DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -Serena and Venus Williams are getting a firsthand look at their favorite NFL team.
The tennis-playing sisters paid a visit to the Miami Dolphins’ complex Tuesday as the latest celebrities to own a small stake in the franchise. Their deal, first reported last week, was confirmed at a news conference overlooking the Dolphins’ practice field.
The Williamses live in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., about an hour’s drive from the Dolphins’ stadium. Their new role is significant in part because the NFL has no African-American majority team owner.
Musicians Gloria and Emilio Estefan and Marc Anthony recently bought small shares of the team. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross also forged a partnership with singer Jimmy Buffett.
