LeBron James and Red Sox Join Together to Play Soccer


Red Sox and LeBron James have come to a partnership. No, LeBron will not be playing for the Sox or in Boston for that matter.

LeBron has joined in a partnership with the Red Sox ownership group with the Fenway Sports Management, as a minority owner of the Liverpool Football Club in the English Premier League. LeBron will have no controlling interest and for that matter gets to make no decisions on the team. What will he make? Money! Liverpool is considered to be one of the most profitable sports franchise in the world.

Everyone knows that LeBron is a huge New York Yankee fan, so how did this union happen? Well Sam Kennedy FSM, president and COO of the Red Sox said James and Henry & Warner at Warren Buffett’s company. James and Henry talked and liked each other wanted to be partners.

“He’s definitely a soccer fan,’’ said Maverick Carter, James’s business partner. “He loves sports and he took a good look at what John and Tom have done with their sports entities and the history associated with the Liverpool franchise, and he decided that it was something he wanted to be involved with.’’

This could be an interesting deal and will be able to branch out more business adventures for the Red Sox ownership group and will open more doors with LeBron James on board. James is the most hated and most loved athlete in sports today which is a win/win for everyone in this deal.
