John Lennon #056
Collection: 2PAC & His Friends
John Lennon, famously known as one of the founding members of The Beatles, was more focused on music and activism than sports. However, there are a few sports-related moments and connections in his life: Sports as a youth: During his childhood and early teenage years, Lennon was known to be a keen fan of football (soccer in the US). He played the sport regularly and even captained the Quarry Bank High School football team. The Beatles and Sports: The Beatles' impact was so vast that they even made their mark in sports. In 1964, during the height of Beatlemania, the band acquired a minority stake in the American football team, the Washington Redskins. The ownership stake wasn't substantial, but it showcased the widespread influence of The Beatles across various industries. Bed-In for Peace: Though not directly sports-related, John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono organized the "Bed-In for Peace" events in 1969 as a form of protest against the Vietnam War. During one of these events in Montreal, Canada, they invited several athletes, including American football star Roosevelt Grier, to join their peaceful demonstration. Apart from these instances, John Lennon's legacy primarily revolves around his musical achievements and activism for peace and human rights.
