Why Premier League club congratulated Michael B Jordan on his Oscars triumph

  • Premier League club Bournemouth sent Michael B Jordan a congratulatory message on social media after he won the Best Actor award at the Oscars on Sunday night.
  • Jordan won his first Oscar after starring in the movie Sinners, which won four Oscars in total.
  • Bournemouth posted on X on Monday morning, declaring Jordan’s victory a “proud day for the Cherries family”.
  • Bournemouth consider Jordan to be part of the “family” after he led a minority ownership group that invested in the club when majority owner Bill Foley took over in December 2022.
  • Jordan has attended Bournemouth matches in the past, making his first appearance in the stands when the Cherries faced Crystal Palace in December 2022, shortly after he invested in the club.
