The Fan Controlled Football League (FCFL), the first professional sports league where fans call all the shots, including on-field play calling, announced popular digital entertainment channel Kinda Funny as the latest team owner and Fan Captain. Founded by Greg Miller, Tim Gettys and Nick Scarpino, Kinda Funny has grown from small gaming podcast to renowned entertainment outlet, producing a wide range of podcasts and daily shows, hosting the industry’s largest events and much more. Kinda Funny joins Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, Richard Sherman, Marshawn Lynch and Prince Royce as FCFL Fan Captains.
“Our business is built on the idea that we aren’t making Kinda Funny for our Best Friends but that we’re making Kinda Funny with our Best Friends,” said Kinda Funny Co-Founder Greg Miller. “The opportunity to own a football team where our audience makes all the decisions is the most Kinda Funny thing we could ever do, and we can’t wait to get out there and make a fool of all the pretenders to the FCFL throne.”
“Look – the Co-Founders of the FCFL are legit gamers and Kinda Funny Best Friends,” said Patrick Dees, Chief Gaming Officer of the FCFL. “Everything Greg and Kinda Funny does is done FOR their fans and that’s what this league is all about. Personally, I wouldn’t sleep on this group to go all the way in season one. They are in it to win it all and frankly, the other captains and team owners better be ready.”
The Fan Controlled Football League (FCFL) is a real-world sports league where the fans are in charge. The FCFL puts fans in the general manager role for the first time in sports, allowing them to determine play calls, team branding, coaches, and the players that make the roster via a fan-run draft.
