[Exclusive] Croix Bethune Reveals Why Magic Johnson’s Washington Spirit Investment Will Transform Women’s Sports

Published

One name on the lips of the USWNT fans is Croix Bethune. The talented soccer player from the Washington Spirit stole the headlines before her unfortunate season-ending injury. Yet, young and gritty in her own way, Bethune loves the new investor who arrived at the Spirit. Magic Johnson has raised the team’s spirits.

The Los Angeles Lakers basketball legend is a shrew investor similar to Shaquille O’Neal. Thus, with the NWSL attracting big-money names, Magic pulled a rabbit out of his hat. In an exclusive interview with EssentiallySports, Croix Bethune mentioned the impact of a personality like Johnson coming to the league.

It obviously attracts much more eyeballs. It’s a big win for the league as Magic joins Kevin Durant, Patrick Mahomes, and other stars to invest in the NWSL. “Um, I mean, we just, Magic just joined us, and I think that’s great. Someone who’s done that within another sport, also being a man coming to us. So I feel like the more people look at women’s sports, invest, see how important we are, and how much we can make a difference. I think things can progress to elevate,” said Bethune, in an exclusive interview with EssentiallySports.

The new CBA agreement for the NWSL league promises the players better salaries, maternity leaves, and other allowances. It, in turn, attracts players from the European leagues to ply their trade for the American clubs. So Bethune stated about those as well.

Princess Kate and Prince William ‘surprised everyone’ with life-changing decision for their kids Prince William and Kate Middleton are devoted parents to their three children, and have made sure that their childhood is as normal as possible despite their royal status.

More info Princess Kate and Prince William always prioritise their three children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six. Despite the responsibilities that come with being future King and Queen, the couple are hands-on parents, often doing the school run themselves instead of relying on staff. A Royal expert has claimed that the couple “surprised everyone” when they moved to Windsor in 2022. The family left their London home, Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace, for the more modest Adelaide Cottage. It was reported that the move was partly to be closer to the late Queen Elizabeth. Adelaide Cottage also offers more privacy and space for their children to live normal lives. The four-bedroom property doesn’t have room for live-in staff, so the family have the whole place to themselves, with some staff reportedly coming in during the day to assist according to the Mirror. William and Kate are keen to give their children a normal upbringing(Image: Getty Images) Royal expert Duncan Larcombe shared with OK!, “I think they surprised a lot of people when they moved there,” adding, “There are plenty of other places they could have moved to, but Adelaide Cottage fits with their desire as parents to be a normal family, where there aren’t servants and they don’t have 30 rooms. William would much rather have his kids around him, in the rooms next door to where he’s sleeping.” Join the Daily Record’s WhatsApp community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages. Fellow Royal commentator Katie Nicholl also told the publication: “They are very, very happy there. Being able to live in the middle of Windsor Home Park, where they’re not overlooked and can come and go in complete privacy, makes the downsize from Kensington Palace worth it on every level,” before explaining, “There’s not a huge amount of space, but Adelaide Cottage ticks all the right boxes.” CONTINUE READING More on Kate MiddletonPrince WilliamRoyal Family News Sport Celebs Life & Style Follow Us © 2024 Scottish Daily Record and Sunday Mail Ltd
