There is at least as much attention to the commercials at the Superbowl as there is to the game, with an extra dash of Swift this year. With a rate of $7 million for a 30-second spot, attention to the commercials is not surprising. It's nice to see that the era seems to be over when players put their health on the line like dumbasses in the NFL, only to go bankrupt within a few years.
Football players in general are not yet as active as investors as basketball players, especially the players of the Golden State Warriors, who have their home base in the Valhalla of technology. Kevin Durant, for example, has already invested in over 100 startups. Still, players of the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs are also making their mark, and Crunchbase published this overview about them.
