I missed this, Stu--thanks!

By the way, Minnesota and L.A. are 2-2 in the W's playoffs, with the final game this Thursday (last night's Minnesota victory was pretty exciting): http://lynx.wnba.com/

Irregardless of the side one is on in this, one thing being over looked is propriety. People seem to be forgetting that and make their choices based purely on where they can get the most attention.

Huh? What, specifically, are you saying?

Maybe some are not doing it for the right reasons?

I think if you have something to say you should say it where it will be heard. Mario Savio chose Sproul Plaza rather than the basement of an engineering building. For athletes, entertainers, politicians, and other celebrities the best setting is often on the job.

That said, I prefer the content to be considered and the delivery to be respectful. So far I'm not aware of anything less from the WNBA (and Cal) players.

Thanks for the article.

Man, since we no longer have the Monarchs/NorCal team I was really hoping the Sparks would close out Minn., win it for Parker!...what a crowd in attendance! But now that Minn has breathing room I think they are going to wrap it up and add another trophy to the case.

Well--maybe. But none of us are mindreaders, and I choose not to question people's motives, but to assess them by their actions.
