Senator slams the WNBA: 'Thumb on the scale' in Sun’s relocation
Connecticut officials are breathing fire over the WNBA’s Sun being sold and relocated to Houston to become the Comets, and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.) is calling for a federal investigation—but experts say it’s unlikely the move will be blocked.
The sale of the Sun from the Mohegan Tribe to Tilman Fertitta’s Fertitta Entertainment—the company that owns the NBA’s Houston Rockets—was announced Monday. Under the agreement, reportedly worth $300 million, Fertitta, who is also the U.S. ambassador to Italy, intends to move the franchise from Connecticut to Houston after this upcoming WNBA season.
