In addition, we entered partnerships with Shula’s Steakhouse and Top Golf to be part of the destination. On the media and gaming verticals, we launched the NFL Alumni Academy and announced the brand for our new fantasy football league, called the Hall of Fantasy League, which looks to redefine fantasy football with the launch of the league for the 2021 NFL season,” commented Mike Crawford, Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to remain excited about the long range opportunities in front of us to leverage the power of professional football and create multiple business verticals across an integrated platform and the entire team remains committed to making this company as successful as it can possibly be for the long, long-term,” added Mr. Crawford.
