Meanwhile, in recent times, a couple of NFL teams have been open to crypto exposure via sponsorship deals. In mid-April 2022, Blockchain.com <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/blockchain-com-inks-sponsorship-deal-with-the-nfls-dallas-cowboys\/\">partnered<\/a> with the Dallas Cowboys and in May 2021, Grayscale Investments became the official digital currency asset management <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/nfl-taste-crypto-grayscale-partners-new-york-giants\/\">partner<\/a> for the New York Giants.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, a number of NFL players including <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/nfl-football-star-odell-beckham-jr-giving-away-1-million-in-bitcoin-take-new-salary-in-btc\/\">Odell Beckham Jr.<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/new-york-giants-saquon-barkley-convert-endorsement-revenue-bitcoin\/\">Saquon Barkley<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/paid-in-bitcoin-nfl-offensive-tackle-russell-okung-considered-the-highest-paid-in-the-league\/\">Russell Okung<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/green-bay-packers-running-back-aaron-jones-joins-crypto-exchange-ftxs-ambassador-team\/\">Aaron Jones<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/popular-celebrities-selling-nft-collections-raking-in-millions\/\">Patrick Mahomes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/opensea.io\/collection\/rob-gronkowski-championship-series-nfts\">Rob \u2018Gronk\u2019 Gronkowski<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/seven-time-super-bowl-champion-tom-brady-gives-a-bitcoin-to-buccaneers-fan\/\">Tom Brady<\/a> have either invested in cryptocurrencies, backed non-fungible token (NFT) projects, participated in crypto giveaways, or have been paid in bitcoin. Besides the NFL, other professional sports teams have jumped into crypto as well. In mid-March 2021, Major League Baseball\u2019s (MLB) <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/pro-baseball-team-the-oakland-as-plans-to-hold-bitcoin-obtained-from-ticket-sales\/\">Oakland Athletics<\/a> (A\u2019s) <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/mlb-club-the-oakland-as-is-now-accepting-one-bitcoin-for-2021-season-passes\/\">accepted<\/a> bitcoin for full season suites.<\/p>\n<p>During the announcement, Bitwallet\u2019s CEO John T. Perrone said the company was honored to offer Texans fans the ability to use crypto. \u201cDigital currency has become a primary means of payment and by partnering with BitWallet, the Texans are leading the way in the NFL,\u201d Perrone remarked. Founded in 1999, the Houston Texans is one of four NFL teams that have never made it to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article__body__tags-related__tags\">\n<h6 class=\"article__body__tags-related__title\">\nTags in this story<br \/>\n<\/h6>\n<div class=\"article__body__tags\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/aaron-jones\/\">Aaron Jones<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/bitcoin-btc\/\">Bitcoin (BTC)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/bitcoin-cash-bch\/\">bitcoin cash BCH<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/bitwallet\/\">Bitwallet<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/bitwallets-ceo\/\">Bitwallet\u2019s CEO<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/blockchain-com\/\">Blockchain.com<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/cryptocurrencies\/\">Cryptocurrencies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/dallas-cowboys\/\">Dallas Cowboys<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/ethereum-eth\/\">Ethereum (ETH)<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/grayscale-investments\/\">Grayscale Investments<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/houston-texans\/\">Houston Texans<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/tag\/john-t-perrone\/\">John T.
