Streaming the NFL on YouTube is helping the league connect with Gen Z, says platform's CEO
When stepped into the NFL arena with its acquisition of Sunday Ticket rights, it didn't just streamline access for fans who had long struggled with DirecTV's exclusivity. It reshaped the landscape of how football is consumed—especially by younger viewers who are more plugged into creator-driven digital platforms than traditional TV broadcasts. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now YouTube CEO says NFL scored big with 'Sunday Ticket' as younger fans flock to the platform YouTube CEO Neal Mohan revealed in a recent conversation with Ankler Media founder Janice Min that the NFL's partnership with YouTube has already made a tangible impact on the league's demographics. 'We actually aged down the NFL's audience on our platform,' Mohan shared. He emphasized that this strategic move allowed the league's live games to sit 'alongside all of this other amazing creator-first sports content' that draws younger eyes to YouTube every day. It's no secret that Sunday Ticket is a premium subscription meant for serious fans. However, YouTube's real game-changer lies in its efforts to break the paywall barrier and reach a broader, global audience. A prime example is their upcoming stream of the Week One clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers in São Paulo, Brazil. The match, scheduled for September 5, will be broadcast for free to YouTube's massive global user base—opening the NFL's doors to millions who may never have tuned in otherwise. 'That sort of was the flywheel that we were betting on, that I was betting on, and that we've seen happen in Sunday Ticket,' Mohan explained. 'It gave me conviction then to sort of double down and do this for live game as well.' This shift isn't merely a broadcasting strategy—it's a cultural alignment. Young sports fans today don't just watch games; they engage with creators, highlight clips, and commentary in the digital space. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Mohan shared a personal insight: his 17-year-old son, a 'sports nut,' consumes nearly all his sports content through his favorite YouTubers. 'Everything that he watches is through the lens of his favorite YouTubers and sports creators. And the NFL recognized that,' Mohan said. By meeting Gen Z and millennial viewers where they are—on YouTube—the NFL is taking its content beyond the traditional sidelines. It's now embedded in the digital conversation, living among reaction videos, highlight reels, and creator fandoms. And with 2 billion users visiting YouTube daily, the league's first major free international stream may just be the start of something transformative—not just for the NFL, but for the future of live sports consumption across the globe.

'Gisele get your ex-husband': Fans mock Tom Brady after being humiliated by Eli Manning and drag Gisele Bündchen into the chaos
Tom Brady and Eli Manning's playful rivalry took center stage once again at Fanatics Fest 2025 in New York City, but it was a surprise 'takedown' and fans' reactions that stole the show. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now During a dramatic, WWE-style entrance at the Javits Center, the former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback mimicked pro wrestling star Cody Rhodes, stomping jerseys and hyping the crowd — until Eli Manning ambushed him with a piggyback-style 'tackle' that sent fans into a frenzy. Tom Brady's heel act backfires as Eli Manning delivers a surprise stage ambush Tom Brady made a show-stopping entrance to Cody Rhodes' walkout music, tearing apart a New York Jets jersey and theatrically shredding Eli Manning's Giants jersey in front of a raucous crowd. But as the moment reached peak drama, Manning entered the scene and jumped on Brady's back, WWE-style, catching the NFL legend off guard and creating a viral moment that lit up social media. Brady, who leaned fully into the 'villain' role during the entrance, didn't seem to expect the friendly ambush. The mock wrestling move not only drew laughs from the live audience but quickly became meme-worthy online. Fans drag Gisele Bündchen into the moment The unexpected moment wasn't just about football legends reenacting a wrestling skit. It quickly turned into a social media spectacle, with fans calling on Brady's ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, to step in. One viral Reddit comment read, 'Gisele get your ex-husband. She took jiu-jitsu classes,' referencing the model's well-known training in martial arts following their 2022 divorce. Bündchen's background in jiu-jitsu became meme fodder as fans joked that she might be the only one capable of 'saving' Brady from the Manning ambush. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The banter brought Brady and Bündchen's past relationship back into the spotlight, showing just how invested fans still are in their dynamic — even post-divorce. The Fanatics Fest moment was far from the first time Brady and Manning have exchanged playful jabs. Earlier in the event, Brady had scrawled 'F**k off' on a Giants jersey for Manning to sign. Manning responded in classic fashion, signing with a dry 'Good game.' Also Read: Even off the gridiron, their long-standing rivalry continues to entertain. From football to 'futbol,' their banter — now with the internet's help — keeps the legends as relevant as ever.

"She's living her teenage dream": Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story might've been written in her lyrics all along — and it's uncanny
Fans think Taylor Swift manifested Travis Kelce with these lyrics (Getty Images) Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may have only gone public with their relationship in late 2023, but fans are convinced the seeds of this love story were sown years ago — in her lyrics. From cryptic lines in early songs to real-life nods during her Eras Tour, Swifties believe their queen might have manifested this very relationship long before it became reality. Taylor Swift's fans decode how her old songs pointed straight to NFL star Travis Kelce The buzz reignited recently when Swift and Kelce were spotted enjoying a date night in New York City. On June 20, the pop icon and the Kansas City Chiefs star, both 35, were seen exiting Torrisi, a chic Italian restaurant. In the video that surfaced, Kelce stepped out first after exchanging a friendly handshake with a man at the door. Swift followed shortly after, and the couple paused briefly in conversation before slipping into a black car. She looked radiant in a light blue top, pleated mini skirt, and white heels. Kelce, as usual, kept it cool in an all-white outfit. While their chemistry was evident, what captured fans' imaginations even more was the theory that this romance might have been written in the stars — or perhaps, in Swift's lyrics. Swift herself confirmed how things began when she told TIME magazine in December 2023, 'This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bitdefender protege su mundo digital. Prueba ya! Bitdefender She added, 'We started hanging out right after that.' From the very start, their whirlwind love story remained mostly under wraps. But as their public appearances increased — whether it was at Chiefs games, family get-togethers, or award shows — fans started digging through Swift's discography. The goal? Finding lyrics that hinted at her future with a football superstar. In "Mary's Song (Oh My My My)," she sings, 'And I'll be 87, you'll be 89' — a striking coincidence since Kelce wears jersey number 87. In 'Stay Stay Stay,' she cheekily mentions someone entering wearing a football helmet. The 'End Game' lyrics say, 'I wanna be your first string, I wanna be your A-Team' — another direct hit considering Kelce is indeed the first string tight end. Even older classics like 'You Belong With Me' and 'Fifteen' seem to nod toward a sports romance, while 'Long Live' celebrates trading a cap for a crown — fitting for someone who hoisted a Super Bowl trophy while dating Swift. And then there's 'The Archer,' where she belts, 'I've been the archer, I've been the prey,' eerily similar to Kelce's iconic touchdown celebration pose. Their love story even began with a friendship bracelet — referenced in 'You're On Your Own, Kid,' where she sings, 'Make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.' Insiders claim Swift has already penned at least two new love songs about Kelce. 'They have to do with their love story and falling in love with him,' said a source to Us Weekly in March 2024. Though unreleased, these tracks may add to a growing list of lyrical hints that subtly tell the story of this budding romance. So, did Taylor Swift predict — or even manifest — her relationship with Travis Kelce? While we may never know for sure, her fans believe the clues were there all along. And in true Swift fashion, it's likely that only time — and maybe a new album — will tell.
