Or the Canada-China game we had a few months ago; apparently, most of the audience was PRC nationals who realized it was a curbstomp and left after halftime.

Very true, but not covering this event at all, or how successful its been over a few seasons now does even less. And yes the turnout for an actual team would be less, but that wouldnt matter since the NBA teams make money before selling even 1 ticket for the year. The good part would be we would then go back to having 2 major pro sports franchises that just adds another attraction to our city during the dreary wet winter months
