First there was Derek Jeter's "The Player's Tribune", backed by venture capital.

Now, the NFLPA is starting their own video channel.

NFL players have decided to provide a forum for themselves anyway. On Monday, the NFL Players Association announced the creation of a new company geared toward creating original content focusing on not just football players, but athletes in all sports. The venture is called Athlete Content & Entertainment (or ACE Media), and will initially be powered by the 1,800 athletes the NFLPA has at its disposal. The union will be a majority shareholder in the company.

Interesting. Wonder if the NHLPA might do more, or join in. A direct source of revenue that they don't have to share with the owners (no team logos, then).
