Re: Shock Survive first round upset

Actually the Shock aren't a bad looking team at all; Powell, Latta, Nolan, Pierson, Ford, and of course Swin. When I said goons I was talking about the fact that there is a solid contingency of manly looking WNBA players (league wise, not locally), not that-that makes them bad people, but there are some chicks that look as if they would be comfrotable using a urinal.

My original point was, am I wrong for wanting to be a WNBA groupie??? I mean where's the equality when I can't use my suave good looks to get Swin pregnant and be one of her many Baby-Daddies, get custody and sue for an outrageous child support order??? Where is the JUSTICE??? I'm officialy starting the SCHOF club. For men that think Swin is "Filet-O-Nice", that deserve the opportunity to be her future baby-daddy and collect child support from a professional athlete.

Already down 1-0 to Indy. Shock held them to 32 percent shooting and outrebounded them but still lost. ???

The only problem with this plan is the women don't make nearly as much $$$$ as the men. Nice try at gender equity though. Swin, however, has some other business ventures I believe.

Saw most of the game up to the 5 minute mark. Every time the SHock would come within two points, one of the Tams would hit a shot to put thiem back up 4 or 4. (Tammy Sutton, Tamika Whitmore, and Tamika Catchings). Catchings was spectacular with her step back shots even though she only hit five of them. She had a double-double and the Shock sufferred with Swin and katie having bad nights again. if not for Plennette pierson's big 3rd qtr it would have been a bigger loss than the 10 points.

Need some home court support on Sunday and for Cash, Smith and Feenstra to step up.

I read somewhere that Smith is mired in the worst shooting slump of her career. She picked the wrong time.

They don't make that much dude. Swin probably only nets around 60k/yr off the Shock. Could be more, I don't know. If they can get some endorsement deals thats another thing. A lot of players do suppliment by playing oversees in the off-season.

Actually the max salary in 07 was $93,000. Total team cap was $728,000. Min Salary for 0-3 years was $32,400 and for 4+ years was $49,134. WNBA championship bonus is $10,000

This explains why you don't see any of them showing off their Cribs on MTV. Lisa leslie was probably the only player to make the max. I did see her drive by me on the freeway with a brand new S Class Mercedes about 2 years ago.

Most do have to play in Europe during the winter if they want to make more cash. The endorsements however are still way down compared to women's tennis.
