Good Publicity For WCBB

[VAUConnFan]

ESPN broadcast the news of Brittney Griner's wrist injury throughout the day yesterday on its SportsCenter broadcasts. Althoiugh bad news for Brittney and Baylor, one has to believe that any talk of women's college basketball during the off season cannot be all bad.

Without statistics, I cannot make judgments as to whether longboarding presents a high enough risk to warrant restrictions on scholarship athletes other than to say that I wish they wouldn't do it. However, considering the balance and agility required to successfully negotiate a longboard, it probably provides some positive athletic benefits that cross over to basketball.

The problem is that many young people think they are invincible. They are not. Risk has its upside and its downside. BG has just leaned a life lesson about the downside.

Having said that, a common injury in pickup basketball is a wrist break…I have one that did not heal correctly. She could have broken the wrist doing that.

I would rather see her break a wrist playing basketball while improving her game since that is what she is on scholarship to do. One of the students who was in the parking garage stated that he was not surprised that someone got hurt considering the speed at which the skateboarders were traveling.

Boris Becker once shattered his right wrist while hitting a forehand in a match. What can you do in a situation like that?

I have not further comment on this topic. I don't want to cause another thread to get locked.
