Well, we're about to find out.  If the WNBA folds, at least half of the league's players will simply continue to play in Europe and Asia, and for a lot of money.  If the NBA folds the WNBA, will a new league emerge?

And in terms of players being "vocal," Diana Taurasi stated that it is very rare that the players get to be together and discuss issues of importance to them.  It could be that they are just now finding their voice, and only now beginning to truly organize in their best interests.

I find it very surprising that the fans of women's basketball are so critical of those same women athletes when they talk about negotiating a better deal for themselves, including better pay and working conditions.  I don't understand why these ardent fans of UConn women's basketball, whose players almost all go on to play in the pros, don't want to stand behind them when they speak out for a better deal.

I'm on their side.  I'm rooting for them to get all they're entitled to.
