The rookie season for Angel Reese just keeps getting better and better. Her on-court brilliance resulted in her being Andraya Carter of ESPn’s top rookie of the opening week recently. now, she celebrates another major accomplishment off the court. Following the footsteps of Lakers’ superstar LeBron James, Reese is now a proud co-owner of a professional football franchise. She now owns a part in the DC Power Football Club of Washington in the United Soccer League.
The Bayou Barbie recently announced this collaboration by releasing an official statement which highlights the various reasons behind the decision. Reese says, “I’ve always wanted to impact sports, not just women’s basketball. I’ve always said I wanted to have part ownership of something. Obviously, basketball is my main thing, but growing up in the DMV area, I’ve loved sports, always, so being able to be a part of the Power FC soccer (team) is going to be so cool.”
In addition to this, the 2023 national champion clarified her inclination towards soccer. She further added, “I’m invested in soccer. A lot of my friends play soccer as well. I’m super excited for this partnership, and a lot of young black women don’t have these opportunities.”
This move comes thirteen years after nBA’s all-time leading scorer Bron decided to purchase a 2% ownership stake in Liverpool FC, becoming the only basketball athlete to participate in such a venture. His $6.5 million investment then made roughly a massive sum of $82 million three years ago. This happened as he moved his stake with Liverpool to a mere 1% investment in the Fenway Sports Group in 2021.
Angel Reese was announced as the first member of the ownership group. It will further include D.C. United, and various “community and business leaders” from the area as investors according to The Athletic. The DC Power Football Club is a part of the USL Super League which will commence its inaugural season in August this year. The league will comprise of 8 teams which is expected to expand with 8 more joining in 2025 or later.
Anyhow, Angel Reese doesn’t want to limit herself to DC Power and have higher ownership ambitions.
Angel Reese has her eyes set on the WNBA
Later, the three-time All-American forward also put forth her wish to own a WNBA franchise in the future. Reese expressed, “I know a lot more women are going to start owning more things. Hopefully, one day I can own my own team. That’s what I’m looking forward to. I want to own a WNBA team as well.” This might very well become a possibility for the W is said to be welcoming more teams in the coming days.
The 22-year-old valued at $1.8 million, through supposedly 17 NIL and recent deals like Reebok, and Beats by Dre, is sure set to grow in net worth. And clearly, Angel Reese is putting her money where her mouth is just like she shared the thought with her Instagram followers. With such huge steps to secure her future, she is definitely leaving a mark. It will be interesting to see what other ventures she steps into.
Until then, the Sky has many more games to win. Angel Reese being one of the trusted players for Teresa Weatherspoon has a lot on her plate. But she is handling the fame and the money just fine.
