Sparks co-owner Kathy Goodman is writing again, this time for ESPNLosAngeles.com:

Those of us involved and on the front lines of women's professional sports know that we are pushing society to accept us as a given. But we also know that women's sports usually embody the very things that people value most in sports: accessible players playing for the love of the game, overcoming obstacles to achieve their dreams of being professional athletes, acting as true role models in the game and in the community.
