, his mobile network Beast Mobile, and a new football league where fans control the teams.

Lynch talked about the Fan Controlled Football League (FCFL), a new sports league that enables fans to directly participate in the management of teams, whose games are streamed on Twitch. It’s essentially Twitch Plays Pokemon, except instead of a video game, viewers will be managing actual, flesh-and-blood people. Fan purchase fan tokens, which are recorded on — you guessed it — a blockchain to ensure transparency and security, and fans can spend these tokens to vote on decisions regarding roster moves and even in-game play calls. Given how many football fans still grumble about the Seahawks’ decision not to run the ball in Super Bowl 49, this is a chance for them to prove their own coaching skills.

Digital Trends Live airs Monday through Friday at 9 a.m. PT, with highlights available on demand after the stream ends. For more information, check out the DT Live homepage, and be sure to watch live for the chance to win occasional prizes.
