ANALYSIS: Maverick Carter will also join James with the group, making them the first and only black partners in FSG's history. Liverpool FC is also under the Fenway Sports Group umbrella, and James had already owned a 2 percent stake in the franchise since 2011. 

According to Silverman, "On FSG’s shopping wish list are NFL and NBA franchises, another European soccer club, NHL, MLS, WNBA, and NWSL teams, plus sports betting, esports, and data analytics companies."
