ANALYST AND PRESIDENT AND CEO
OF LIFE FLIPPED GREAT TO HAVE
YOU ON ERIC HOW ARE
PROFESSIONAL TEAM TEAMS AND
LEAGUES ADAPTING TO THIS NEW
NORMAL.
>> YOU KNOW IT'S AMAZING
THESE PRO TEAMS HAVE REALLY
KIND OF FOLLOWED SUIT AND WE
STARTED OFF WITH MAJOR LEAGUE
BASEBALL AND OF COURSE MAJOR
LEAGUE SOCCER IN
THE BUBBLE, IF THE NBA STARTING
OFF USING ALL THIS CONSTANT
TESTING TECHNOLOGY GETTING
RESULTS BACK AND WE'VE SEEN
ESPECIALLY IN THE BUBBLE
TECHNOLOGY HAS HELPED GET
RESULTS
OUT FAST AND 0 THAT'S RIGHT 0
NEGATIVE ON 0 POSITIVE TEST
RESULT. WHY THE NBA'S BEEN
THERE SINCE JULY
SAME WITH MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER
HAD SOME BALL, BUT TECHNOLOGY
IS REALLY PLAYING A KEY TO GET
THESE PLAYERS OUT FAST AND IN
FACT, PRO SPORTS HAS NOW HELPED
AS WE SAW THIS MORNING, THE BIG
12 COME OUT AND BE ABLE TO
RESUME THE SEASON HERE IN
OCTOBER FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL.
WE'RE HEARING IT GOING ON
EVERYWHERE SO TECH IS HELP
PRO SPORTS, WHICH IS LEADING
OVER TO HELPING OTHER SPORTS IN
OTHER LEAGUES LIKE COLLEGES.
WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE MONEY
THESE BIG OWNERSHIPS HAVE
TO GO OUT THERE DO THIS SO IT'S
BEEN SUCH A BIG HELP TO BE ABLE
TO GET THE PLAYERS ON THE FIELD
FAST
AND SAFELY AND HAVING WEEK ONE
OF FOOTBALL JUST DONE FOR THE
NFL. IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE THE
TEST RESULTS COME BACK THE TEST
OVER 3600 PLAYERS THE NIGHT
BEFORE WE'RE ABLE TO PUT BACK
THAT EVERYBODY WAS GOOD
TO GO AND PLAY SAFELY ON THE
FIRST WEEK OF IT IS INCURRED.
>> AND NICE TO JUST GET SPORTS
BACK IN OUR LIVES ON HOW
THIS ATTACK PLAY A ROLE IN
KEEPING SPORTS FANS AND
POTENTIALLY EVEN IN THE
STADIUM.
>> WELL THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION
NOW AS WE'VE SEEN IF YOU
WATCHED FOOT WELL AT ALL OR
ACTUALLY IF YOU WATCH THE NBA
BUBBLE, YOU SEE THE ZOOM
CALLERS ON THE SIDE SO TECH IS
CAPPED PLAYERS INVOLVED ALSO
THE SIDELINE CAMPS NOW THE BEST
QUESTION YOU HAVE IS THE
MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION THAT
EVERY OWNERSHIP GROUP HAS BEEN
TALKING ABOUT AND WE'VE SEEN
SOME TEAMS BE ABLE
TO PUT FANS IN THE STANDS WHICH
IS AMAZING WHAT THEY'RE GOING
TO ABLE TO DO IS STARTING ALL
THE TESTS PLAYERS
AND TEST FANS AS THEY COME
RENO'S OR STADIUMS SO WE CAN
GET FASTER TEST RESULTS SO WE
CAN START FILLING THOSE DIEM UP
PAST THE
20% CAPACITY, THE NFL CURRENTLY
ALLOWS AND OF COURSE THE NBA
AND WNBA WOULD REALLY LOVE TO
HAVE FANS BACK IN THEIR ARENAS
WHEN THEY RESUME PLAY OUTSIDE
OF THEIR PERSPECTIVE
BUBBLES HERE NEXT SEASON, SO
IT'S GOING TO BE FULL BODY
SCANS THAT YOU CAN SEE IF YOU
TRAVEL CERTAIN BIGGER AIRPORTS
HAVE THEM INTERNATIONALLY YOU
SEE THEM EVERYWHERE, BUT THESE
FULL BODY SCANS THAT ARE ABLE
TO TAKE YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE
RIGHT AWAY REALLY BRINGING BACK
IN BECAUSE YOU GOT TO REMEMBER
FANS OR WHAT ARE THE BREAD AND
BUTTER SEASON TICKET HOLDERS OR
THE EVERYTHING FOR THESE
PROTEINS TO CONTINUE ON AND
WHEN THEY'RE LOSING OVER
4 BILLION DOLLARS. YOU BETTER
BELIEVE FAST TECH THAT WE CAN
GET IN OUR HANDS AND GO WITH SO
THINK BEACON TECHNOLOGY BUT FOR
COVID TESTING IS THE WAY THAT
WE'RE GOING A LOT OF BIG
RESULTS ARE COMING OUT ALREADY
SEEING IT WITH OUR PHONES SO
IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY EXCITED
TO SEE THESE TESTING RESULTS
COME IN AND TECH IS WORKING SO
HARD RIGHT NOW WE'RE SEEING IT
IN PLAY RIGHT NOW WITH THE NFL
AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE THE OTHER
TEAMS ARE JUMPING INTO IT SO
THEY CAN PUT FANS BACK IN
THE STANDS.
>> HOW IS VIDEO TECHNOLOGY IN
SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
HELPING TO CREATE A SAFER
ENVIRONMENT.
>> YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S
INTERESTING BECAUSE NUMBER ONE
BEING ABLE TO HAVE THIS TACK
WHERE
WE CAN SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE
DOING I MEAN IT'S SO FUNNY YOU
BRING UP THE THE VIDEO
TECHNOLOGY THAT IS EVERYTHING
THEY ARE TESTING THAT ROUND THE
CLOCK BECAUSE THAT IS THE
FASTEST WAY JUST TO TEST THE
BASIC THINGS LIKE
BODY TEMPERATURE A LOT OF
PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA OF YOU KNOW
BODY TEMPERATURE THEY ALSO HAVE
0 IDEA ON HOW TO MOCK OF
MONITOR HOW MANY FOLKS ARE
IN THE ACTUAL STANDS RIGHT
BECAUSE THERE HAS TO BE AN
OCCUPANCY BUT IT STARTED OUT
PEOPLE DON'T PAY ATTENTION ALSO
YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE
TO SEE WEARING MASKS WHO'S
WEARING MASKS WHO IS NOT WE SAW
COUPLE NFL COACHES, CATCH THEM
EAT IN
WEEK ONE. THEY DIDN'T HAVE
THEIR MASKS ON AND THEY
ACTUALLY WENT PUBLIC BEFORE THE
NFL RECORD AND OF THEM SAYING I
APOLOGIZE FOR NOT WEARING THE
CAMERAS WORK WITH JUST SEE THE
COACHES NOT
WEARING IT CALL OUT SOME FANS
THAT WERE DOING IT WE SAW IN
COLLEGE FOOTBALL ALSO
SO VIDEO IS PAYING PLAYED A BIG
PART OF KEEPING THE SOCIAL
DISTANCING KEEPING THE FANS AND
THE PLAYERS SAFE.
>> IT'S GREAT STUFF AND IT'S
GOOD TO SEE SO SPORTS BACK IN
ACTION AND AS YOU MENTIONED THE
BIG 10. BACK PLAYING IN OCTOBER
VERY EXCITING.
