Message: [QUOTE="RPM101370, post: 3612256, member: 410"] Delle Donne is a homebody, pure and simple. Given a choice of anything it seems she wants to be home. I think I even saw that her and her wife live in a converted garage on her parents’ property. (Could be very wrong there). I’m not sure she plays internationally during the winter either. She’s a superstar and a transcendent talent, when healthy, but she is also just very quiet and boring. Absolutely nothing wrong with that but there’s just no “sizzle.” When they announced there would be a season she was the first person I assumed would try to opt out. i don’t discount the health concerns but if I had to speculate I’d guess that the idea of being away from home and isolated for so long is the true motivation here. Again, nothing wrong with that and I understand and relate fully. Sucks for her that the doctor’s don’t agree on a medical exemption but such are the rules. if she wants to sit out she won’t get paid and I think that is perfectly reasonable. So many other players are sacrificing for the league and for the game she should not be given special treatment just because she is a star and a MVP. [/QUOTE]
