Fan Controlled Sports + Entertainment
We make interactive sports and they are awesome. The first season of Fan Controlled Football launched in 2021 then we ran it back bigger and better with Season v2.0 in 2022. In 2023 we will be taking the field again for FCF S3 and rolling out Fan Controlled Hoops. Real life pro sports leagues with elite athletes competing while the fans call the shots. From naming their squad, to designing the logo and picking the jerseys, to drafting the players and calling the plays - this is sports built by the fans. Everything goes down at our custom built venue in Atlanta and features a host of our famous friends who serve as team owners and stay players including Marshawn Lynch, Quavo, Richard Sherman, Johnny Manziel, Terrell Owens, Steve Aoki, Jamal Anderson, Rachel Lindsay, Baron Davis, Dalvin Cook, Druski, Trevor May, Austin Ekeler, Bob Menery, Ronnie2K, Renee Montgomery, Josh Gordon, Miro, Deestroying, Joe Montana, Marcus Peters, Tiki & Ronde Baber and more.
