Nashville Radio: Bobby Bones To Own FCFL Team
iHeartMedia Personality Bobby Bones will be a Team Owner/Fan Captain in the soon-to-be-launched Fan Controlled Football League (FCFL). The FCFL will launch later this year and will be "the first professional sports league where fans call all the shots."
Games will be presesnted on the mobile app and Twitch interactive video experience that gives fans control over team decisions.
FCFL will launch with eight teams. Other Team Owners include Marshawn Lynch, Richard Sherman, Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, Prince Royce and Twich streamers Kinda Funny. Additional owners will be announced in the coming weeks.
Bones and his team will create the team's brand, voice and personality and make decisions about hiring and firing, drafting players and callling plays in real time.
"I've been a pretty proud football fan for as long as I can remember, but becoming an owner in the FCFL was a no-brainer because the fans literally lead the way and call the shots,” said Bones. “The league is innovative, different, and I’m excited for the #BTeam to join me in another crazy journey.”
“Country music and football go hand in hand, so adding one of Country music’s biggest personalities – who was just recently an NFL Draft correspondent for ABC and ESPN – to our roster of team owners is only natural,” said FCFL CEO Sohrob Farudi. “What a lot of people don't realize about is that he has incredibly deep sports knowledge besides being a fierce competitor, which we all saw when he won ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ We're excited to have him bring his legion of Country music fans to the FCFL."
