Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback often referred to as the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time), is embarking on a thrilling new venture that will see him navigate uncharted waters—literally. The former NFL superstar has just announced his participation as a team owner in the newly formed E1 World Championship, an electric boat racing league that promises to be a game-changer in the world of high-speed water sports.
The news broke on a Thursday morning, revealing that Tom Brady’s ownership stake in the E1 World Championship is now officially official. The league, set to kick off in 2024, will feature electric ships racing on tight courses, reaching exhilarating speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour. But this isn’t just any boat racing league; it boasts an impressive lineup of team owners, including tennis star Rafael Nadal, Formula 1 sensation Sergio Perez, and former soccer star Didier Drogba, among others.
For Tom Brady, the decision to join the E1 World Championship was an easy one. In a statement, he expressed his enthusiasm for the combination of speed, intense competition, and the thrill of being out on the water. As a competitor with an illustrious career on the football field, Brady is no stranger to the adrenaline rush of sports, and this new challenge promises to feed that desire for excitement.
“My message to our competition: be prepared for second place because we are aiming for the top! LFG!!!” Brady declared confidently, channeling the same drive and determination that made him an NFL icon.
Beyond the thrill of racing, Brady is also excited about the league’s environmental focus. With all-electric ships, the E1 World Championship is committed to sustainability and being more environmentally friendly than other racing sports. The initiative to include mixed-gender pilots on the teams further showcases the league’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity in the world of sports.
In a recent interview with CNN, Tom Brady revealed that his love for boating culture was the driving force behind his decision to join the electric boat racing league. Following his move to Tampa Bay in 2020, the coastal lifestyle captivated him, and it comes as no surprise that he has now found a way to combine his passion for speed and the water.
Although Brady won’t pilot the boats during official races, he made it clear that he plans to be hands-on with the sport. “You’re damn right I’m going to be in that cockpit at some point,” he exclaimed. “I love speed! I love driving fast!”
Since retiring from professional football in February, Brady has been actively exploring various ownership opportunities in sports. In addition to his involvement in the E1 World Championship, he has invested in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, Major League Pickleball, and the Las Vegas Raiders. This diverse range of investments showcases his commitment to the sports industry and his desire to make an impact beyond the football field.
As the world eagerly awaits the inaugural season of the E1 World Championship, all eyes will be on Tom Brady and his fellow team owners as they embark on this electrifying journey into the world of high-speed boat racing. With the G.O.A.T.’s competitive spirit, determination, and love for the water, there’s no doubt that he will make a splash in this thrilling new chapter of his post-football career.
