Grits and Shins Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Apparently the women are holding out for higher salaries so the is a possibility that their next season may be cancelled. My question is ... who cares? Has anybody ever been to one of these games? Or even watched one on television? Somebody call Martha Burke.

xMRogers Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Man, I loved David Stern's handling of this - "so let me get this straight - we go ahead and financially back a womens league that loses money hand over fist, give US women a way to play and stay in the states, pay them a decent salary compared to the non-athlete, plus about half a year off if they want to suplement, give new backing (think they just committed $12M or so to the league), and the players are going to hold-out? Yea, season cancelled if there is a single day of hold out" I like the idea of womens basketball, and am glad to see a US league (not that I've ever actually bothered to watch) - if I have a daughter, want her to know that there are female pro athletes earning a living just like men. However, until you actually have financial power because there are profits at stake, you have got to be kidding me with the idea of striking - ****, the NBA will save a ton by not having the WNBA season, not lose money...

Clubfoothead Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Well upon discovering that my first kid is going to be a girl I assumed I would have to get into the WNBA so she and I could talk sports. Guess it'll be softball or something now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
