The star of one Seattle football team now has an ownership stake in Seattle’s other football team.
It was announced on Tuesday that Seahawks QB Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara have been added to the ownership group for Major League Soccer’s Seattle Sounders FC. This is Wilson’s first investment into another pro sports team, although it’s widely known that he basically owns the Carolina Panthers.
“Seattle means so much to me and Ciara,” Wilson said in the official press release. “We’re fired up about being part of the Sounders for a long, long time, having ownership in the Sounders and continuing to build that winning culture.
