 Posted: 05/03/21 12:12 pm ::: ATL - WTF? |
Reply  |
|
| What is going on in ATL? Heard there have been major changes to staffing - resignations in response or related to letting go of COO/GM; Owner lives in CA, team President lives in MASS, and Montgomery doesn't run day-to day nor is she qualified - its more ego driven to say she is an "owner". Hear they are very controlling owners and people with no experience are now running things. Have not heard on tickets or seating locations, and don't know about what I do once I am in Gate Way Arena - do I have to be COVID tested? We have also not heard directly from new owners - don't you think they would have reached out to ticket holders and introduced themselves and their plans of staying in the market? So, are they moving the team to CA? Is Renee the new GM? Should it it be Coach Collen? Can this team compete with so much disfunction in the front office led by people who live in other states? MEDIA: Cover this story! Tell us what is going on!

| From the staff directory looks like the same cast of characters+ Abair and Montgomery, except there is now only one person whose job it is to sell tickets. Sales rep was always a revolving door though.

Only now did I read this part, and uhh, it would be very worrying if the Dream once again fell into the hands of shit owners! The franchise literally cannot afford to go through more turmoil, especially once fans are fully allowed back.

I expect we'll be talking about the Boston Dream this time next year  |
Not sure ESPN would be overly happy about that. The League actively pursued a team in Atlanta because it was a desired market (probably makes road trips easier to organise, too). Boston would be another big market, but another one pretty near an area that already has multiple teams.
You do have to wonder how long they can stick around Atlanta before deciding that it just hasn't worked, though. Attendance has never been great, and if it still looks bad in the tiny arena they've moved to - once it opens up properly and tries to sell all the seats - that's going to be a bad sign. |

| I called and spoke to a rep - because he is the only one left; his Director left, the CFO left, there are no other sales reps - they all left and he said others may follow - the biggest one to leave is obviously Coach and even though this looks like a great opportunity for her, why did she not coach this year? Something is not right there - Renee says she is running day to day with no experience, PLUS, doing Hawks games, TMZ, TWO podcasts and her other shit. The President lives in Boston. The owner lives in California. Really? This is what we get? Why did Bock/Loeffler sell to these dopes?

The league forced them out because one of them said some things that many of the players disagree with

Exactly. We don't know that there were and we also don't really have proof that these owners are no good other than one guy who seems overly upset about there only being one ticket rep (during a season were teams are barely able to sell tickets).

Despite what HerHoopStats said, WNBA franchises have no value, and finding an owner is a herculean task.
At least Atlanta has a team, though we'll see how the organization does from here on out.

ANYONE GO TO THE GAME LAST NIGHT?
Was I the only one who thought it was overkill how bad the game ops were? And, have you ever heard of an "owner" being plugged more in one 2 hour siting than Renee? Her foundation, her podcasts, showing her on the video -
Did anyone go to the NYL game? Were there promotions/video and music about Joseph Tsi? When is it ever about the Dream? ALL last year was Kelly, now we have Renee 24/7. How about the team itself? Wow!
Also no sound, no stats, and a PA announcer that was terrible. Then of course, there was the game itself - holy moley!

Get. Over. It.
What is your vendetta against Renee?

I don't know if you were the only one who thought it was overkill, but you're clearly the only one who felt strongly enough about it to post the exact same thing in two different threads.
