NFL legend Tom Brady has announced he has acquired an ownership stake in the Las Vegas Aces, the reigning champions of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).

Brady, who holds the record for winning seven Super Bowl titles during his illustrious 23-year career, said he was excited to be a part of the Las Vegas Aces organization. The quarterback said his love for women's sports began when he would attend his older sisters' games as a child.

"We celebrated their accomplishments together as a family, and they remain a great inspiration to me," Brady said. He added that he hoped to contribute to the organization as it grows the sport and empowers future generations of female athletes.

The Las Vegas Aces were purchased by Davis prior to the 2021 season and won the franchise's first WNBA title last year. The team will begin their title defense on May 19, and Brady's involvement is expected to bring added attention to the league and women's professional sports as a whole.
