At about this same time last year, we talked about launching a WNBA team in Toronto. The idea was received well, and since that time, social media has continued to move forward the idea of putting a franchise in Toronto/Canada.
Basketball is so hot right now. Even with Kawhi gone and the Raptors likely to regress back to their playoff fodder, everyone in the country is still basking in the afterglow. You get folk from nowhere, Canada suddenly interested in “We The North” swag.
The WNBA has found a niche in smaller markets like Indiana and Minnesota.
