Why it’s harder to say whether Monumental Sports team fans were winners and losers in the D.C. arena deal

Last week, I wrote about the winners and losers of Monumental Sports & Entertainment’s agreement to keep the Washington Wizards and Capitals in D.C.

But JayNC2DC had a comment for me in that post, saying “Odd that you didn’t mention Wizards FANS as the absolute biggest winners here. Most of us live in MD and DC. We won’t have to make an untenable trek across the river.”

So why didn’t I add a section about Wizards, or Capitals, or Mystics fans as winners or losers?

For me, the answer is because of these two reasons:

1. Given that all of Monumental Sports’ teams play in the Washington area, none of the fanbases are mutually exclusive from another.
