People who are in plays or movies are co-dependent on the success of their castmates. Are they not entertainers?
Why do YOU watch and follow the Flyers or any other team if not for entertainment? UD Arena holds 14k for what purpose? Graduations? Whether college or professional sport, if there were no spectators, no merchandising, and no broadcast money, would teams exist?
Like it or not, the sports business is entertainment. If no fans, then no money, no teams and no business. NIL allows players to cash in on their celebrity in that entertainment business.
