Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, June 28, 2005

The WNBA handed a one game suspension to Seattle's Iziane Castro-Marques for throwing a close-handed punch at Minnesota's Svetlana Abrosimova when the teams met Sunday. No foul was called on the play. Some argue that Abrosimova was holding Iziane. Iziane swiped to move Abrosimova and her hand was more closed than open. One discouraged fan wrote, 'If the league is going to start going back and examining play that happened in games, specifically plays in which no action at all was taken at the time of the incident.. they're going to open up a whole new can of worms..'
