Ever Heard Of Sports Fantasy Leagues?
The newest Pew Internet Project research shows an interesting results on online participating in sports fantasy leagues. What the heck is that … I hear you asking … or at least I heard myself.
Well, this sentence was quite impressive to me: On a typical day, two million internet users are going online to oversee and check on their fantasy teams. Two million? Even tho this represents only 8% of adult Americans, it is more than a whole adult Slovenia.
As described in PIP report, sport fantasy teams are created by fans who ‘draft’ individual professional athletes to be part of their team. The ‘team’ is an artificial assembly of players from a variety of real teams.
So, to cut a long story short …
- 83% of the participants in online fantasy leagues are male;
- 76% of the participants in online fantasy leagues have six or more years of internet experience;
- 61% of the participants have broadband at home;
- 51% of the participants use the internet daily.
Two words on my mind … narcotic disfunction … oh … am no better .. only that I don’t play sports, but instead I do the online hanging out with friends.
