LARRY FITZGERALD TAKES ON CURLING, ATTEMPTS TO BECOME A TEAM VISA OLYMPIAN

Minnesota native and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has teamed up with Visa to try out a new sport: curling. The football star and honorary Team Visa athlete took to the curling sheet in the hopes of fulfilling his dream of becoming an Olympian. As a first step, Fitzgerald visited the Four Seasons Curling Club in Blaine, Minnesota, learning tips and tricks from some of the state’s best curlers.

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey supported Larry at the club, surprising fans and treating them to free food with his contactless card.
