Marshawn Lynch has made sure to stay active in retirement, especially in Oakland. On Friday, the Oakland Roots Sports Club announced that Lynch has joined the club’s ownership group. According to the release, the Oakland native joins Oakland Roots as an owner and partner on a new initiative to bring financial literacy and freedom to Oakland families.
Here’s what Lynch had to say about the amazing news.
“Growing up in The Town, we always could count on the pro teams in this area but with most of those ones that I grew up with gone, I knew the minute I heard about the opportunity to join Oakland Roots, it wasn’t just something I wanted to do, it was something I had to do.
