Staks™ Tackles the Sports Industry, Launches NFTs in Partnership With ‘The Sports Professor’ Rick Horrow
Nashville-based Staks has partnered with "The Sports Professor," Rick Horrow, celebrating the revised and expanded paperback edition of his book The Sport Business Handbook by creating a series of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) based on the book's "Breakthrough Moments" list of 50 of the most significant sports-related events that helped define the industry. This partnership marks another step in Staks' development as a provider of digital economies that serve key constituents, including live music and sports venues, concessions & merchandise sales, teams, athletes, performers, and fans.
A New Market for Fans
Scott Pranger, CEO and founder of Staks, sees Web 3.0 digital assets as an essential element in the development of digital economies for fans and entities alike. "The market is exploding, and the music, entertainment, and sports industries have great potential with digital assets for bringing the fan experience to the next level," Pranger said.
Global research firm Verified Market Research reports that the NFT market is projected to grow in value to $231 billion by 2030.
Staks has teamed up with studio TrashTalkArt to develop original sports artwork collections and the associated NFTs covering several distinct areas. This includes the Horrow Sports Ventures' "Breakthrough Moments" list of 50 of the most significant sports-related moments that changed the industry, the TrashTalkArt "Rival Soup" series, and Student-Athlete specific original artwork & NFTs for NIL (name, image, & likeness) sales purposes.
Sports Professor Rick Horrow Joins the Team
"The Sports Professor," as Horrow is known, is one of the sports industry's most prolific deal makers, having been the architect of more than 100 deals with a combined worth over $20 billion. He is a popular instructor, speaker, writer, and commentator on the business, law, and politics of sports. Rick is also the lead author and editor of The Sport Business Handbook, whose contributors include over 100 leaders throughout the multi-billion-dollar sports industry.
Rick serves as a Staks Advisory Board Member to help guide and shape the company's overall strategy and approach to the market. "Having Rick's experience and understanding of the industry is a huge asset to Staks' approach to the needs of sports players, organizations, and professionals and how we meet them," Pranger noted.
The Future of the Market and Staks' Role in It
UK-based research firm Juniper Research published their report on industry trends, estimating that the NFT market will climb from 24 million global transactions in 2022 to 40 million by 2027. Art and collectibles are predicated as heavy drivers of this growth, something that Staks is prepared to utilize.
Combined with Staks' cutting-edge mobile payments platform and digital wallet, Staks is also creating new and patent-pending cryptocurrency and NFT solutions for a future where fan engagement is king in both the sports and live music industries. To deliver on this vision, the company is offering novel ways for fans to show their passion by offering greater incentives than what the market currently does with cryptocurrency rewards and digital collectibles.
A pillar of their approach with web 3.0 services is to build on the pre-existing experience rather than inventing the wheel from the ground up. This includes Staks non-fungible token stadium seats and tickets. By minting stadium seats and tickets into NFTs, Staks is also putting money back in the hands of venue owners and operators with guaranteed authenticity of ownership and smart contracts that ensure royalties for aftermarket sales will always go to the original rights holders.

BOMB Money has announced a major step forward with their upcoming blockchain and mobile app releases. With Ankr AppChains, an end-to-end engineering solution for creating and launching app-specific blockchains, Ankr will build and power the new BOMB Chain used to support the BOMB Mobile App. This alliance will allow for the highest levels of transparency and security for all users of BOMB Money products.

The app will be powered by BOMB Chain, our own custom-built blockchain whose native token, BOMB, is algorithmically pegged to Bitcoin - the first of its kind! Grants will be available to encourage and enable developers to build on BOMB Chain. Both products will be released Q4 2022.
Ankr's solution includes integrating the new BOMB Chain with Chainscanner, a new platform where all BOMB Money users can view all on-chain information and transactions while easily participating in any upcoming native staking or governance features.
BOMB Money is offering early investors an opportunity to invest in the blockchain's success with its venture capital program to support both product releases. BOMB Money is looking to raise an additional $1.5M with a lucrative VC and private investment proposal. Details can be found here: https://www.bombmoney.com/investor-relations

9/11 Family Members, Survivors to Hold Press Conference to Protest Saudi-Funded LIV Golf Series at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami
MIAMI - October 26, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
A group of 9/11 family members and survivors from the organization 9/11 Justice will hold a press conference vocalizing their objections to the Saudi Arabian-funded LIV Golf series and its tournament being held at the nearby Trump National Doral Golf Club on October 28-30.
The 9/11 family members will address their views and contentions, which include:
- The Saudi government's role in supporting the 9/11 terrorist attacks, including about recently declassified FBI investigative documents;
- The implications of Saudi efforts to "sportswash" its egregious past;
- The willing complicity of professional golfers choosing to take Saudi payouts and look the other way on the country's reported human rights abuses and role in the worst terrorist attacks on American soil.
"As yet another Saudi-funded golf tournament takes place in America this week, Americans must understand that this LIV Golf series, hosted next at Trump Doral, is yet another attempt by the Kingdom to use the beloved game of golf to sportswash its abhorrent behavior and avoid accountability for the murder of my dad and thousands of others," said Brett Eagleson of 9/11 Justice. "The evidence of Saudi government officials' participation in the 9/11 attacks on America could not be clearer, and this event could not be more insulting. That's why we're speaking out and will continue to as the Saudis fund LIV Golf events in America."
Press Conference Details:
When: Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022, 9:00 a.m. ET
Where: Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, 3570 NW 74th Avenue, Miami, FL 33122
Who: Numerous 9/11 family members and survivors who have flown to Miami to express their outrage. Speakers at the press conference and those available for interviews include:
- Brett Eagleson, President of 9/11 Justice and son of John Bruce Eagleson, who was murdered in the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
- Tim Frolich, a 9/11 survivor who was on the 80th floor and was severely injured when the South Tower collapsed.
- Juliette Scauso, daughter of FDNY Hazmat Co. 1 Firefighter Dennis Scauso, who was murdered in the evacuation efforts of the South Tower.
- Dennis McGinley, whose older brother Danny was murdered in the collapse of the WTC South Tower.
