In his more than 15 years in pro football, NFL quarterback Steve Young made his name on the field as one of the most efficient passers of all time. But after his retirement, he turned his career to private equity, co-founding the firm HGGC in 2007. Now, Young is watching the recent surge in private equity investments in sports teams, and making the case for private equity buyers in the NFL. Axios business editor Dan Primack sat down with Young to talk about his business and the future of football--and why he says "football is made for girls"--in this special episode taped live at Axios BFD in San Francisco. Plus: Dan Primack gives us the big picture on private equity and pro sports, and why it matters. Guests: Steve Young, NFL legend and private equity investor; Dan Primack, Axios business editor Credits: 1 big thing is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Alexandra Botti, and Jay Cowit. Music is composed by Alex Sugiura and Jay Cowit. You can reach us at podcasts@axios.com. You can send questions, comments and story ideas as a text or voice memo to Niala at 202-918-4893.
