Connecticut Sun will move to Boston in a couple of years.

New media deal and high attendance has the league set to flourish next year and beyond. Now they just have to work out a new agreement with the players’ association.

They're definitely trying their hardest to make it profitable. I hope they spend a lot of money.

Makes more sense to stay in Connecticut where they can piggyback on the popularity of the college team.

ESPN overpaid as part of a quid pro quo to get NBA deal

And I would love to see how many tickets are given away or purchased by large companies that are virtue signaling.

Other than CC games nobody cares

Way too much for a team in a league that would fold the instant it wasn't carried by the men's league

Feels like an artificially inflated value. I mean lower tier English Premier League soccer teams hover around that number and those seem way more profitable than a wnba team.

And those lower-tier Premier League teams actually have a fan base.

I said the other day in another thread,

They have Clark and Bueckers, if they market them as white girls that can play and Sophie and Cameron Brink being attractive white girls, they might have a chance. Call it racist, misogynistic, I don't care, I'm not going to pay for a ticket and spend the time to go see the Griners of the world play mediocre basketball.

If someone offers “do you want 325 mil in bitcoins, stock, or a wnba team?”. Does anyone ever choose the last option?

Only explanation is that they are using it to launder money.

I like the wnba more than nba. I like the drama. Crazy black women are entertaining
