Short-form isn't an ad for live sports. It's the product. 📱

At PEAK 2026, Daniel Kirschner, co-founder and CEO of Greenfly, made the case that sports organizations have been thinking about short-form content backwards. If that's how a huge share of fans actually experience a team or league (waking up to clips instead of watching live at 3am), it's not a preview of the real thing. It is the real thing.

Where the attention is, the value is. That means it deserves a real revenue strategy, not a footnote.
