09/11/2021 Red Sox Legend David Ortiz Signs Multiyear FTX Deal

Former Boston Red Sox player David “Big Papi” Ortiz is the newest ambassador of crypto exchange FTX.

The Major League Baseball legend, who hit more than 500 home runs in his career and won three World Series titles with the Red Sox, has agreed to a multiyear deal with the exchange.

As part of the pact, Ortiz, who is now retired as a player, will be compensated in cryptocurrency through the FTX app and will release multiple collections of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), according to FTX’s press release.

FTX’s athlete ambassadors also include Tampa Bay Buccaneer quarterbackTom Bradyand Golden State Warriors guardStephen Curry. TV commercials referencing the Ortiz deal (and mentioning Brady and Curry) began running on Tuesday night during the first game of the 2021 World Series.

FTX will also be serving as a title sponsor for the David Ortiz Celebrity Golf Classic, and contribute donations to his charity, theDavid Ortiz’s Children’s Fund.

The crypto exchange, led by CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, is growing familiar with MLB. Its current sponsorships include patches of its logo on the league’s umpire uniforms and “Moonblasts,” where the exchange has donated $10,000 for every postseason home run hit over 425 feet.

David is an MLB legend, known for hitting home runs to the moon and his incredible personality,” Bankman-Fried said in the press release. “Most importantly, he is dedicated and passionate about helping others, so when he wanted to get into crypto, we were incredibly excited to help him start his journey. Now the world knows that Big Papi is in.”

Auto-Erotic Sphinx with Toys
In this image, a giant sphinx spoons itself in erotic play within an aquatic styled environment littered by various denizens. These creatures include symbols and archetypes both current and nostalgic–each inhabiting a rootedness within mass cultural adolescence. Among the roster are Servbots, video game inspired mushrooms, a Pacman-like creature, a distant sea faring rubber duck, creatures sporting the symbols reminiscent of popular anime, and a Pokemon-like rabbit (a novel incarnation of Ganesha indicated by the Shiva trident on its nose). In addition, a few sea creatures partly inspired by sea monsters of western antiquity conglomerate along the mid left side of the composition. The Sphinx itself is an amalgam of aquatic, fetishist, ancient Egyptian, and 80’s style adornments, both living, as in a clown fish, or material, such as a cassette tape. Nautically colored antennae receive somatic signals from the atmosphere, perhaps from the 8 Ball moon or giant ringed planet beyond.
