Jared Goff Joins Investment Group to Bring WNBA Back to Detroit
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff and his fiancée Christen Harper are part of a group of investors led by Pistons owner Tom Gores, working to bring a WNBA team back to Detroit. The bid aims to revive the legacy of the Detroit Shock, a WNBA team that left the city in 2009 after three championships.
The investment group also includes Lions owner Sheila Hamp, former Pistons stars Grant Hill and Chris Webber, and a team of business and entertainment leaders. Gores expressed excitement about the opportunity to unite the city around a new sports asset, highlighting Detroit’s deep passion for its teams. The move is seen as a way to bring both economic and community growth to Detroit.
