Fox Sports Executive Emphasizes the Importance of Belonging in Sports Business
April 21, 2025 - 04:13
Fox Sports executive Ben Valenta believes that live sports as a business is centered around a sense of "belonging." In a recent discussion, he argued that the traditional entertainment mindset surrounding sports is misguided. Valenta emphasized that sports are not just about entertainment; they are about creating a community and fostering connections among fans.
He pointed out that the emotional ties and shared experiences of fans are what truly drive the sports industry. Valenta stated that the power of live sports lies in its ability to unite people, creating a shared identity among fans that transcends mere entertainment value. This sense of belonging, he argues, is what keeps fans engaged and invested in their teams and communities.
Valenta's insights challenge the prevailing notion of sports as just another form of entertainment, advocating instead for a deeper understanding of the role that community and connection play in the sports landscape.
