Tom Brady’s decision to become a part-owner of the Las Vegas Aces is a significant move for both the WNBA and women’s professional sports as a whole.
Brady’s involvement in the Aces is just the latest in a series of moves he’s made since retiring from the NFL. In addition to owning a Major League Pickleball team, he’s also invested in several companies, including cryptocurrency exchange FTX and digital art marketplace NFT Genius.
But Brady’s interest in women’s sports goes beyond just being a savvy businessman. In his statement about becoming a part-owner of the Aces, he talked about his love for women’s sports and how it began at a young age when he would watch his older sisters play.
“My sisters were by far the best athletes in our house,” he said. “We celebrated their accomplishments together as a family, and they remain a great inspiration to me.”
Brady’s involvement in the Aces is a win for the WNBA and women’s professional sports. It’s a sign that the league is gaining more recognition and respect, and that athletes like Brady see the value in investing in women’s sports. With his help, the Aces will undoubtedly continue to be a force on the court and a leader in the fight for equality and recognition in women’s sports.
