If you live here, you'll know...

The Monarchs are dead, long live the Monarchs

Sad news for women’s pro sports today as Maloof Sports & Entertainment folds the Sacramento Monarchs:

“Our focus is to turn the Kings around, and to do that, we have to put all our efforts and good salespeople on the Kings.”

The recently-turned-around, .500-for-the-first-time-since-forever Kings could not be reached for comment.

Maybe the Monarchs will end up in S.F.?

Err- Monarchs? Roller derby? Vollyball? Roseville-based tennis team?

Maybe “woman’s professional sports” just loses money… At least in basketball, baseball, and football.

It’s definitely working. Since this announcement the Kings have dropped three straight.

From Yahoo:

The banners honoring the Sacramento Monarchs, who folded last week, have already been taken down.

Yikes.
