Tuesday, April 22, 2003 :::
If you're in the mood for a rant about the possibility of a WNBA player's strike...
Players have no business saying the word "strike." It's ridiculous to even think about it in regard to the end of the collective bargaining agreement that will expire in September. And yet Sonja Henning, president of the WNBA players association, actually said of a recent talk with about 100 players, "We discussed the idea of getting comfortable with a strike."
Then I hope they also discussed the idea of getting comfortable with going back to playing professionally only overseas. WNBA players, you have NO leverage, OK? You're being subsidized by a big business that thinks one day you'll pay off pretty decently as an investment
Actually, I'm not sure even of that. I think they hope at least to break even some day, and only recoup the rest of their investment in goodwill.
