Penn State Football is joining the bandwagon of crypto scams and grifts, announcing a new program Wednesday that will allow fans to buy digital \u201ctokens\u201d so they can access \u201cexclusive experiences\u201d and \u201cunique benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Penn State, along with Michigan State, Maryland, Texas A&M and LSU, is partnering with Socios, a blockchain platform that allows a sports team to monetize (scam) its fan base with fake digital assets known as \u201ctokens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States is the most important sports market in the world, and college sports represents one of the most passionate and culturally significant fandoms anywhere,\u201d Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO and founder of Socios.com, said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the first Fan Tokens in U.S. college sports and represent not only a new frontier but also a new iteration of the established asset class.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dear lord. As if America needs another \u201casset class.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fan tokens are basically worthless. It appears fans will be able to use them to purchase Penn State merchandise, but there is no underlying value to them. The worth is simply derived \u201cfrom how much fans value being able to participate in the club and earn unique benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, if you buy a bunch of tokens, the value holds, but then suddenly, big holders sell theirs – what is known as a rug pull – and the token\u2019s value plummets; you are stuck holding pieces of digital trash.<\/p>\n

This is just the latest example of how sports are being destroyed by bloodsucking vampires who want to leech every single penny out of teams, players, and fans. Of course, fans and players still care about the actual sport. But upper management and other third parties only care about making money. To them, it\u2019s one big cash grab.

Worse yet, many American men already suffer from debilitating online sports gambling addictions. Throwing scammy meme coins into the mix is like giving a crack addict a lifetime supply of clean pipes. <\/p>\n
