Serena Williams, Lewis Hamilton join bid to buy Premier League ... (The Washington Post)

Tennis icon Serena Williams and auto racing star Lewis Hamilton have pledged money to a group seeking to buy Chelsea.

But on March 2, after Russia had invaded Ukraine and amid calls for the British government to freeze Abramovich’s assets, he announced he was selling the club. Here’s what that means for the USMNT. Williams, a 23-time grand slam winner and seven-time Wimbledon champion, is an investor in Angel City FC, which will begin play later this month in the National Women’s Soccer League. In 2011, NBA star LeBron James purchased a 2 percent stake in Premier League club Liverpool, an investment that has grown in value as the team has resumed its position among the giants of European Football. Last year, James increased his ownership stake in the club, becoming a minor partner of Fenway Sports Group, the American consortium that owns Liverpool. The three contenders submitted final bids last week, with the expected sale price somewhere around $4 billion. A Hamilton spokesperson confirmed to the Guardian that the seven-time Formula One champion — a fan of Arsenal, another London-based Premier League club — has joined Broughton’s bid.
