Serena and Venus Williams pump money into NFL
Tennis superstars Serena and Venus Williams have pumped some of their hard-earned millions into the NFL.
The Florida-based sisters now own a joint stake in the Miami Dolphins football team, alongside fellow celebrities Jennifer Lopez and Gloria Estefan.
They have become the first ever female African-Americans to have signed such a deal with an NFL franchise. It is not known how much money they’ve ploughed into the team.
“I am so excited to be part of such a renowned organisation,” said 2009 Wimbledon champion Serena.
“We’re really honored, Venus and I in tennis have tried to do so much for the sport. We’re really excited to even have this opportunity.”
Venus and Serena live in Palm Beach Gardens, about an hour’s drive from the Dolphins’ stadium.
Venus added: “To have this opportunity is really where our heart is. We’re South Florida girls. When we get off the road, this is where we come home to. When we come home to Dolphins games, it’s going to be exciting.”
