Phillips, Cargill make statement about Black team ownership by winning professional softball title

The Texas Smoke softball logo is displayed on a gear bag during practice at Concordia University in Austin, Texas, Monday, June 13, 2023. Former Major League Baseball star Brandon Phillips and current women's pro wrestler Jade Cargill took on professional sports franchise ownership together less than a year ago. The pair led the Texas Smoke to the championship in their first season with Women’s Professional Fastpitch softball. Majority ownership in major U.S. based leagues by anyone other than white men is rare. (Aaron Martinez/Austin American-Statesman via AP)
