Sparks’ Riquna Williams over a domestic violence incident involving an ex-girlfriend (Williams was suspended 10 games), and she’ll be expected to take charge of this Howard situation as well." The the title of the article were five storylines going forward after the All-Star break. The article in the sentence you point out, did reference pre-all-star incident with Williams and did include a single clause indicating she'll be expected to deal with the Natasha Howard situation. In an analysis of several thousand words and five major points of analysis I guess my reaction was this was minimal attention when thinking about the overall scope of an article that provides one view about five major concerns for the WNBA going forward. The issue of the commissioner was one of those five points and not the issue of intimate partner violence which to my way of thinking is the preeminent issue for the WNBA going forward. I do think it's important that there is some discussion of intimate partner violence on this board and hopefully going forward not only for the remainder of this season but for the longer-term there will be both conversation and attention leading to meaningful action by the league about this issue.[/I] [/QUOTE]
