The Most Realistic Simulation of the Sports and Entertainment Business!
 "As a professional sports executive of more than 30 years holding executive-level positions with franchises in the NFL, NBA, NHL, and professional baseball, I want to compliment Knowledge Matters for their outstanding simulation, Virtual Business – Sports. This is truly the most realistic simulation of the sports and entertainment business on the market and a great introduction to anyone who is interested in getting into this fascinating business. Knowledge Matters has scored a game-winning touchdown with their simulation of the many phases of running a professional football franchise."
