The NFL has recently made a push for more minority representation in their team’s ownership.

“The NFL member clubs support the important goal of increasing diversity among ownership. Accordingly, when evaluating a prospective ownership group of a member club pursuant to League policies, the membership will regard it as a positive and meaningful factor if the group includes diverse individuals who would have a significant equity stake in and involvement with the club, including serving as the controlling owner of the club,” the league said in a recent statement via PFT.

As Sportico reporter Kurt Badenhausen pointed out, Magic Johnson is already an investor in several different sports teams and companies.

“Magic is already an investor in the Dodgers, LA Sparks, LAFC and esports organization aXiomatic. Also is on the board of Fanatics,” Badenhausen said on Twitter.
