Summary:
Opendorse expands NIL marketplace with 20+ new sport categories
Why It Matters:

- Updated the homepage title to "The NIL Deals Platform for Athletes, Fans, & Brands."
- Added a "Get started" call-to-action button in the hero section.
- Introduced new sorting and filtering options for browsing athletes.
- Expanded the footer with dedicated links for Athletes, Brands, Sponsors, and Schools.
- Added a "View all" link for exploring team profiles.
