In 2018, DiMicco bought a majority stake in the soccer club Charlotte Independence, that plays in the USL Championship, the second tier of the American soccer pyramid. Following the murder of George Floyd in 2020, DiMicco sent out a series of tweets blaming the subsequent protests on antifa, George Soros and China. DiMicco went on to spread a series of conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and false claims of election fraud. Some supporters of the club responded strongly to these statements, condemning DiMicco, and calling for him to sell his interest in the team. The Independent Supporters Council urged the league to "take action" against him. ==Publications==
