If Fertitta bought a WNBA team for anything other than a tax write off he’s a damned fool.

Under the “Big Beautiful Bill” sports team owners have used the tax bill to reduce their overall taxes. If a team is purchased for $300 million, the owner will allocate 90% of the purchase price to depreciating intangible assets…
Thank you for getting that reference!
In polling of middle-aged lesbians…

100%? Not sure what you’re trying to imply other than there is a strong correlation between the WBNA and lesbian fans and players? And?
It’s not. I linked the study, people are too lazy to read it.
No, I have no interest in reading it.

Buying something for a “tax write off” would make zero sense. You could get 40 cents on the dollar back max in Texas.
Anyway, I’m guessing he knows what he’s doing and knows about this far more than any of us.

Try telling Bud Adams that, or the Ford family.
I’ll tell anyone that. It’s nonsensical. I guess you could buy a company with built in tax credits or something but not sure how that would apply to a wnba team. It’s also different than what is generally considered to be a tax write off.

Ratings do not lie when Clark is playing and when she is not playing. The ratings are night and day. If she continues to be treated by the league and wnba players unfairly she will seriously get hurt and with it the wnba talks.
