MIAMI (AP) - Venus and Serena Williams have found a new sport: pro football. The tennis-playing sisters will become the latest celebrities to own a stake in the Miami Dolphins, a person familiar with the deal said Wednesday. The person didn't want to be identified because the team plans an announcement Tuesday.
Another person close to the negotiations said an agreement was near but not yet final. That person also didn't want to be identified because the announcement has not be made.
The Williamses live in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., about an hour's drive from the Dolphins' stadium. Their new role will be significant in part because the NFL has no African-American majority team owner.

NFL team owners used to be more concerned about the team winning the super bowl. this is a marketing gimmick by the dolphins majority partner who said the team wants to ensure that the ownership and fan base represents as much diversity as possible.
whats next ? gay bolivian midgets buying shares ?

Maybe they’re trying to be like the Packers. Thousands own them, in a round-a-bout way.

If they don't own a majority of the team, why is this significant? Did I miss something?

How come they didn’t go for the Vikings or Packers? Too cold for them up there I guess.
Or was it those funny cheese wedge hats or horned helmets?
