 Marc Anthony: Takes stake in Miami Dolphins
Latin singer Marc Anthony has shown interest in the Miami Dolphins football team, thereby joining entertainers Jimmy Buffett and Gloria Estefan who also are associated with the storied sports franchise.
Marc Anthony, who has sold over ten million records in his career and tied knots to actress and singer Jennifer Lopez, said on Tuesday that he grew up in a sports-oriented family and dreamed of being part of a franchise.
In a conference call with the reporters Marc Anthony said, "It's just a dream come true, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a no-brainer”.
The Dolphins, whose majority owner and general partner is real estate developer Stephen Ross, played their first game in the year 1966 and are the only professional football team to have enjoyed a perfect season by winning all their games and the Super Bowl in the 1972/1973 season.
Jennifer Anthony is expected to be an active part of the Dolphins organization who has worked in Miami to drum up community support for the team.
Estefan and her husband, record producer Emilio Estefan, also are minority partners in the team, and "Margaritaville" singer Buffet recently declared a promotional partnership that included renaming Dolphin Stadium to LandShark Stadium, named after Buffett's LandShark lager.
The involvement of Marc Anthony with the Dolphins was announced at a news conference in New York City. However the financial details were not disclosed.
