Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, is a strong supporter of women’s sports. On several occasions, he has spoken against gender inequality in the sporting world. In recent years, through his business ventures, he has been aiming to bridge this gap.

It is a trait very much similar to his wife, Serena, who, throughout her illustrious tennis career, has fought for equal pay for women in sports. Recently, Alexis revealed the inspiration behind investing in the NWSL club Angel City FC.

Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian is all praise for his daughter Olympia

The Reddit co-founder took to Twitter to reveal what led him to invest in Angel City FC. He said, “Jr has no idea she’s a @weareangelcity owner (let alone youngest in pro sports). She has no idea she’s the reason I even got inspired to launch/buy a women’s pro sports club. I want to let her have a little more time as a kid.”

Ohanian is the lead founding investor in the LA-based professional women’s soccer team, Angel City Football Club. Actress Natalie Portman launched the club on July 21, 2020. The club is in the seventh position this season, having won 5 matches from the 12 played.
