Tracy McGrady Invests in Buffalo Bills to Promote Diversity in Ownership

Tracy McGrady’s Buffalo Bills Investment Aims To Open Doors For Greater Representation — 'Now We Need To Get Guys In To Be Majority Owners'

Alright folks, listen up! You know Tracy McGrady – yes, the basketball legend? Well, he’s just kicked his aspirations into high gear and is making some power moves outside the court! Now, he’s rubbing shoulders with the big boys and girls in the league of NFL team ownership. You heard that right! As we learned from AFROTECH™, T-Mac now holds a minority ownership stake in the beloved Buffalo Bills.

What makes it even sweeter? Good old Vince Carter, McGrady’s co-star from their Toronto Raptors days and a fellow Florida native, is in on it too. Plus, soccer sensation Jozy Altidore is part of this amazing crew of 10 limited partners, who are raising the bar for representation. This is a game-changing move for the Bills too, owned by Terry and Kim Pegula, as they welcome new forces into their ownership group for the first time.

McGrady once said, “I’ve always wanted to be an owner of a franchise and really didn’t care whether it’s the NBA, a soccer league, whether it’s in the NFL.” And now, he’s living that dream. This epic milestone in his career was exclusively shared at a private reception hosted by Diverse Representation and William Morris Endeavor (WME) to honor Black professionals making waves in sports.

What’s inspiring here is McGrady’s persistent pursuit to continue making an impact, even after leaving the court. He joins a growing trend of athletes pushing for more representation in team ownership, which could have huge implications for diversity in sports. So, buckle up and get ready to witness the power of representation – Kudos, McGrady!
