I don't want another WNBA franchise in Boston. As the league grows, we're going to continue to see growth. We get Massachusetts and Rhode Island fans who come to our games now. I wouldn't be a big fan of having a Boston team.
We want more Massachusetts fans to see the product that we're putting on the floor. I'm a Celtics fan, and I drive up to Massachusetts from Connecticut to go see the Celtics. I want people from Massachusetts to feel the same way about coming to see the Connecticut Sun.
There are protections within franchise-protected areas. The League would have to get the franchise owners within those regions to agree to any changes for a Boston team to happen.
Pineault's strong stance against a Boston franchise showcases his dedication to the Connecticut Sun, emphasizing the desire to cultivate local fan support rather than compete with another team.
