Chicago Cubs co-owner Laura Ricketts is leading a group that has agreed to purchase the National Women's Soccer League's Chicago Red Stars.
Ricketts said Tuesday in a statement she is "honored" to lead a group comprised mostly of female Chicago business leaders purchasing the team. The deal is pending approval of the NWSL Board of Governors.
"Building a championship culture begins with treating our players with the respect they deserve as women and athletes," Ricketts said. "We look forward to completing this transaction so that we can begin this new chapter for the team and the fans."Red Stars owner Arnim Whisler announced in December he is selling his stake in the team following an investigation that found emotional abuse and sexual misconduct were systemic in the league.
