00:00So I know from owning a sports team that only one team takes a lot of energy and time.
00:05Tell me about it, yeah.
00:06So you decided after you bought the Washington Spirits to buy some other soccer teams.
00:11So you bought stakes in a team in England, is that right?
00:15Yes, yes.
00:16I bought a team called London City Lionesses, and that is only one of the two teams in the entire potentially Great Britain that are independent.
00:27Ninety-nine percent of the teams in Europe are part of the men's team, but this is one of the only two teams that was independent.
00:37So now you have two soccer teams, one in England and one in the United States, though I would think for most people that might be enough.
00:45But you decided to buy a team in France as well?
00:48Yes.
00:48The Olympic League Feminine is actually the best women's team in the history of women's football in terms of how many trophies the team has won.
00:59They are the eight-times champions of the European Pan-European League, and I can't even count how many times they won the French Domestic League, the most successful team.
01:08But your ultimate plan with respect to what you're doing in sports is to either buy more teams or to just grow the value of the teams.
01:16What is your ultimate game plan?
01:18Yes, I do.
01:19I mean, I think there's sort of a multi-step.
01:21I want to professionalize women's sports, right?
01:25I don't want people to think that somehow women's sports is a charity or a corporate DEI project.
01:30This is a legitimate entertainment product, and it is a business that is going to be profitable, break-even profitable, and enterprise values and so forth.
01:41So I want people to take women's sports seriously.
