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

And once they become a certain age it becomes no longer an interest.

Lots of lesbians, dude. Lots of them. You have no idea.

I’d watch that….should also have Gracie on the team! Oh and Travis’s Mom as HC!

There aren't actually that many lesbians either.

I really think we're on to something here. People would pay for that.

I wonder if we can get the F*** Yeah sisters on board.

Okay, the lineup so far is:

Hawk Tuah - Power forward
One of the F*** Yeah sisters - small forward
Taylor Swift - Center
Brittany Mahomes - Point Guard
Gracie Hunt - Shooting guard

Other F*** Yeah sister coming off the bench
Mother Kelce coaching

Does October Gonzalez live in KC or are they back in SoCal now?

Thats a good point. SKC is still indeed soccer which is an awful sport.

They should definitely be profitable within the next few years. I was looking and the WNBA players union is saying that the NBA is undervaluing their worth and it should be more than $200 mil/yr, but I find that hard to believe.

I think where they were really stupid was not considering time value of money. It’ll be huge dollars next year. But 10 years from now that’s probably a ripoff if the game continues to grow this way. But at this point after decades of being wildly unprofitable I don’t think beggars could be choosers

Just make t-swift a .025% owner and have her show up to 1 or 2 games per year #profit

Might be the first time in history anyone has said a sentence with WNBA and the word profits in it, and you did it with a straight face.

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

28 years and never made a profit.

The Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) is projected to lose around $50 million in 2024, which is a five-fold increase from its average annual loss. This is despite the league's recent growth in popularity, which has led to record viewership and attendance

Loser forever
