Serena Williams is among the investors involved in a new Los Angeles based women's team which will compete in the National Women's Soccer League.
Williams is part of the ownership group called Angel City; which also includes high profile actresses including Eva Longoria, Natalie Portman and Jennifer Garner.
Her link to the consortium is her husband Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit. Portman said in an interview with the Associated Press the following about the team who hope to join the NWSL in time for the 2022 season.
"I think it's so important to have role models and and heroes that are women for kids — both boys and girls — to see. And, it's just such an incredible sport in that it really is a team sport."
"You see one woman's success and all the others are cheering her on because one woman's success is the whole team's success."

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
