Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, January 23, 2009

From the NYTimes: Candace Parker is Balancing Career and Family.
“Here she is, front and center, and people are discussing the timing of her reproductive life,” Orender said Friday in a telephone interview. “That’s a very public discussion that hasn’t happened before. I do think that’s a good thing for women who go through these issues often in silence or alone.”

She added, “Candace can be a very usable symbol of how you can have a family and a career.”

(so, I'm wondering, is there a 22-year old male we could swap out in this story to be the symbol for men that they can have a career and a family?)
