“Americans Love Reality TV” – Hundreds of US Fans Downplay Claim on Deadpool Star Ryan Reynolds’ $2.5 Million Investment Over Popularity in the Nation

When Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the soccer club Wrexham AFC for $2.5 million in February 2021, it caught the attention of many fans around the world. Wrexham AFC is a soccer club that plays in the fifth division of the English football league. And the fact that two big names were now a part of the club instantly put it in the spotlight.

While some people see Reynolds’ investment as a good thing for the club, others are less than thrilled. Recently, a Twitter user went viral with a “hot take” on the growing popularity of Wrexham AFC in the USA due to Ryan Reynolds.

Whether you agree with the Twitter user or not, it’s hard to deny that Reynolds’ investment has brought a lot of attention to Wrexham. Ryan Reynolds is a household name in the United States and his involvement with the team has led many Americans to take an interest in the team. It is undeniable that Reynolds’ star power has had a positive effect on the team’s popularity.

But the comparison between the level of play in the National League and Major League Soccer is definitely up for debate.
