Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5300026, member: 12088"] You may be right. But I wasn’t trying to change any opinions. I just find this simple fact really interesting, that Paige does not appear to be changing her style of play to conform to the preexisting norms of the league. I wonder if she’ll end up changing the league by her example. Caitlin is a transcendent talent and has raised the visibility of the league. She deserves a ton of credit for this. She did something similar for the college game, which is not surprising since she was clearly the second best player in D1 across her entire college career. Paige didn’t have a similar impact on the college game. We’ll see if she does something comparable in the W not by raising its visibility but by reforming the culture of the game. I know, I’m a fool and a dreamer— Paige is more likely to be chewed up and spat out by a cruel, indifferent league long before she leaves any notable mark. And this result won’t be at all surprising if the Wings continue to play her for 35+ minutes per game in her first season immediately after she’s completed a grueling NC run. I for one hope she doesn’t play in Unrivaled this year or in any other league, but instead rests up in preparation for her second pro season. [/QUOTE]
