[Dumbo]

The Walt Disney Co. has sold their hockey franchise, the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. I don't have a link to a press release, but trust me. They are sold.

I knew they were trying to sell off the team, so it comes as no surprise. That's the problem with a company like Disney owning a sports team. THey can be a good investment, with cross promotions and movie tie-ins...but only if the team proves to be both locally popular and "winning" to keep there name in the national market.

I am a little sorry to see the team sold off, but I think it is the best thing for the company.

It's ashame the local area never fell in love with the Ducks or the Angels. In recent years both teams had success, but neither won the hearts of SoCal.

I'm curious why someone would buy the team now. The entire NHL is in jeopardy. It may not survive this non-season.

Once Disney owns no sports franchises they can put casinos on their ships. Don't be surprised. You heard it here first.

1. I'd sell too if I'd taken Federov on my team! (Sorry, just had to be said). Also, CA is not a hockey land. Why would they try to have so many teamsin a rathersmall area????
2. The nicest thing about DCL was the lack of casinos! Please no casinos, let's keep it family oriented!

There are plenty of casinos around the country that don't have sports wagering. Just curious why this would be a criteria for Disney getting gambling started on cruise ships...
