Platform fragmentation demands content tailoring, not one-size-fits-all strategy

Blank argues that sports leagues cannot succeed with uniform content strategies across all distribution channels; instead, they must deliberately tailor format, pacing, and storytelling to match each platform's unique audience behavior and technical constraints. This shift from broadcast-era thinking to platform-native adaptation is not merely tactical—it represents a fundamental realignment of how sports organizations conceive fan relationships.
