PROFESSIONAL FANS ON 1K A WEEK

Football can get bigger. But not on the pitch. In the stands and in front of the TV. By 2018, there will be the world’s first professional inter-league of super-fans who will be paid by the clubs they support. Some fans will be paid directly by players and they will share agents. Brands will also buy fans and contractually tie them into appearances with political figures and sponsorship deals. This trend will coincide with an incremental reduction in the salaries of players. Within 30 years, the actors and the audience will be evenly paid and then the beautiful game will once again find its feet.
