Re: Report: Toronto among potential WNBA expansion cities identified
Great news for both the city and country as well. When I play pickup I notice sometimes the girls feel hesitant or left out so I always try to make the effort to let them sub with me. More exposure of the sport will encourage girls to pick up a basketball and have the confidence to take on the fake tough guys! Go Rapt”hers”?

It was inevitable and overdue. I think there rumblings of it after we won the chip, but covid put a hold on it.
I gave up my Raps seasons after the championship, but I would definitely get seasons for the Lady Raps. I miss live hoops. Hopefully it's more affordable. And it would be a great influence for my daughter.
As for the team name, I think it will be totally separate from the Raps/dino theme. I like the names that aren't pluralized, like Storm, Jazz, Heat, 905, etc. Makes it unique.

MLSE probably. I doubt if they care. They’ll probably get subsidized by the league not to mention the tax writeoffs

Meh, if MLSE wants to subsidize a franchise that loses money because that is the expectations of being a 1st Tier sports city, I'm fine with it... However, will I support the move by way of contributing my time or money towards tickets or merchandize? Unlikely...

What did he say that you think might’ve been referring to this? I don’t remember
