30:40Why Football Is Bad Business
Save referenceExpectation Violation
Six famous crests sit under sponsor deals worth hundreds of millions, and the words still call football bad business. The money on screen argues with the verdict, and that argument is the click. If the numbers are that big, where does it all go wrong?
The title delivers the verdict that football is bad business.
The image maps huge sponsor figures onto famous club crests, which makes the verdict feel impossible.
Use this when your video's claim fights the surface facts. Put the real figures in the image and the harsh verdict in the title, and let viewers feel the contradiction themselves.

Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
