Why women's basketball isn't coming to Toronto

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Richard Warnica, business feature writer When Toronto hosted a packed WNBA exhibition game in May, hopes were high that the city would soon get its own team, but by then, "the game was already over," writer Richard Warnica says. Local sports powerhouse Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) had already considered and rejected the idea, mostly because two particular members of the board were set against it. At a time when women's professional sports seem to be awakening across the continent, Warnica has the exclusive on how Toronto ruled itself out, possibly missing an opportunity for exponential growth in the fan base.
