This is IMO the best move possible for the future of this franchise. Boston is far better market than Uncasville and also the previously rumored potential alternatives like Hartford or Providence.

Also this team will also finally get a state of the art practice facility in the near future.

I think they were for a long time ... last couple years they have been making it a sex thing. "We'd be just as popular as the NBA if companies just invested similar money in us, but they won't because we are women" sort of stuff

This happened in other sports far before these two incidents. And those other sports were played by men.

Men's sports were getting dildos thrown on the playing surface? Or men's sports were being sexualized? I know my Mom used to love watching baseball for the tight pants. :)
