He also talked about gaining profits from the soccer club. “It takes it out of the realm of what feels right and puts it in the realm of cold capitalism. To be clear, being profitable is absolutely goal No. 1,” he added.
Notably, Angel City FC will start their official NWSL campaign today against North Carolina. The team’s star player, Christen Press, is also getting ready to start her campaign with the newly promoted club. Their pre-season games already garnered many viewers across the USA. Now, if they perform well, they will surely attract many more viewers, not only from the US but also from all over the world.
