Aaron Rodgers ny delägare i Milwaukee Bucks
NFL stjärna går in i NBA lag.
Milwaukee Bucks annonserade innan hemma matchen mot Boston Celtics för två veckor sedan i NBA slutspelet att Aaron Rodgers har köpt en minoritetsandel i laget. Rodgers sa följade efter nyheten kommit:
"I have proudly called Wisconsin my home for the past 13 years, and I am thankful for the friendships and the opportunities I have been given to live and play here," Rodgers in a statement released by the team. "I am excited and honored to deepen my connection to the region by joining Wes Edens, Marc Lasry, Jamie Dinan, Mike Fascitelli and the ownership group of the Milwaukee Bucks. As a huge fan of the NBA and the sport of basketball, this is a dream come true for me, and I look forward to furthering my affinity for Wisconsin sports as a minority owner in a team I love and support."
Rodgers är den första aktiva NFL-spelaren som äger en del av en stor sportfranchise. Avslutningsvis avslutar jag med ett citat från Bucks ledningen.
"Aaron is a winner, a Wisconsin icon, and we are honored to welcome him to our partnership group of the Milwaukee Bucks," the Bucks ownership group said in a statement. "With our team in the playoffs and our new world-class arena opening this fall, it's an exciting time for this city and the Bucks. We are thrilled for Aaron to be with us."
