That valuation might or might not be based on false assumptions about the long-term viability and growth potential of soccer in North America, but for the past decade or more this has been an upward curve. The Argos could not be sold for nine figures, or even eight, IMO; nor could they bring a big return on MLSE's investment in any sale. (Not that I see any potential buyers waiting in the wings.)
Yeah, but; did anybody see that guy who bought the BC Lions waiting in the wings ? Is he some sort of fool for buying a team with weak attendance and fan interest in the huge BC market ?
