Sports content is delivered in a way that makes sense, is easy to find, and comes from the source that matters most - other passionate fans.
"We created FSM because we believe fantasy sports is about more than statistics, leagues, and drafts, but also about the social phenomenon that drives it-the passion of fans," said Jay Srinivasan, CEO. "This passion is evident in the conversations, insights, and sharing of information among sports fans. We exist to capture that experience, leverage the wisdom, and deliver unparalleled sports coverage to the world."
Not only are sports fans getting smarter, louder, and more passionate, but the traditional line that exists between fantasy sports and sports is growing thinner because of the growing participation opportunities for fans online. Fantasy Sports Matrix is on a mission to blur the line between fantasy and reality even further, and provide a homebase and identity for all sports fans at Fantasysportsmatrix.com.
