Do you think the regulated/unregulated distinction matters re this exhibit specifically, or in the appeal generally?

I'd argue that allowing a company with a history of bookmaking the league to become an owner also falls under that.

Eh, the WNBA is NOT the NBA. NBA sold off WNBA teams in 2002. Which matters legally.

Affiliated is not the same as ownership. Clubs are not the same as the leagues. These details matter.
