WNBA Expands its Empire: More Teams, More Hope, More Future?

A Galaxy Far Far Away... Or Just the WNBA?

Hmm new teams join the WNBA they do. Cleveland Detroit Philadelphia yes. Much excitement there is. Like finding a lightsaber under your podracer this is! But profit a distant star it seems. Owners long term vision they have. 'Equity appreciation,' they say. Like believing midi chlorians explain everything this is. A gamble it is. A disturbance in the Force or just the league's finances? Time will tell yes.

Victory Speeches High Fives and Investment Theses

High fives fist bumps victory speeches galore there were. Like celebrating a successful parsec run this is. But amidst the cheer the CNBC reporter asks 'Show me the money!' Profit a mirage in the desert it is. These teams much patience they require. Like teaching a Wookiee to meditate this is. But hope always there is. Unless you're Jar Jar Binks hmm?

Hockey Sticks and Extensional Moments

'Hockey stick like growth,' one owner declares. Like Anakin Skywalker's piloting skills this is impressive. 'Extensional moment,' another says. Existential crisis maybe? The Force is strong with these women's sports exploding everywhere like a thermal detonator in a droid factory. A long term bet it is. Easy to make when you have more credits than Jabba the Hutt hmm?

The Empire Strikes Back... With Expansion Fees

Expanding they are. But remember 'Fear is the path to the dark side.' Expansion fees high they are. Owners building empires they are. But Nashville Austin St. Louis... forgotten they were. Ready made buildings they lacked. Like trying to use a bantha as a speeder this is. A costly venture this will be. More money than sense some might say. Control your fear!

CBA Negotiations: A New Hope... Or Another Phantom Menace?

CBA collective bargaining agreement yes. Players want more money larger rosters. A delicate negotiation this is. Like trying to convince Darth Vader to join the Rebellion. Engelbert confident she is. 'Transformative,' she says. 'Thriving,' she claims. But revenue figures low they are. The Force unbalanced it is. Tread carefully she must.

Hot Sexy Southern Cities... Defeated!

Ah the old school a victory it claims. Beating the hot sexy southern cities they did. 'I love it,' one says. Like winning a podrace this is. Michigan Ohio... triumphing over Miami Austin Nashville. The Force is with them for now. But beware for the dark side is always lurking. Strong in the South it may be. May the Force be with them always. And may the profits one day arrive hmm?
