Wow...touchy aren't we. It's my opinion...sor....actually I'm not sorry if you don't like it.
Hmmm Doc, methinks you are the touchy one....it's my opinion as well so sorry if it offends you that I have one that differs from yours so much that you have to comment on the fact that I posted it.
Just one other thought or two...it's entirely possible...since Ms. Parker is a highly trained and conditioned athlete that she could actually return to the court this season, since the mothers in the W have been a resilient bunch. I know most of you don't follow the W but the Monarchs DeMya Walker returned not only after having a baby, but after delivering her daughter via C-section....2 months later.
Those of you not familiar with the WNBA and it's schedule, the league is starting later this year and running later. If Parker delivers in "spring" (read: March or April) and takes 2 mos? She could be ready to start working out with her team in June...the start of the W season.
Secondly, these women comparatively aren't very well off, I would imagine tho that she has lost about 250K minimum in an offseason overseas contract by not being able to play this winter. However, given that she'll turn 23 shortly her earning potential is still off the charts in terms of the haul she'll make overseas to compliment her W salary. She's not going to lose much $ over the summer since the W CBA does contain a maternity provision.
With the number of WNBA players who have had children, I always find the conversation fascinating when it concerns carelessness or selfishness on the part of the woman. Like everday is a given and childbearing is a given and you can or should schedule it whenever. Not just here but among more rabid WNBA fans who follow the entire league and not just casually.
ps..I'm not actually sorry you took offense to my post that you had to snap at me about it. That's why I'm back answering it. I could care less what your opinion is, you post it...it's fair game. Or do you play by rules different than everybody else?
