Drew Brees has joined the ownership group of an Austin, Texas, professional pickleball team.
The sport has also attracted a number of big name players, from billionaire Melinda Gates to celebrities Ellen DeGeneres, Leonardo DiCaprio and the Kardashians.
Major League Pickleball was created by founder and CEO Steve Kuhn in 2021. The league consists of 12 teams of pro pickleball players that play in a co-ed format. In addition to the former Super Bowl winning quarterback, MLP also includes other high-profile owners such as entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, Milwaukee Bucks owner Marc Lasry and former tennis pro James Blake.
"The talented and passionate Mad Drops PC ownership group will further elevate our competition and athletes, which contributes to our goal of growing the game of pickleball into the world's most exciting spectator sport," Kuhn said in a statement.
