Alexis Ohanian, Reddit co-founder and husband of tennis icon Serena Williams, is once again investing in the future of women’s sports. Known for his trailblazing support of female athletes, Ohanian has made a bold new move by becoming a minority owner and board member of Chelsea FC Women, one of Europe’s most dominant clubs.
According to reports in the British media, Ohanian has acquired a 10 percent stake in the Women’s Super League champions for approximately £20 million.

This isn’t his first major venture into women’s sports. Back in 2020, Ohanian was a founding investor in Angel City FC, an NWSL expansion team in Los Angeles. That early investment paid off handsomely when the club sold for $250 million in 2024, making it one of the most valuable teams in women’s soccer.
“The silver lining of women’s sports being so underinvested was that they were so easy to invest in. You can try anything you want. There is no way that things have been done before,” Ohanian once said.

Eyes on the treble and long-term transformation
Chelsea FC Women are having a historic season. Undefeated in league play with 19 wins and three draws, they’ve already secured the WSL title and the League Cup. A win in the upcoming FA Cup final against Manchester United would complete the treble.
“I’ve bet big on women’s sports before-as the founding control owner of @weareangelcity-and I’m doing it again. I’m proud to announce that I’m joining @chelseafcw as a minority owner and board member,” Ohanian posted.
His passion clearly resonated with his wife, Serena Williams, who reposted his announcement on her Instagram story.
“ANOTHER ONE FOR @776FUND AND @ALEXISOHANIAN,” she wrote.
But Ohanian‘s vision extends beyond titles and trophies. He’s vocal about leveling the playing field in sports, not just in terms of money, but respect and infrastructure.
“These players are rewriting the game. Undefeated season. Eyes on the treble. But this isn’t just about winning titles. It’s about finally matching their talent with the resources, visibility, and respect they deserve,” he said.

Antes da bola rolar nos dois jogos da chave, os comandados de Roger Machado ocupavam o terceiro posto, com cinco pontos, mas o tropeço do Bahia frente ao Atlético Nacional, em Medellín, e o triunfo em Montevidéu, provocaram a virada de chave, com o Colorado saltando para a vice-liderança.

Fantasy Baseball Week 9 Preview: Top 10 sleeper pitchers feature Logan Henderson, A.J. Smith-Shawver
Not that you'd sit just any pitcher, of course, but if you have an opening or two and could use a streamer off the waiver wire, you've come to the right place. Scott White has 10 recommendations for the upcoming scoring period, all rostered in less than 80 percent of CBS Sports leagues. Be sure to check back Sunday for the latest updates. Sleeper pitchers for Week 9 (May 19-25)
Fantasy Baseball Week 9 Preview: Two-start pitcher rankings highlight Kris Bubic, Aaron Nola
Each weekend, Scott White ranks the two start pitchers for the upcoming scoring period and then categorizes them by how usable they are. The names depicted here are highly speculative and subject to change.One of the most common ways they change is with the addition of a spot starter when a team is scheduled to play six games in a row. It doesn't always happen, but it happens often enough that I'm taking the extra step this year of pointing out which of the two-start pitchers is scheduled for Tuesday and Sunday in the upcoming scoring period since they're the most likely to lose out in such a scenario. Below are the two-start pitchers for Fantasy Week 8 (May 12-18), with the most questionable (Tuesday/Sunday in a seven-game week) being Tarik Skubal, Hunter Brown, Luis Castillo, Logan Henderson, Aaron Nola, […]
Curry believes Warriors will contend for the NBA title for next two years: “I’m excited”
One day after the Warriors' season ended with a loss in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinal series against Minnesota, Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green appeared before the media to take stock of the season and give their opinion on how they believe their team can aspire to the ring with some improvements in the squad and if health accompanies them, something that has not happened in the current campaign."Our contracts - mine, Draymond's, Steve's and Jimmy's - are two more years," Curry said. "And we want this streak to last as long as possible. But it's just about what this team needs for next year: answering those questions over the summer, and that everyone prepares individually to get through another 82-game season with a little more peace of mind in the final stretch, where we don't […]
2025 NFL schedule: Panthers’ return to prime time is where ‘we need to become who we are,’ Dave Canales says
Getty Images Every year, when the NFL rolls out its full regular-season schedule, one of the more interesting storylines is tracking how many prime-time games (if any) teams are awarded. For some clubs that've been downtrodden in recent seasons, getting the call up to prime time signals that they are on the ascent. This year, that team is the Carolina Panthers, who'll be making their return to the prime-time stage when they square off against the San Francisco 49ers on "Monday Night Football" in Week 12. This marks the franchise's first prime-time game since Week 10 of the 2023 season, when it played the Chicago Bears on "Thursday Night Football," and head coach Dave Canales is using this game as an opportunity to continue building his club's foundation. "I just love the opportunities to be able to play those types of games," […]
