Magic Johnson is ready to break barriers as he prepares for his first season as a limited owner in the NFL.
The legendary NBA player is a member of the ownership group led by Josh Harris that purchased the Washington Commanders franchise for $6 billion in July. This is his first foray into the NFL, and he said that the process for African Americans to get a seat at the owners table has been more of a challenge than it has been with other leagues.
"There's no higher sports league than the NFL, and it's been hard for us to get into the league," Johnson said, referring to African Americans, per John Keim of ESPN.
