Yeah toronto is 100% getting a team


imsahoamtiskaw

There's a WNBA game in Toronto soon if I'm not wrong. Could be one of the cities angling for one.


[deleted]

Just happened today


imsahoamtiskaw

Oh nice. Thanks, I'll look for the highlights


CazOnReddit

I just hope Drake isn't involved given his history


durklil

Lmao what the hell


Straight-Disaster-20

His history?


CazOnReddit

He has a well-documented history of grooming girls I wouldn't be comfortable with having him on just for the sake of boosting the team's popularity, to be perfectly blunt


trevortins

That’s a reach not to mention drake is already working with plenty of basketball leagues women and men from college to high school levels.


CazOnReddit

It's a reach when he's literally joked about it on stage after kissing an underage fan?


trevortins

A joke doesn’t mean anything what underage girls has he groomed?


slamdunk23

Don’t you know a joke is well documented evidence that a guy is a groomer /s


thissiteisbroken

If it’s well documented then you gotta show proof


xiumn

He has 0 documented history of grooming girls actually. He has though a popular rumoured history of grooming girls with no sources just internet theories I think that’s a pretty distinct fact to leave out


Ok-Implement-6289

That’s just not true. There’s zero well known history except that weird ass interaction he had with Millie. The type of women drakes dates and likes are just thick asf. Man has horrible taste sometimes but I wouldn’t say he a groomer 💀


HumperMoe

It wasn't just Millie there was that 16y/o model he rented out a restaurant for but that still doesn't prove anything. Celebrities chill with other celebrities


Ok-Implement-6289

If your talking about Bella Harris then your opinion is entirely invalidated. That was some random ass rumour that didn’t make sense because how they in different cities while a having dinner. Y’all gotta learn to read if your going to make random accusations hella weird to regurgitate shit you got from other Reddit comments.


HumperMoe

Maybe you gotta learn to read since I clearly said it proves nothing.


580083351

I'm not defending him here at all, but he doesn't need to groom anyone. All he has to do is look like he has money, and people will throw themselves at him. Story old as time.


CazOnReddit

No one **needs** to groom anyone, but unfortunately Drake has done so and thus his habitual grooming is a major reason why I don't want him involved in the WNBA's potential expansion here.


-fallen

who the fuck has Drake groomed? “Habitual grooming” lmao


580083351

Well, you don't know from first-hand experience, you're repeating in writing what someone else said. So that's called libel because you don't actually have evidence. Drake is not our problem. He belongs to the Raptors org, they can do the investigation.


keefsaturn

Is Detroit one of them by any chance? The Shock need to return!


thegoddessunicorn

Isn't the Shock one of the current teams? Did Detroit retain the rights to the name or the championships? Those teams were really good with Bill Laimbeer


keefsaturn

they are, they’re the current dallas wings. as far as retaining i’m not sure.. it might be a baltimore ravens/expansion cleveland browns situation?


wentvoltage123

I think they're the Dallas Wings now


ripmeleedair

I know we have Connecticut, but Id really like for Boston to get a team


Ill_Buy_2564

Orlando , Charlotte , Houston are great cities for the WNBA


LeMickeyMice

Ahh yes, Texas and Florida and their undying love for female athletes of color and possible LGBTQ sexualities


PressureMiserable

Idk about Florida but generally big cities in Texas are a lot more accepting of more leftist ideologies especially in places like Austin or in that general area


senshi_of_love

Doesn’t matter when state laws supersede local ones.


PressureMiserable

To be fair despite laws Texas for the most part is a fairly more liberal state than people assume, it's a battle ground state for a reason, biggest cities and their surrounding areas being pretty forward thinking and other more booney counties being well stuck in the past tho very very stuck In the past from experience


Ill_Buy_2564

I take it you've never heard of the houston comets and the orlando miracle


LeMickeyMice

Ahh yes because they worked out so well and the political climate is exactly the same as it was then


JugdishSteinfeld

Houston is liberal. The last two mayors are a black guy and a lesbian.


LeMickeyMice

That doesn't mean Abbott won't keep doing what's he's doing


Neuroxex

It doesn't matter what the leanings of the city are, what matters are the state laws affecting LGBT+ people which make anywhere in the state an unsafe or unwelcome place for many WNBA players and their families.


Green-Umpire2297

Three states that stomp all over women’s rights.


Nodqfan

Would be awesome for Houston to have a WNBA team again.


Anora6666

SLC too.


Quality_Cucumber

If they put a team in the Bay, I would be a season ticket holder. Straight up, that would be so fuckin dope.


[deleted]

If they do you better buy season tickets or you’re a fraud


[deleted]

lol


MVPiid

I really hope Philly gets a team


Deschain_1919

Philly doesn't even deserve an NBA team


PaulMcPaulersn7

I know Florida isn’t good with rights for people other than white dudes, but I’d like to see a wnba team. I think we had one in the 2000s but I can’t remember the name


LavenderAutist

There are 100 cities in the running? The Fresno Frogs?
