Rogers Takes Full Control of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment

Original: Rogers becomes sole owner of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment after purchasing remaining stake https://www. nytimes.com

Rogers Communications has bought out its partner's remaining stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, giving the Canadian telecommunications giant sole ownership of the company that runs the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors and Toronto FC. The move ends a long-standing shared ownership arrangement and hands Rogers total control over some of the most valuable franchises in North American sports, prompting debate among fans about what single-owner control could mean for the teams' futures.

Why now: A major telecom company gaining complete ownership of Toronto's biggest sports franchises is significant news for fans and the business of sport.
