yep, that reminds me the corrupted wnba and politics. parker only go one game suspension so that she could appear in the abc national televised game, and subsequently onto the olympics without the 'right after suspension' tag on her back.

What really gets me is that this game had huge crowd (13k) - lots of noise and excited fans. What happened that the Shock just left town a few years later?

The owner died and his widow didn't want the team

Yes, it has. Including an even bigger basketball brawl.

I can't watch that. It's the fight that ended Cheryl Ford's career.

Too bad our former member Diane isn't here anymore. She was seated courtside on the Sparks bench that day near the scorer's table._________________ If you cannot inspire yourself to read a book about women's basketball, or any book about women's sports, you cannot inspire any young girl or boy to write a book about them. http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/Richardstrek |

Lieberman had seen the fight break out between the Sparks and Shock when she was at a Hooters at Six Flags for her son T.J.’s 13th birthday. |

I have a feeling Nancy enjoyed herself some Hooters more than the son, if you catch my anna-mated metaphor.

The seed for that fight was planted in the first Detroit-LA meeting that season. Rookie Candace Parker, during a play stoppage, walked over to one of the officials and showed him her bloodied lips - curtesy of a Plenette Pierson elbow. The official did nothing, apparently because he did not actually see the infraction. However, veteran Lisa Leslie exacted revenge for Ace by smashing Plenette with her own lethal elbows later that game.
This set the stage for the Big Brawl in Detroit-LA Game Two ...
