Want my opinion?

AI isn't replacing creativity.

It's expanding what's possible.

Some things get faster, which frees up more time for actual creative thinking.

Other things become possible that simply weren't realistic before. Bigger ideas. Better execution.

Both of those are good for creatives.

We can stick our heads in the sand and resist change. We can publicly protest it and rally others around our fears.

But history tells us that rarely does progress slow down for anything or anyone.

Newspaper fought radio.

Radio fought TV.

TV fought cable.

Cable fought streaming.

We all know how those stories ended.

While traditional platforms argued that new technology was less authentic, audiences consistently moved toward convenience, accessibility, and expanded creative possibilities.

The real opportunity isn't deciding whether AI is coming.

It's figuring out how to use it in a way that still protects brand, emotion, storytelling, and human taste.

In sports especially, those things still matter tremendously.

The teams and brands that figure this out first will have a serious advantage. The ones that resist will be playing catch-up.

That's the game.
