Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, October 12, 2003

We're back... not much action in the women's hoops world the last few days. But here is some news about the Olympic roster:

"Missing from the roster, but likely to be among the final 12, are two-time Olympian Sheryl Swoopes and Sue Bird, one of the game's best young guards. Neither was able to commit to a training camp from February to April. The team also is expected to include a college player, and it will be a tough choice between Connecticut's Diana Taurasi and Duke's Alana Beard."

So no, Sue was not snubbed. She and Sheryl probably just couldn't commit because of their injuries.
