Football: US presenter Martha Stewart becomes co-owner of Swansea

Rome, 25 December (LaPresse) – American presenter Martha Swansea is set to become co-owner of Swansea, the Welsh club that plays in the English Championship, joining a group of sports stars and others that includes Snoop Dogg and Luka Modric. The Guardian reports this, citing the online announcement by Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen, two of the club’s owners. This move confirms the growing influence of US entrepreneurs on British football. Another example is Birmingham, which also boasts former NFL star Tom Brady among its minority shareholders. Stewart is a businesswoman considered a symbol, a true self-made woman. She is known in the world of television and magazines for her programmes on cooking, gardening, etiquette, DIY and, in general, lifestyle.
