When most of North America was just getting up and getting ready on Thursday morning, the North Carolina Courage announced that tennis superstar Naomi Osaka had become the first investor in the team since it was relocated to North Carolina in 2017.
Like most people who saw the news this morning, I thought I was dreaming but after double-checking Osaka’s social media and the Courage website, I saw that the dream was actually a reality.
On her social media post about the announcement, Osaka noted that this investment in the Courage came from women in the past who had invested in her and how they helped her reach the level that she is in today.
