Rogers Communications Inc. bought BCE Inc.’s 37.5-per-cent stake in Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment – the umbrella company that owns the Maple Leafs, the Raptors, the Argos and Toronto FC – for $4.7-billion. The deal makes Rogers the majority owner of all of Toronto’s major professional sports teams.
