Serena Williams and her daughter join a slew of celebs including Eva Longoria, Jessica Chastain, and Jennifer Garner who helped fund the new L.A. team.
The founding of the team follows, according to the NWSL, a fan-driven demand for not just a women's team in the region but also a team founded by powerful and influential women within the sports, tech, and media industries.
"I am proud to be a part of this wonderful group working to bring a women's professional football club to Los Angeles. Chiefly, because I'm a fan of the game, but also because I believe there is massive potential for the sport and it's been undervalued by too many people for far too long," said Ohanian in a statement."As someone who spends hours kicking around a football with my two-year-old daughter, I want her to have a front row seat to this revolution.
