The Toronto Tempo, Canada's first WNBA franchise, has announced Serena Williams as a new member of their ownership group. This announcement marks a significant milestone not only for the team but also for women's sports in Canada. Williams expresses her excitement about showcasing the potential of female athletes and emphasizes that women’s sports present a valuable investment opportunity. In her ownership role, she will help shape the team's visual identity and merchandise, coupling her influence with that of fellow owner Larry Tanenbaum, Chairman of Kilmer Sports Ventures.
I am thrilled to announce my ownership role in the first Canadian WNBA team, the Toronto Tempo. This moment... is about showcasing the true value and potential of female athletes. I have always said that women's sports are an incredible investment opportunity.
Serena is a champion. She's the greatest athlete of all time, and her impact on this team and this country is going to be incredible. She's set the bar for women in sport, business, and the world - and her commitment to using that success to create opportunities for other women is inspiring.
