[Source] - Reynolds and McElhenney have purchased a stake in Club Necaxa, the century-old Mexican soccer club that also counts Eva Longoria among its owners. The pair will work with Longoria and fellow investors Al Tylis and Sam Porter to enhance Club Necaxa’s standing and grow its profile in international sports circles at a time of heightened TV and streaming demand for soccer content. It’s understood that Longoria, the Mexican American multihyphenate, helped bring Reynolds and McElhenney into the investor group
Talk about an easy sell here. You already have a bunch of celebrities in the ownership group of Club Necaxa:
In 2021, the club was purchased by a new star-studded ownership group which included includes legendary German international player Mesut Özil, actress Eva Longoria, former NBA player Shawn Marion, MLB pitcher Justin Verlander, and model Kate Upton.
Talk about an all-time owners box meeting. You have the former player in Ozil, you have the Matrix, you have the model and Eva Longoria. Massive lineup that had to be the quickest yes from Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. I mean, sure, it helps they are already rich and this is what rich people should do. Buying a sports team would be fucking awesome. But the real story is look at what they've done with Wrexham. They've turned Wrexham into a household name with the TV series, coverage and everything that comes along with them buying Wrexham and getting promoted twice.
Now you're trying to do that over in Liga MX. Club Necaxa is in the top league in Mexico and currently right in the middle of the table. Gotta bring in more names and go win yourself a title. Not to mention, this is a damn good looking owners box. Quick break.

Not to mention Ozil and Mac can talk about getting jacked.
And then Shawn Marion can explain his beautiful jumper to everyone.
All I know is this is how you build an ownership group. You get the biggest names, you get people with experience in building a brand and titles will follow. Being rich enough to buy sports teams has to be the top-1 feeling in the world. Just get some friends together, invest, see what happens. Easiest sales pitch in the world.
