Former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice joins Denver Broncos ownership group.
As the National Football League (NFL) franchise announced on Monday, the 67-year-old joins the Walton-Bum family group who sold the Broncos for a record $4.65 billion (around April 4) last month .35 billion euros) bought.
“I spent much of my younger years in Denver so it’s a once in a lifetime adventure and a great opportunity to combine my love of the game with my love of this amazing city and team,” said Rice, who died at the age of 12 Denver and went to university there. From 2005 to 2009 she was secretary of state under George W. Bush.
“Rice is a highly respected politician, accomplished academic and business leader. She is known as a passionate and knowledgeable football fan who has been dedicated to making the sport stronger and better,” Rob Walton said in a statement Experience and their exceptional judgment will be a great asset to our group and the Broncos organization.”
The deal is currently being reviewed by NFL club owners, with at least 24 out of 32 having to agree.
