The Sports Rights Hunger Games
In this episode of The Attention Shift, Ed, Jo, and Lee dissect the sports rights divide between mega-deal winners and DTC gamblers. We've seen the NFL break from the norm and strike a revolutionary equity deal with ESPN, at the same time as Ligue 1 pursues a risky streaming pivot after falling out with DAZN.

The Attention Shift
Is Women's Sport in CRISIS?
In this episode Lee, Jo and Ed break down the women's sports attendance paradox and what it means for long-term sustainability. The trio tackle questions like "Why are stadiums half-empty despite record TV numbers?" while exploring WSL's 10% attendance drop, Sky Sports' £60m expansion plans, and whether women's sports need their own identity separate from men's teams. With 76% of fans staying casual viewers and YouTube tripling WSL viewership, can the industry turn digital engagement into stadium sellouts?

The Attention Shift
The Five Forces Reshaping Fandom

In this episode Jo, Ed and Lee break down PMG's five forces and how it's changing fandom.


The trio will take on questions like "How is Baller League connecting with Gen Z as traditional sports struggle?" while digging into whether sports can adapt or if it'll take a complete new rule book to engage new age fans.

The Attention Shift
Creators and The Club World Cup

DAZN’s $1B play for the FIFA Club World Cup isn’t just about broadcast rights—it’s about creators. With 100 digital stars tapped into a combined audience of 32 million, DAZN is betting big on creator-led content to drive engagement. Think docuseries like Through Ball and Chasing the Trophy, a creator house in Miami, and a global push that spans the U.S. to Spain.

But here’s the tension: are rights holders genuinely evolving, or just outsourcing their youth strategy to influencers? Is this the future of fandom, or a shortcut that risks missing the point?

In this episode of The Attention Shift, we get into it—how creators are reshaping the game, why legacy sports media is struggling to talk to Gen Z, and what success (or failure) really looks like when the creator economy meets billion-dollar sport.
