The decision to invest in a Bay Area women’s soccer team (@wearebayfc) came from the long-term growth and popularity of women’s soccer over the last 20 years, said Sixth Street CEO and co-founder Alan Waxman. The Bay Area is also “one of the best ecosystems of women’s soccer,” he added. “The support from people across the Bay Area has been overwhelming,” said Waxman, who is also co-chair of Bay FC. “It’s because the best women’s soccer in the world is played here in the U.S. … and 40% of the women’s U.S. national team has Bay Area ties. People are ready for this.” Head to the link in our bio for the full story. ✍🏼: KQED News Staff 📸: @korisuzukiphoto
