That’s big news! Rapper and Detroit native Eminem has joined the bid to bring a WNBA team to the city. The group, led by Pistons owner Tom Gores and sports entrepreneur Arn Tellem, is working to secure a WNBA expansion team for Detroit.
Eminem’s involvement adds significant star power to the bid, and his commitment to the city of Detroit is well-known. The rapper has long been a vocal supporter of his hometown, and his music often references Detroit and its culture.
The addition of a WNBA team would be a major boost for women’s sports in Detroit, and would provide new opportunities for female athletes and fans in the city.
