[AP=연합뉴스]
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Dae-ho Lee = Tom Brady (47), considered the best quarterback in the history of National Football League (NFL), joins the ranks of team owners.
Many media outlets, including the Associated Press and Reuters, reported on the 16th (Korean time) that Brady purchased a 5% stake in the NFL Las Vegas Raiders.
The NFL owners’ meeting unanimously approved the purchase of ‘legend’ Brady’s stake.
“I’m very honored and excited. I want to contribute to the organization in any way I can and better serve the fans,” Brady said via “I want to find ,” he said.
Mark Davis, majority owner of the Las Vegas club, said, “It’s an exciting day for the club. Although Brady cannot play, he will be able to help select and train future quarterbacks.”
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell also welcomed it, saying, “It’s great that Brady is investing in the NFL. It’s a sign that he has a deep interest in this sport and believes in its future.”
Brady, who played for the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers for 23 seasons, is a legendary player who won seven Super Bowls and won five MVP awards.
After announcing his retirement in February of last year, he became a hot topic by signing a huge 10-year contract with Fox Sports as a commentator worth a total of $375 million (about 511.1 billion won).
With Brady’s inauguration as owner of the Las Vegas team, his activities as a commentator were restricted.
According to NFL league rules, he cannot access other teams’ training, players, or coaching staff, and he cannot publicly criticize league officials or other teams.
In fact, except for Las Vegas, he was no longer able to hold the microphone at any of the team’s games.
Las Vegas, where Brady participated as an owner, was founded in 1960.
He is based in Oakland and Los Angeles, and has made Las Vegas his home since 2020.
After winning the Super Bowl three times in 1976, 1980, and 1983, the team has not been associated with a championship trophy for over 40 years.
