The Williams sisters have become the first black females to hold a limited stake in an NFL team. The league has no black majority owners. The Estefans also are the first Cuban-Americans to have a stake in an NFL team, and Anthony is a New York native of Puerto Rican descent.
But Venus and Serena seemed far more excited about becoming part owners for other reasons, namely their ties to South Florida. "We're South Florida girls," Venus said. "When we get off the road, this is where we come home to."
Serena is familiar with the NFL (for more reasons than dating former NFL players LaVar Arrington and Keyshawn Johnson), claiming to be a loyal Dolphins fan. The sisters said they have attended games and plan to be at many more whenever they aren't working.
