Angel Reese Joins DC Power Football Club Ownership Group
Talent can get you in the door; but hard work and intelligence will keep you where you wish to be. One of the WNBA’s brightest stars is spreading her wings and dipping into team ownership territory. This is an area many athletes have gone into including: Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Grant Hill, Candace Parker, Sue Bird, and Tom Brady. Now, the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese is joining the DC Power Football Club ownership group to help enhance and grow women’s sports in a brand new way.
Investing in sports is big business. While athletes do make money due to their sports contracts and brand sponsorship deals. Most who go the Ownership route often increase their wealth by numbers larger than when they played their actual sport of choice.
Nevertheless, adding former and current athletes to ownership groups is extremely smart. They bring their fandoms to the table, plus expertise. They know what it takes to really win and succeed. Thus, making their decisions not just calculated guesses; but outcomes resulting from real life experiences.
Furthermore, Jason Levien, who is the D.C. United CEO and Co-Chairman is happy to have Reese onboard. He states,
“Angel’s decision to be a founding investor alongside us in Power FC is groundbreaking. As a Maryland native, Angel is so passionate about being a catalyst for positive change in women’s sports in the DMV as well as globally while inspiring the next generation of female athletes. We’re looking forward to her partnership in the boardroom as an equity partner.”
Moreover, Angel is also excited to be a part of women’s soccer as well. Via social media platform X, she says,
“So grateful & blessed for this new ownership! Looking forward to creating new opportunities for women in professional soccer. I’ve always had the desire to invest in a local team as a Maryland native!”
