Blumenthal Warns WNBA: Interfering With CT Sun Sale Could Violate Antitrust Laws
HARTFORD, CT — Attempts by the Women’s National Basketball Association to interfere with negotiations for the sale of the Connecticut Sun basketball team could constitute an antitrust violation, US Sen. Richard Blumenthal told WNBA Commissioner Cathy Englebert.
The team is owned by the Mohegan Tribe, which is considering offers to sell the team.
Blumenthal said the league is using its governance powers to block proposals that would keep the team in Connecticut or New England.
The team, which began as the Orlando Miracle in 1999, was bought by the tribe in 2003 and moved to the Mohegan Sun Arena.
