The Kansas City Chiefs are proceeding to week 7 after smashing five teams with a 5-1 record, thanks to their star tight end Travis Kelce for his magnificent performance lately. In the Chiefs’ recent 19-8 win against the Denver Broncos, he was suspected to play due to an ankle injury.
However, Kelce shrugged off the distractions and appeared on the field to showcase his incredible athleticism by exploiting the Broncos’ zone coverage. Besides on-field excellence, the TE has been a focal point of discussion due to his popular “New Height” podcast, and most recently, he has garnered attention by joining hands with his quarterback Patrick Mahomes to invest in an F1 team.
Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes dive into F1 investment
According to Otro Capital’s Tuesday announcement, Mahomes and Kelce have enrolled themselves in the list of Alpine F1 Team’s investors, which also includes RedBird Capital Partners, Maximum Effort Investments and actor Ryan Reynolds in the stakeholder’s role.
Pat has earlier invested in several sports franchises including MLB’s Kansas City Royals, MLS’s Sporting Kansas City, and the NWSL’s Kansas City Current. Following his recent investment in F1, the signal-caller said that sharing ownership platforms with his fellow teammate had been an exciting opportunity for him while vowing to bring shared values to the sports world.
” I’ve always had a passion for all sports. The opportunity to lead an investor group with Travis in Alpine F1 alongside Otro Capital was one I couldn’t pass up. It’s an exciting time for the sport and this is an opportunity to bring our shared values to the world stage. I’m looking forward to being a part of its growth.”
Alpine is currently ranked sixth in the 2023 constructor standings, and the Chiefs QB-TE duo can give a much-needed boost to the team by sharing their sports insights. Travis also showcased his excitement to join hands with Mahomes and Otro Capital.
“I am thrilled to lead an investor group and join forces with Patrick and the team at Otro Capital on this exciting venture with Alpine F1.”
Meanwhile, the investment in F1 by people from different backgrounds continues. From Ryan Reynold and Rob McElhenney to Rory McIlroy, Anthony Joshua, and Juan Mata, multiple players out of the racing world have already grabbed their stakes in F1 teams.
Kelce Brothers’ podcast dominates sports charts
Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce jointly started their popular “New Heights” podcast right around the beginning of the 2022 NFL season. The show, where the brothers duo discuss everything about the NFL, had been creating a significant buzz from the beginning. In its first season, the show has been ranked as a Top 5 sports podcast on streaming platforms.
The podcast held the spot of the No. 1 sports podcast on Spotify for several months, per Huddle Up. It even overshadowed the great Joe Rogan Experience and was also featured in primetime segments on Monday Night Football. Besides popularity in terms of viewership, the brother duo is also making a huge sum from the podcast, as it reportedly charges up to 100% higher CPMs compared to the industry standard for this type of show. On top of that, their inventory gets sold out in advance, and they even sold six figures of merchandise within a few days of launch.
