What is Player!?
Player! is a platform where anyone can create their favorite sport, support it, and get excited about it. Over the past 50 years, the sports industry has developed through the trinity of mass sports, mass media, and mass sponsors. Sports with few fans cannot withstand national broadcasting, lack mass media coverage, lack mass sponsors, and become increasingly minor sports. It was during the Showa and Heisei eras that a large disparity arose between mass sports and minor sports. Is softball really a minor sport for the hard-working softball players and their mothers who support them? Player! proposes a lifestyle that includes “my sports” rather than “mass sports.” Find your favorite city, try living in that city, fall in love with that city, and live there.
I feel like it’s kind of fun to contribute to livening up the city. As for sports, it would be fun if you could find your own favorite sport, fall in love with that sport, and contribute to making that sport more popular. Player! creates a world where everyone can create their own favorite sport, support it, and have fun. Bringing sports diversity to this world. →Player!
