SHOCKING: ANOTHER WNBA TEAM FOLDS.

I don't get it? Who doesn't want to sit in an arena on a beautiful August day with fifteen other fans to watch, you know, womens basketball?

WNBA

Orender says new owners couldn't be found for Houston franchise: WNBA President Donna Orender said the franchise that won the league's first four championships is disbanding.

Orender said the league-owned Houston Comets would be shut down because new owners couldn't be found.

"My outlook is to build on the fact that the league has great momentum and in Houston we didn't have the enough runway to get a deal done in time for the 2009 season," she said.

NBA Houston Rockets owner Leslie Alexander, the original owner of the Comets, sold the team to Houston businessman Hilton Koch last year. The WNBA took over the Comets earlier this year and began a search for a new owner.

Orender did not rule out a team returning to Houston. She said a dispersal draft for Houston players would be held next week.

The Comets won the first four WNBA titles, from 1997 to 2000.
