Video games threaten to steal millennial fans from sports: Liverpool CEO

Sports face a threat to lose millennial fans to video gaming. This fear is expressed by Primer League club Liverpool Chief Executive Peter Moore. Moore’s concerns are no mere apprehensions. His opinion is based on the television audience and match attendance figures of millennial male fan base. He was particularly concerned about football. However, the threat to other sports too cannot be ruled out. Moore’s concerns don’t come in the form of rival teams, injured players or losses on the pitch. What keeps him up at night, he says, is Fortnite, the $15bn a year, free-to-play video game taking the world by storm. “If we don’t build technological prowess as a club we will lose them (young fans),” Moore had told Arabianbusiness.com. “There’s so much pressure on time now and only 24 hours in a day, (and) there are only so many hours to play Fortnite.” Premier League leaders Liverpool CEO Moore has said that football must embrace new technologies to avoid losing younger fans to things lik
