Chinese Firm Acquires US Baseball Brands
Major American baseball equipment companies, Louisville Slugger and Wilson, which have historically been American-owned and iconic in the sport, are now owned by Anta Sports, a Chinese company with strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Their ownership change occurred after Louisville Slugger was sold in 2015 and Wilson was acquired through multiple international conglomerates, ultimately leading to its control by Anta in 2018. This shift raises concerns about the influence of Chinese interests over American sports manufacturing and the broader implications for American sports traditions.
