American rapper and songwriter Jack Harlow has officially been announced as the new owner of NWSL club Racing Louisville and the USL’s Louisville City.
Jack’s ownership status was announced at the recent Louisville City match against Charleston.
Joining university students and local fans for the club’s College Night back in April, Jack Harlow was spotted at Racing Louisville’s match against San Diego Wave.
With the rapper already touching down first class at Lynn Family Stadium to announce his new ‘owner’ status in person, what was considered a rare sitting a few months ago is sure to be a regular occurrence.
With global and highly profiled figures like Michael B. Jordan and Ed Sheeran purchasing stakes in English clubs, celebrity ownership is fairly novel in football. However, big names are nothing new in NWSL.
Serena Williams, Jennifer Garner, Natalie Portman, Naomi Osaka, Jessica Chastain and more are joined by the Louisville rapper as the A-listers hold shares in one of the top-flight biggest clubs.
More high rollers are looking to join in on the fun as women’s football continues to grow in popularity, especially in Stateside.
One of the sport’s fastest-growing leagues will only skyrocket with the investment and attention Harlow’s hometown hero status brings. Here’s to more stars following suit.
