Retired NFL player Russell Okung has announced the launch of his flag football league, Bitball, where players will be paid in Bitcoin. Okung aims to create a league where players earn Bitcoin, fans can own real stakes, and communities can build wealth. The idea for Bitball came after Okung left the NFL and unsuccessfully tried to convince league owners of Bitcoin's merits. The inaugural Bitball game will take place in Abu Dhabi on December 10, and players will be paid in Bitcoin. Okung believes Bitcoin represents freedom and sees potential in building assets on the cryptocurrency. He also emphasized the symbolic impact of Donald Trump's support for Bitcoin and envisions a future where other sports leagues adopt Bitcoin as payment for athletes.
