Legendary quarterback Tom Brady has acquired an ownership interest in the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces, the team announced Thursday.
wasn't sure what doLas Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis purchased the Aces before the 2021 season after the team relocated from San Antonio Texas in 2018. “Since I purchased the Aces, our goal has been to win on and off the court,” Davis said in the Aces' statement. “Tom Brady is a win not only for the Aces, and the WNBA, but for women’s professional sports as a whole.”"I am very excited to be part of the Las Vegas Aces organization," Brady said.
The announcement comes amid a series of wins for the Aces, which acquired two-time WNBA champion Candace Parker after being named the host of the 2023 All-Star game. In the statement, the 23-year NFL veteran added he has"always been a huge fan of women’s sports." Simultaneously, Aces star Kelsey Plum is a huge fan of Brady's. He sent the All-Star Game MVP a jersey and supportive note after she and the Aces brought Las Vegas a championship — a first for the franchise and the city."I admire the work that the Aces’ players, staff, and the WNBA continue to do to grow the sport and empower future generations of athletes.
Plum will play a large role in the mission Brady mentioned, as she told Yahoo Sports last year she submitted a statement this week to run for vice president of the WNBA Players Association .She's been vocal in the league-wide effort to advocate for issues facing players, such as improved travel.
