Description
Senator Richard Blumenthal is advocating for a federal antitrust investigation into the WNBA following the sale of the Connecticut Sun to Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta. The teams relocation to Houston in 2027 and revival of the Houston Comets franchise has sparked controversy, as higher bids from New England buyers were rejected. Blumenthal accuses the league of violating the Sherman Act and has cosponsored the Home Team Act to prevent such occurrences in the future.
