‘Thank You to All the Amazing Women of Soccer’- Serena Williams’ Husband Alex Ohanian Receives Prestigious Billie Jean King Award

The Reddit co-founder first met the legendary tennis player, Serena Williams, in Rome, just before she played her first match at the Italian Open. The lives of both legends had since been filled with awards and major titles. Recently, Ohanian won a prestigious sports award from the Billie Jean King Foundation.

Ohanian used the sports event to call for reforms in NWSL, the National Women’s Soccer League.

The doting husband of Serena Williams said the NWSL needs a safe work environment while receiving the Equality Award.

The internet entrepreneur further added, “I’ll post my remarks shortly, but I’m grateful to Billie Jean King and the foundation for this award — there’s still so much more work to do, but I’m glad to be an owner of a club like Angel City and delighted I could receive this honour with my wife, daughter, dad and stepmom in attendance.”
