Sports is one thing that unites the entire world. Even countries who appears to be political and economic rivals are usually united around sports as evident during world tournament events like the World Cup and the Olympic Games.
I believe if cryptocurrency is adopted as payment method for sporting activities including domestic league games stadium tickets and more importantly, the most watched league event in the world such as the UEFA Champions League, cryptocurrency global adoption will be actualized even earlier than expected.
What are your opinions?
Of course sport activities unite the world irrespective of political differences and the adoption of crypto currency as a means of payment in that kind of environment will go a long way in entrenching mass adoption. However, don't forget that every activities of football is regulated by a world body that determines virtually everything that happen in that game, up to the stadium, the people, officials, advertisers, fans and even footballs. It might sound as if FIFA is an independent body on its own but its still being indirectly controlled by machineries of government that determines those who run it's activities.
So rather, than going after FIFA that respect local laws, the main deciding factor is government and when that happens beyond sports, all other uniting means will fall in line.
