Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Jozy Altidore Join Buffalo Bills as Minority Owners

The former athletes aim to inspire diversity in NFL ownership and strengthen ties with Toronto fans.

Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Jozy Altidore are among 10 new minority owners approved to join the Buffalo Bills ownership group, marking the first minority partnership in the franchise's history.
The trio, all accomplished athletes with ties to Toronto, see their investment as a step toward increasing diversity and representation in NFL ownership, where only 10% of owners are people of color.
McGrady, Carter, and Altidore aim to use their platform to inspire young people and set a precedent for future minority ownership in professional sports.
The new owners plan to leverage their connections to Toronto, a key market for the Bills, to grow the team’s fanbase in Southern Ontario, where 15% of the season ticket holders reside.
This move aligns with a broader trend of Black athletes, including Venus and Serena Williams and Magic Johnson, becoming minority stakeholders in major sports franchises.
