JJ Watt makes a crucial announcement

This season, the English Premier League has welcomed several new owners. Todd Boehly also recently started his reign at Chelsea. Manchester United’s Glazers family is also apparently looking for a new buyer. In the previous season, the Clarets dropped down to the second division of English. But after a phenomenal season in the Championship under Vincent Kompany, they’re back!

And it seems like they’re back for another good spell in the Premier League. The fans hope that including the Watt family would help the club receive a steady cash flow.

A few days ago, the NFL legend and his wife made a subtle Ryan Reynolds reference while discussing their new investment.

What was the iconic Ryan Reynolds reference about?

Currently, Burnley is worth about $143 million. While the fans are aware of the NFL legend’s minority investment, the details of the deal are yet to surface. During the interview, JJ Watt said, “We don’t have ‘buy an entire European football club’ kind of money, we are more along the lines of minority investment but massive emotional investment”.

Weeks ago, Ryan Reynolds highlighted he was heavily emotionally invested in all his business ventures. Other than that, someone from behind the camera also asked JJ Watt whether he wanted to be like Reynolds. Surprisingly, it was a mixed reaction from either of them. While the NFL legend said no, Kealia Watt replied, “Yes Please!”.
