Alexis Ohanian is a big supporter of women’s soccer
Alexis Ohanian has always been an ardent supporter of women’s sports. Being husband to one of the biggest women’s athletes in the world, Ohanian understands the importance of supporting women’s sports. He not only supports but believes women’s sports has the potential to compete with their men’s counterpart. Hence, he supports women’s soccer in America.
The Reddit co-founder is the leading investor in Angel City FC. Ohanian has also explained the rationale behind his decision to put money on women’s soccer.
Ten or 15 years from now, when people look at Angel City FC, I think they’ll actually see this one as being the most obvious. There’s a million people on Twitter right now who are going to say no one watches women’s sports. The message I have for them is facts don’t care about your feelings. The data shows Americans would rather watch two women in the U.S. Open.The American Entrepreneur argues. (H/T: Los Angeles Times)
Alexis Ohanian also dreams of seeing his daughter Olympia play soccer on the biggest stage but only if she is paid what she is worth and he is working day in and out to make it happen.
