"These opportunities don't come around too often. It's quite an honor and a privilege to be able to sit here today saying that I'm a part-owner of an NFL team"
About this Quote
The phrase “honor and a privilege” does double duty. It borrows the ceremonial language of awards shows and civic rituals, translating a financial transaction into a moral achievement. That’s smart PR: sports franchises are public-facing brands with political baggage, and ownership carries scrutiny. By emphasizing “sit here today,” he makes the moment feel earned and time-stamped, like history being recorded in real time, not just a business deal.
Most telling is “part-owner.” It’s a careful calibration of aspiration and realism. Anthony isn’t pretending he’s suddenly an NFL power broker; he’s claiming proximity to power. For a musician whose fame was built in arenas of a different kind, the subtext is crossover legitimacy: entertainment celebrity converting cultural capital into institutional capital. In the broader context of minority and Latino visibility in elite U.S. boardrooms, the line reads as both personal triumph and a signal flare: the club is still exclusive, but not impenetrable.
