Due to a regrettable mistake, the WNBA may have a potential issue to deal with.
Ever since the announcement of the Toronto expansion team earlier this year, fans have eagerly awaited the revelation of its name. Some have even come up with their own suggestions, ranging from the quirky Toronto RaptHERs to more conventional options. It comes as no surprise that people have been actively searching for potential names, including on the league’s website.
A few observant individuals believe they may have stumbled upon the answer recently through a glitch on the WNBA site. The name “Toronto Tempo” was uncovered hidden within certain search functions, leading fans to speculate that this could be the chosen name for the Toronto expansion team.

Although the error has been rectified on the league’s website, it hasn’t stopped people from sharing their opinions.
The whole word “temporary” would definitely fit in the drop down menu so the “Toronto Tempo” it is! pic.twitter.com/1KOoo3BXxF

This might be a hot take, and I think all the name releases of late have lowered my standards but I kinda like Toronto Tempo #wnba

If our WNBA is truly going to be called the Toronto Tempo, then may I suggest a logo and/or mascot? pic.twitter.com/PIZrKpmVJd
