As WNBA expansion continues, ownership of the NWSL's KC Current — which includes Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany — has met with the WNBA and is in contention to bring the league's next franchise to Kansas City. Mahomes also co-owns the KC Royals and Sporting KC. pic.twitter.com/9kd2VXzWR3

Don't know any myself. Not hardcore fans that schedule their time around games. Or buy shirts, jerseys, hats, etc., which is where a lot of the $$$ is. Never seen a lot of women in public wearing any paraphernalia for a women's sports team.

And if there were really a lot of women watching, they'd be making a lot of $$$, no?

Nike has built something like a $10B category for women’s soccer and their jerseys were best sellers during last years World Cup. They are definitely huge sellers. Again I think you’re thinking of the average men’s sports fan. Look at the crowd in a Caitlin clark game and you’ll see lines and lines of little girls wanting jerseys signed. You may not see this fandom in Kansas City but you’ll definitely see it painted all over Iowa. I don’t think you’re looking in the right places. Which is understandable because interest on the pro level is really in its infancy

KC is a great city for a WNBA Team IMO… lots of support for the soccer team already bc so many suburban kids, this would be great for girls youth in the area!

I'm in PHX.


I mean, if it ends up being a legit $$$ maker, great for the WNBA. But to do it, I think they have to turn a ton of "average male sports fans," and that I don't see happening.

Young women do. Many of whom never played sports before or care about any sport in general but they just want to be an ally.

In my office (in KC), there is plenty of Current gear that I see being worn. Not just the ladies either.
