Oh yeah?
Nothing like THIS brawl...  ;)


Anyway, I do see what you mean.
But remember, the WNBA is a women's league  :)

don't hate on the women... and the hockey one is extremely funny since the refs do NOTHING.

I'm not hating at all.
A woman raised me.
Heck, a woman is gonna give
birth to my son in a month's time  :)

But you know what the WNBA stands for?:
Women's National Bricklayers Association  ;)

As far as the hockey refs are concerned...
Well, I wouldn't get in there either  :)

I really don't have a problem with what Mahorn did. Granted, he should have ran over to his own player as oppose to the opponent.

Parker throws a lot of cheap shots.  I was watching it live because the college 3 point shootout and slam dunk contest was supposed to be on so I flipped it on and saw a close game, figured I'd watch the end of it.  Then that occurred.  The best part though was after when one of the women hit Mahorn and Mahorn gave her the what are you doing look.
do it

Props to Rick Mahorn...he's a trailblazers for Title IX.  He'll shove down a woman just as quick as he would a man.  Chivilary is dead and I respect a man who treats womaen equally.

He didn't push here down, he had his hands in front of him and she ran into him. then, apperntly, someone in the crowd hit her with a 50 cal round.

the general rule of thumb is coaches are supposed to hold back the opposing team in a brawl type situation, while the players are supposed to hold back their teammates.

First of all if you look at the tape closely i think it looks like she took a swing at Mahorn.  Second of all I never saw him push her but it looks like she ran the hundred yard dash in a 90 yard gym straight into a wall.

Getting NO pub this morning, there was a cat fight at the end of a WNBA game last night.  It was a headline on Yahoo, but nowhere to be found on ESPN's front page.  If you click on women's bball, they have video of the rumble.  500-lb Rick Mahorn is in the middle of the melee, tossing 125-lb chicks all over the court.  Awesome! Here is the link.  You'll have to cut and paste because I'm still new to posting.

Except Mahorn is old school.  Back when the teams policed themselves  Where the rule of thumb was you hold back opposing players in these fights. 

For Leslie to act like some kind of innocent victim is absurd.  She's lucky Mahorn wasn't in player mode.  He was one mean dude.  It looked like she ran into her....But after hitting him, I'd have no problem at all if he shoved her off.

I love the WNBA!

Finally, the WNBA gives their fans... err, rather "the public" a purpose for existing
