The Baller League leans on that concept with the help of celebrity names. KSI, the YouTuber turned part-time boxer, will head up the UK league, with IShowSpeed, who tends to get where water can't at major sporting events, taking charge of the US operation.

The article from The Athletic, published on November 26, 2024, discusses the Baller League, a new venture in the world of influencer-driven sports entertainment.

It's designed to engage fans through a mix of competitive sports, entertainment, and the unique personalities of the participants. The league not only showcases the athletic abilities of these influencers but also leverages their online popularity to attract a new demographic to sports events, creating a hybrid form of entertainment that blends the excitement of sports with the interactive and viral nature of social media.
