The Daddy Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 1 tweet by a Toronto sports podcast has suggested that @TOwolfpack *could* soon come under Maple Leaf Sports Entertainment brand (basically they'd be owned by same people as Raptors, TFC etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojx Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Not sure if there is anything to this. The Blue Jays were also in that graphic and there is no way MLSE is buying them. Hypothetically, if MLSE did buy the Wolfpack it would mean a very professional set up, especially with the marketing department. It would also open the potential of using BMO field. On the downside, it might mean crazy beer prices and an end to the post-game beer garden? For MLSE, the cost of running the Wolfpack would be like a small line item on their accounts. Anyhow, I doubt this is for real, it looks abit like click bate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chamey Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 My opinion is that TWP have a very good niche in that they provide cheap beer, exciting sport, and a great atmosphere. Moving the TWP into BMO for all games (for big games it would make sense) would kill a lot of what makes TWP stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know they are not for sale...quit spreading false news. Not for SALE! Things are looking good on this end....strong attendance, great clothing/merchandise sales....lots of sponsors....winning team on the field currently in first place...best winning percentage of any Club over the last three years, with an outstanding points/for against number. NOT FOR sale! Strong stable ownership with cash to back it up...good tasting cold beer and lots of it. Many attractive women coming to the games. NOT FOR SALE!

ojx Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 After seeing what has happened to the Argos after MLSE ownership, I'm not sure it would be a good development. While it gives financial stability, MLSE is not going to push the boat out to build a competitive team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that. The only logical justification for including a team literally thousands of miles away on another continent would be to drive expansion. They certainly have been presented as saviours of the game in the Northern hemisphere by some posters on here, rightly or wrongly. "At times to be silent is to lie. You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince. For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack: Reason and Right."
