This is rather big news in the sports/egaming world. Fortnite is the biggest game to hit society in recent memory. No matter where you are kids are doing some sort of Fortnite based dance. Now the NFL is getting involved with a colaboration where players can use NFL skins for their characters.
This may not sound like a big deal, but it really is. This is a genius move. The NFL is hurting when it comes to viewership. It also is hurting when it comes to future generations taking an interest in the game. Parents seem to be weary of letting their children play football, therefore less kids can take an interest. What this move does is it allows kids to gain an interest in football while playing their favorite game. It's a win-win, two birds one stone situation for the NFL.
