I'm not trying to be racist*, but what else do you expect when you gather a bunch of girls** who work out. *This is a racist statement **more specifically, black girls*
sadly i was at a Comets/Sparks game at Toyota Center 2 years ago where Swoopes/Leslie almost went it, that was the entertaining part of the game
[WNBA]Detroit Brawl Pt.2 http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3501154&categoryId=2378529 Apparently Sparks and the Detroit WNBA team got in this cat fight. Candace Parker was involved and apparently Mahorn pushed Lesley to the ground Yeah... watch the vid. entertaining cat fight!
Lisa Leslie has a reputation of escalating things and then putting on the 'woe is me' routine. Sadly Mahorn playing peace-maker is giving him all kinds of bad publicity. I really don’t think he meant for her to fall down. What do you expect with a man that strength? Sparks coach Michael Cooper said, "I think Rick was trying to play peacemaker, but he's just too big."
I saw a clip of the "fight" this morning, and Mahorn did not intend to push her down at all. She looked like she fell as much as anything else. What a black eye for the sport. Now, 8 of the 11 fans who still watch the WNBA will switch to something more civil, like MMA....
I saw this...Why did the coach push Leslie? typical girl fight... well, this is the type of publicity this league needed...
I think this is exactly what the WNBA needs. They need to loosen up a bit. Its been way too clean cut and needs to lose some of its purity. Let's see some trash talking, a couple fights, jerseys getting torn off, more coaches throwing ladies down, ect. We've seen the first dunk and now the first fight. Folks, I think our little girl known as the WNBA is finally growing up.
