The economic crisis in America has claimed yet another victim – The Houston Comet franchise of the WNBA. It was announced Monday that the team was folding after failing to find a new owner to take the team off of Hilton Koch’s hands. It could be worse of course… it could have been something we cared about.
WNBA.com tells us…
The Houston Comets will suspend operations for the 2009 season it was announced today by WNBA President Donna Orender. A WNBA Dispersal Draft involving Comets players will take place on Monday, Dec. 8.
“Multiple investors have come forward and expressed significant interest in purchasing the Comets and having them continue to play in Houston in 2009,” said Orender. “However, we made the judgment that we would not be able to complete a transaction with the right ownership group in time for the 2009 season. The WNBA is extremely grateful to the Comets organization, to the city of Houston and to the team’s loyal fans for helping build both the WNBA and the game of women’s basketball.”
The WNBA was just getting off the ground when I first began to fall in love with basketball, and I can vividly remember those first few Comets teams that dominated the league after it’s inception. I was so enthralled with the game of basketball at the time that I would actually sit through entire WNBA games, although I was like 10 and did all sorts of stupid things back then. So give me a fucking break.
Just sell off the entire league and put the $700 bucks towards that stupid money thing you American’s keep blabbering on about…
