Tom Brady took to Instagram to celebrate the Las Vegas Aces’ WNBA Finals win as he added yet another championship ring to his collection.

The Aces defeated the New York Liberty 70-69 in a Game 4 thriller to secure their second consecutive title. This achievement comes less than a month after Brady was officially approved as a minority owner of the team.

Brady expressed his delight for the team and wrote a heartfelt tribute to the Aces on Instagram.

‘So proud of these women and this organization,’ he wrote on Instagram. ‘Took everyone’s best shot all year long and never stumbled.’

The quarterback then posted a story in honor of each player on the active roster, as well as coach Becky Hammon.

Brady was also spotted watching Game 1 of the Finals with owner Mark Davis in Las Vegas.

This title marks Brady’s eighth championship as he previously won seven Super Bowls (six with the Patriots and one with the Buccaneers) in the NFL.

On March 23, Brady announced his minority ownership in the Aces, and the transaction was finalized on October 3.

In addition to his investment in the Aces, Brady has also invested in the Championship club Birmingham City and agreed to become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, which is also owned by Mark Davis.

However, the deal with the Raiders has encountered obstacles. The Washington Post reported that it is unlikely to be ratified at the next owners’ meeting from October 17-18.

The NFL’s new no-equity policy, which prevents non-family employees from receiving a stake in teams, further complicates the situation.

While Brady is not officially a Raiders employee yet, it was previously reported by Pro Football Talk that Mark Davis planned to employ him in some capacity as part of the deal. Davis informed other owners of this plan at league meetings.

The adoption of the no-equity rule has considerably complicated Davis’s hopes of employing Brady and selling him a portion of the team.
