Pistons owner Tom Gores has agreed to become a part owner of the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers. He is purchasing a 27% stake in the franchise, Daniel Popper of The Athletic relays.
The agreement is subject to approval by NFL owners next month. If the deal goes through, the Spanos family would still control 69% of the Chargers. Gores purchased the Pistons franchise in 2011.
