Any sports fan will tell you that unless your team is struggling, you could really care less about the ownership. When your team is winning, the typical sports fan is concerned with what the team is doing on the field, not what is going on behind closed doors. In Miami this is no longer the case. It is the ownership that is bringing in the buzz, and in a good way. Sure, the Miami Dolphins and their much talked about wildcat offense made the play off’s last year, but it is the new share holders in the franchise that are all the talk with Miami fans, particularly with us women.
Being involved with sports is nothing new to the Williams sisters!
Music icons, Gloria Estefan, Jennifer Lopez and tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams have all purchased shares of the Dolphins. In addition, Stacey Ann Ferguson – otherwise known in the music world as “Fergie”, is now rumored to also be in the mix to purchase a share of the Dolphins as well. Each of the above mentioned women have brought along the followers of their music, fashion, movies, and sport to this team.
These iconic female superstars have opened the doors for a new wave of women fans to the sport of football.
From sweet smelling scents to stinky Football players, J-Lo has it covered!
These women and their endeavors outside of the sports world are helping to bring their fans into the sports world, when they may not have otherwise been exposed to it. The women who wear J-Lo’s perfume or buy her clothes are now likely to watch Dolphins games on Sunday. J-Lo, and the rest of the new owners are opening the doors for a new type of football fan. It is not only increasing the amount of support for the Dolphins, but the NFL as a whole. Although these five women are not the only ones involved in NFL teams, Denise DeBartolo York is part owner of the San Francisco 49ers and the recently deceased Georgia Frontiere with the St. Louis Rams. These new Dolphin share holders however have such a huge fan base that they are able to bring awareness to the sport with their outside recognizable business ventures. We may even see J-Lo’s next clothing line incorporating the Dolphins logo, or Serena and Venus wearing Dolphins emblems during their next match.
Ladies sports apparel is proving to be big business and it continues to grow. When you walk into a Shenk & Title or any other sports store the amount of women’s apparel has doubled from previous years. Women now have entire sections with different styles of clothing with our favorite team’s emblems on them to choose from. The sports world is taking notice in the spike of women interested in supporting these teams. With so many franchises struggling right now, the addition of fans can only help them to build.

If influential women continue to become more involved in football, it can only continue to help the NFL fan base expand. These five icons are a great start in helping women become more exposed to football and giving women the ability to enjoy it by making it more exposed and relatable to them.
