Arguably one of the best defensive players of all time, JJ Watt recently announced his retirement from the NFL. He and his wife Kealia Watt have recently been in the news for their investment in a soccer club. And this made it more curious when the NFL star also made a witty Ryan Reynolds reference during the announcement.
Currently, Burnley is worth about $143 million. 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!”
The club have twice been crowned champions of England in 1921 and 1960, the latter under legendary manager Harry Potts.
Watt’s retirement plan includes buying Burnley FC
Known as the Clarets, Burnley Football Club was formed in 1882 and currently play in the Championship.
