Will Taylor Swift Perform at Super Bowl Halftime Show? NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell Says…
It looks like Mr. Beast didn’t actually take his sports purchase to the endzone.
The YouTuber—real name Jimmy Donaldson—raised eyebrows when he uploaded a video titled “I bought the NFL,” in which he and the organization’s commissioner Roger Goodell spoke at a press conference announcing the news.
“Today marks an historic first,” Goodell said in the clip shared to YouTube Sept. 3. “The NFL is now under the ownership of one individual, Jimmy Donaldson, Mr. Beast.”
And Mr. Beast reiterated the update when he took the podium shortly after, saying, “That is right, I officially own the NFL.”
“I think it’s time for some changes,” he continued. “So, for my very first change, we are going to be changing the roster from 53 players to 54, and giving that new roster spot to a YouTuber.”
The video then cut to several YouTubers such as Haley Baylee, iShowSpeed, Dude Perfect and Brooke Monk being drafted to various NFL teams and attending the squads’ training camps.
