Message: [QUOTE="Dugway, post: 5330902, member: 13446"] Selfishly, now that we have had the opportunity to see that game in person, I guess I don't care as much. But, as someone whose taken two days off of work, commuted 4 1/2 hours each direction and spent in the neighborhood of $2,000 for the opportunity to see it, we personally would have been disappointed had the Wings shut her down prior to last evening's game. It is professional basketball. She is being paid to play. From the perspective of an WNBA fan, she has an entire offseason coming up. The fans are the ones who are buying tickets to watch the games, and there is an expectation that by doing so they would see her play. That said, I think it fair to a fan if she were to only play half of the minutes, particularly if the game was not close. But if the game is in the balance, I would expect the fans would want to see a complete effort by the entire franchise, regardless of the current record. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
