[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ECNL didn’t repost/share the news about Kang’s investment…The GA did…..let that sink in for a sec[/quote]

Kang does not have tons of money!  This will not be a new hit every year.  [/quote]

You clearly did not do any research on it. You just want to come on here and naysay. The money isn't straight out of Michelle Kang's pocket.

She may have made a donation,  i assume she did, but others have donated too.  It is reported that Arthur Blank gave a sizeable donation. He is worth almost $10 billion. As long as there are people like Mr. Blank willing to help fund girls and womens sports, the money will keep flowing. [/quote]

I will go this far.  If the teams were owned by Arthur Blank types then you could be on to something.  But for the most part they are not.  Kang is rich.  Not Blank rich.  New Boston team owners have money but not crazy stupid money.  KC is owned by Chris Long and Mahomes.  Mahomes is on his way to stupid money and he would likely be there but Chris long does not have stupid money.  This could all work but for the next bunch of years the money is not there.

I will make one point on Blank.  I think he would put the money up but he is only going to do it if he thinks this could work.  He would have to be convinced this is just not throwing money away.  I doubt we are there yet.  [/quote]

Chicago Red Stars are owned by Laura Ricketts,  her family is worth over $5 billion.  Jennifer Pritzker is a co-owner and from one of the wealthiest families in America.  She's a billionaire in her own right.

Lead owner of Gotham is Jennifer Tisch Blodgett. She's a daughter of the family who.owns the NY Giants.  Her dad is a billionaire and won't live forever.

San Diego Wave. is owned by Levine Leichtman family-billionaires

Bay F.C. is backed by Sixth Street

Zygi Wilf, owner of Orlando Pride,  is you guessed it, a billionaire.

Billionaire Marc Lasry is/was reported to be interested in buying Courage.  However,  he has sexual assault allegations against.  It remains to be seen if the sale will go through.  It may already have been turned down.

The money is there in this league.   The days of rather wealthy people buying these women's soccer teams are over.

Funny that you the Ricketts and Wilf. Ask cubs and vikings fans whether or not they are cheap owners [/quote]

"Cheap" in MLB and NFL terms are different to NWSL. Wilf just won an NWSL title.  I'd imagine Pride supporters will give him a little grace.

'Funny that you"offered nothing more than what you did as a reply and even then couldn't make a coherent sentence. [/quote]
