YouTube star MrBeast recently sparked excitement with a video claiming he bought the NFL. Fans quickly reacted online.
In the video, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell jokingly announced that the league was now owned by MrBeast. The YouTuber humorously said he would add content creators to NFL teams.
The clip featured popular creators like iShowSpeed, Dude Perfect, and Valkyrae joining various NFL teams. Fans found the concept entertaining and shared it widely across social media.
However, the truth is far less dramatic. MrBeast did not actually buy the NFL. The video was part of a promotional campaign for YouTube’s live broadcast of the NFL Week 1 game.
The game, featuring the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs, took place in São Paulo, Brazil. This marks the first time a regular-season NFL game streamed live for free on YouTube.
The skit successfully highlighted YouTube’s growing role in sports broadcasting while generating excitement for the game. MrBeast’s comedic approach captured media attention and went viral quickly.
In reality, the NFL remains a collective league. Each of the 32 teams is owned by individual owners, while the Green Bay Packers are publicly owned by a board of directors. Commissioner Roger Goodell manages the league as CEO.
Fans are encouraged to watch the upcoming game and enjoy the unique collaboration between YouTube creators and NFL stars. While MrBeast’s “purchase” was a joke, it brought fresh attention to the NFL and its global appeal.
The video demonstrates how creative promotions can engage audiences and generate buzz for major sporting events like the NFL season.
