Odell Beckham buys stake in Mexican soccer club, Major League Pickleball team

One of the bigger stories to emerge toward the end of the regular was wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., his health, and where he might end up signing.

Rumors of a potential reunion between Beckham and the New York Giants were strong from the start. They became further amplified when Big Blue failed to acquire a wide receiver at the trade deadline.

But the story surrounding Beckham’s return simmered as the season came to a close. Speculation arose that OBJ wasn’t healthy enough to play despite being medically cleared.

The stardom connected to Beckham’s name will draw attention whenever he does return. In the meantime, OBJ made news this week by purchasing a stake in a Mexican Soccer Club and a Major League Pickleball expansion franchise.

Beckham is an international celebrity and has always had a connection to the sport of soccer from his playing days as a child. He visited the Tottenham Hotspur FC of the English Premier League back in 2015 with some other NFL players to promote the NFL’s International Series.

Meanwhile, Pickleball is growing in fame and Beckham is no slouch when it comes to riding the wave of trends and investing well.
