Why The WNBA Brawl Could Be Good For The League

Jessica G. — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:30:00 EDT

On Wednesday, we briefly mentioned the Tuesday night fight that broke out in the final minutes of a game between the WNBA's Detroit Shock and L.A. Sparks. In the following days, more than one sportswriter has opined that the publicity surrounding the brawl, which resulted in the suspension of league star Candace Parker and 9 other players as well as the suspension of Shock assistant coach Rich Mahorn, could ultimately be positive for WNBA. ESPN's Jemele Hill argues that while fights shouldn't be condoned or encouraged, they are an understandable, and even necessary byproduct of professional, high-contact sports played at the highest level. "The fight, which, by the way, isn't the WNBA's first, showed that squaring up isn't a man thing," Hill writes. "It's a sports thing. It's an athlete thing. It's an I'm-so-ticked-off-that-Candace-Parker-just-drilled-me-in-the-chest-and-the-refs-didn't-notice thing." More »

Hmm, maybe we're seeing something that isn't there (or reacting to expectations regarding women and decorum that we experienced when playing team sports) but the cluck-clucking on the part of the commentators following last night's WNBA dustup seemed disapproving in way that we don't often hear when male hoopsters get into altercations. Basketball is a physical game. Anyway, sportswomen: thoughts? [Redlasso, USA Today] More »

Prepare to feast your eyes on Posh and Becks, Lisa Leslie, Kate Walsh, various Kardashians, Gastineaux and Girls Next Door - all after his extra-sportif jump. More »
