Drake brought it up, but thats not important so i wont link it, but thats what got me thinking about it. Wouldnt toronto actually sell a lot of tix for a womens league? we have lots of travellers here from around canada and abroad. Womens basketball is already very big in the area, This seems like a no-brainer.

Would you guys be interested in either watching on tv if the teams good, or even going to a game?

I think it can work because they can cross promote it with the Raptors. It can be an added perk, your Raptors season seat package includes WNBA tickets.

We've got Raptors seasons, and my teenage daughter (who plays on her school basketball team) said she would be down with going to WNBA games.

So count me in. The highlights look good, but it's hard for me to pay attention to the league without a rooting interest (calm down, Aussies!).

A Toronto WNBA team would definitely get me to start following the WNBA

Call them the Toronto Rafters.

To be honest I wouldn't watch unless they make the WNBA finals.

If tickets are cheap I'd go.

say they made it to the finals and lost, would you be interested in their following playoff run if they were playing another great team in a series? Im into the womens game heavy, so the people who dont care interest me.

Nope, not really.

I just don't find WNBA entertaining. Same thing with TorontoFC, Argos, Rock, Leafs.

I have a friend who gets free tickets to TFC, Argos, Rock games and I never take those tickets cause I just don't find those sports or teams entertaining enough unless they are in a championship game.

I only care for Raptors, Jays and UFC.

What happens in any of our players switch genders? Would they be allowed to play for the other Raptor's team?

MoneyBall · Post #14 » by **MoneyBall** » Wed Nov 3, 2021 4:50 pm

I probably wouldn't watch or attend any games. Toronto 905 on the other hand would be a nice alternative to NBA basketball.

question is would they play at scotiabank arena?
or shuffled off to some other arena, coca cola collesim? Paramount centre
my bet is that its not Scotiabank.

It would be great for women’s sports.

Pooper · Post #17 » by **Pooper** » Wed Nov 3, 2021 5:01 pm

For me , there is something missing when I watch the WNBA. I tried to get into it watching this years finals but I just don't have an interest even though the series was great. I watch women's tennis, MMA and some Olympics sports but not sure why I can't get into WNBA. I think if it were to come here, they would need a Carter like player to get a jump start to it.

I would 100% watch it and attend games.

Ill support it, like I support all my Toronto team but not fanatically like I do with the Raptors.

Toronto Towers name should be used.

mulamutti · Post #20 » by **mulamutti** » Wed Nov 3, 2021 5:32 pm

I support it. However, I'm not sure I would be able to watch it. Same reason I don't watch college or high school games. It's just not the league of the absolute best athletes in the world regardless or race/gender/etc. I honestly wouldn't care if women even played in the NBA if they were good enough. but obviously that's not a fair expectation, but there's no reason it shouldn't be allowed and accommodated for. But That's why you can't have the same financial expectations from WNBA or Euro league or any other league that is not considered that absolute pinnacle of the sport.
