Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 5305444, member: 7748"] I'm not. From both a investment analysis and the metric of interest on the part of the audience, the WNBA expansion is both well supported and has prospects of success. Mixed ownership of the WNBA a has recognized the potential for significant capital appreciation as well as increased revenue as we've seen with the uptick in the fee to join the cartel. I wouldn't be surprised strategic planning by the guru is in the league are not considering international expansion for financial reasons. The location for expansion is an interesting one and I'm not convinced of History predicts the future. Given the significant changes since previous franchises failed I think the critical issues is the ownership group has we've with Golden State. The mixed ownership structure May well be an advantage here as in general NBA owners have access to deep streams of capital. The important issue of course is how they staff the front office. As to the audience the threads on the by and the Canadian increases in both viewership as well as me a deals confirm that the audience expansion is most sustainable and lucrative Based on the above I think the days of my $43 WNBA League pass are numbered so I'm definitely enjoying the ability to see all these great athletes at an extraordinarily reasonable cost.
