Justin Papadakis (@JustinPapadakis), COO & Chief Real Estate Officer for the United Soccer League (USL),

Justin Papadakis (@JustinPapadakis), COO and Chief Real Estate Officer for the United Soccer League (USL), takes us inside the business of the growing U.S. soccer league. Papadakis is the first executive in U.S. sports with the Chief Real Estate title. We discuss the USL's business model and how the league is using their soccer franchises as the anchor to develop real estate around their stadiums. In our sports business headlines of the week, we examine Deshaun Watson's suspension by the NFL, 2-Time Master champion Bubba Watson’s jump to LIV Golf and we reflect on the life and legacy of Boston Celtics great Bill Russell, who passed away this week at age 88.
