J.J. Watt, wife Kealia become minority investors in Premier League's Burnley
Neither the Watts or the club announced how much money is involved, but a"We don't have buy-an-entire-European football club kind of money," J.J. clarified in the 77-second video."We're more along the lines of minority investment, but massive emotional investment."Burnley, which was founded in 1882, was one of the first professional soccer teams.
"When you invest in a club that's been around since 1882, you must have great respect for its history and tradition,"."We understand that not only are we investing in the squad and manager, we're investing in the town and its people. We take that responsibility very seriously and intend to work hard in earning their trust and support."J.J.
"I've spoken to Rob about his experience and tried to gain some insight into what he's done, and I've spoken to Ryan and tried to get his ideas on what's worked and what hasn't,"."Obviously, they're in a different league and a different situation but they have done an incredible job. Our goal is to come in and get involved in the community, to really feel like the supporters.
