Zack Ward — the actor who played Scut Farkus, the bully who wore the ridiculous raccoon hat in the 1983 holiday classic “A Christmas Story” — has a brand-new gig.

He’s CEO of Global Sports Financial Exchange, which former NHL All-Star Bernie Nicholls has called a “revolutionary technology and platform.” Nicholls praised the novel way the site and app give fans of the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB a “fantasy” sporting chance to buy and sell their favorite teams.

Fans can earn money each time their team wins. “We want the fans and the general public to trade sports teams like stocks,” the 47-year-old actor and businessman said. “We believe sports is an asset class.”

Sport “stocks” on the California-based Global Sports Financial Exchange, licensee of the exchange’s technology created by AllSportsMarket, are certainly not the equivalent of equity shares on the Big Board. But both “asset classes” offer some mighty highs and lows. On the Sports Exchange, fans can collect dividends and short a stock. Fans sign up using a Paypal account at allsportsmarket.com.
