Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson announced Friday that he and his wife, Ciara, are part of an initiative aimed toward bringing a Major League Baseball team to Portland, Oregon.
Wilson wrote the following about participating in the Diamond Project:
"A new team is on the horizon. Today I am honored to announce that Ciara and I are part owners of the Portland Diamond Project; we're aiming to bring a Major League Baseball team to Portland. Portland is a place sports fanatics get excited about, headquarters to Nike—a brand repped by all kinds of athletes—and a city where a new stadium is about to stand tall.
