NEW YORK, May 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Champs Sports
today announces the launch of two new digital franchises, "Out of
Control" and "Fouled Out." The episodic content will be hosted by
social media influencers Jesser and B Dot.
"We are always exploring new ways to connect with the many
facets of our customers' passions, including sport, lifestyle, art
and gaming," says Jason Brown, Vice
President of Marketing, Champs Sports. "We are excited about the
new partnerships with Jesser and B Dot as we continue to grow and
evolve our offering of digital content."
Champs Sports' first-ever gaming series, "Out of
Control," will put host, Jesser, head-to-head against top
professional athletes, celebrities and pop culture personalities in
a spirited gaming match, inclusive of NBA 2K, Fortnite and more.
"I have always been a huge fan of Champs Sports, and I am so
excited to partner with them as their host of Out of Control," says
gaming influencer and NBA 2K star,
Jesser. "Tune in for some tough competition as I take on the best
undercover gamers of today!"
In the next episode, Jesser takes on NBA star, De'Aaron Fox. The
duo talk sports, gaming and pop culture, with a side of trash talk,
all while rocking the latest styles from Champs Sports. The pilot
episode – which first aired last December – featured E-Sportscaster
D1 and rapper YBN Almighty Jay. "Out of Control" will air bi-weekly
on Champs TV.
"Fouled Out" is hosted exclusively by YouTube sensation, B
Dot, and draws inspiration from timely social media content to
provide hilarious and uplifting commentary of the best sports clips
and memes of the month. Focused on sports-culture moments, the
monthly franchise will highlight categories such as "best dunk,"
"best handshake," "best end zone dance" and more.
"I've built my platform by combining comedy with sports-culture,
and I am excited to continue delivering that to young sports fans
through Champs Sports' new series, Fouled Out," says comedian, B
Dot. "Get ready for some laughs, and if you're lucky enough, you
may get featured!"
Champs Sports airs three additional digital series on Champs TV:
Her Take, Sneaker Icon and Illustrated. Her Take is a
women's-focused content franchise that features various female
hosts and guests discussing fashion, beauty and a
female-perspective on sneaker culture. Sneaker Icon features rich
storytelling on the history behind iconic sneaker silhouettes and
how these styles earned their staying power in culture. Illustrated
highlights the intersection where sneaker culture and art collide.
