Around the web --
The Sports Prof ponders the difference in salary between NBA players and their WNBA counterparts.
Jen Garrett scoffs at the arguments about "reverse discrimination" against male coaches. (So do Sibyl and other Summitteers.)
Some other guy complains that the WNBA was crammed down his throat during the NBA's All-Star Weekend. In the ten or so hours of All-Star coverage that I watched, the women were on my TV screen for all of 15 minutes, so once again, I fail to understand the "crammed down our throat" thesis.
Incidentally, the Wers did quite well in the Shooting Stars competition. The still-hobbled Swin Cash was a disaster -- it took her about 8 tries to hit a 10-foot baseline jumper. But Leslie was good, Hammon hit her team's half-court shot, and Taurasi was predictably awesome. Her stacked Phoenix squad (Dan Majerle, Shawn Marion) cleaned up.
