Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash to invest in WPS

Women’s Professional Soccer added Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash and former Yahoo! President Jeff Mallett as investors last week, giving the latest push for women’s pro soccer the marketing power of an NBA star and the business muscle of a new media visionary.
Terms of the deal were not available, but sources put the combined investment in the six figures. Both Mallett, who owns a piece of the San Francisco Giants, and Nash described their investments as a mix of cash and sweat equity. That mixture gives them a minority stake in the league and opportunities to invest more money.
