@bostonianindc2 It’s your choice but as a Sun season ticket holder I will not watch another game after this year. They lost me with this move. SMDH

With the Sun moving to Houston do I… Stay a Sun fan? Go back to cheering for the Liberty (like I did when I was young?) Wait for New England to get another team? Pick another team based on vibes? If you cheer for another team… can you make your case for who I should follow?

@deyschasmith I’ve gathered a few thoughts and not good ones either… 🤬

still gathering my thoughts on the reported sale of the Sun to Houston. my first thought is of the fans, the team/staff and personnel. all of the people this impacts. there’s a lot that we DON’T know in terms of not only how the league will announce this and even attempt to word it (or even go about reviving the Comets marketing wise. do they just..combine their history? erase the Sun’s?) but also how it will be publicly handled this season…which starts in just a few weeks?

@SheKnowsSports Don’t hold back. Let it out!!!

I have so much to say and yet nothing to say and that’s all that I’ll say. ✌🏾

@GovNedLamont can we please put up a fight so the @ConnecticutSun don’t get ripped out of Ct. Thanks.

@jordannochiles I’m more pissed about this move than most but your take on how/why it happened is horrible.

@NateTidwell86 Exactly

@edpechie Because the WNBA/NBA owners clearly told Tilman Fertitta he could have the next WNBA franchise available.

BREAKING: The Connecticut Sun is being sold to the Fertitta family to bring the WNBA back to Houston, sources confirmed to ESPN The team was sold for $300 million, sources said. Team will play final season in CT in '26 before relocation. The Comets are back.

@WhoIsDezja @alexaphilippou You may want to check ticket sales. NY also just priced their loyal fans out. The Sun sold out the Garden two years in a row.

@edpechie @alexaphilippou They weren't moving like it out there, or at least the consumers weren't. Especially when the star power of the Liberty is next door

@WhoIsDezja @alexaphilippou At the expense of Ct? It’s the women’s basketball capitol of the world.

@edpechie @alexaphilippou Fair, but why not try again with a city whose been here before. Arguably WNBA's most iconic team other than the Sparks. That market has been WAITING for a comeback. Or at least something enjoyable to watch besides the Texans

@lifewithkeerose I think they found solutions. Cathy said F that, Houston it is

I love that Houston has a team now but it really sucks for the CT base dawg. They was loyal af. Whack that they couldn’t find another solution

@AttackSheet @NOVAxRANGERx @alexaphilippou Rich? They gave away a WNBA team and Ct bailed out the league by purchasing it.

@NOVAxRANGERx @edpechie @alexaphilippou Simple transition to Houston with rich history

@AttackSheet @alexaphilippou Yeah because Houston is a much better basketball city than Boston. You lost the room…

@edpechie @alexaphilippou You think the league is in the same spot as during the recession in 2008? Houston ♾️ times better than Boston

@WhoIsDezja @alexaphilippou If you want to go there, and the team moves outside a 75 mile radius of its current location the argument is actually Boston vs Houston. FYI Houston loses that debate in everyone’s eyes but Cathy’s.

@edpechie @alexaphilippou Hartford vs Houston. Simple.

@NoaDalzell 🫡 out!

Looks like there won't be a WNBA team in New England, at least for now The Connecticut Sun are headed to Houston

@AttackSheet @alexaphilippou I get that but for the sake of argument, the Comets already failed once and legally I’m not sure how the Hartford deal was rejected by the league. Boston was a better option than Houston if we’re moving outside the 75 mile radius of the W bylaws.

@edpechie @alexaphilippou Because it’s Hartford lmao

@shulkjowhit @ChristanWNBA @ayabdeen As a Sun season ticket holder the league has lost a fan.

@ChristanWNBA @ayabdeen As a Sun fan living north of Boston, this has made me so many mortal enemies. Cathy, the Fertittas, the board of governors - everyone

Love that we get the Comets back, but this entire process has reeked from the very start

@PerryHQuattro @SaraJGamelli They had a $325 million dollar offer and a commitment to build a $100 million dollar practice facility. It’s like the league didn’t even entertain the idea.

@edpechie @SaraJGamelli $500m minimum

Bringing back the Comets is great, but taking a WNBA team out of New England is not the move. This is a mistake, and expansion and relocation are two separate things.

@CTSunPR @deyschasmith @ConnecticutSun @CTSunCommunity And sell the team…

PRESS RELEASE: Connecticut Sun Hires Chineze Nwagbo as Director of Player Relations Details: on.nba.com/4by7w07

@PerryHQuattro @SaraJGamelli Also had a matching offer from the Bucks ownership to move them to Hartford. Still have no idea how that didn’t happen.

@SaraJGamelli Hey, Money talks bullshit walks

@SheKnowsSports fact or fiction? 😢
