Who do you think would be the celebrity to make soccer popular in the United States? If you guess Diplo, you'd be right.
Diplo has purchased a minority stake in Arizona's professional soccer team, the Arizona United.
“I’ve been really fortunate to travel all over the world and experience different cultures through music. Wherever I am, Jamaica, Spain, England, China, etc., soccer is a social constant,” said Diplo. “I wanted to figure out a way to get involved with the game and team sports so when Arizona United presented itself, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. I see soccer the same way I see music, as a connective tissue linking the world’s cultures.”
Congratulations Diplo on your next big thing!
