Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 5343219, member: 3834"] Not sure what she could say that would have much relevance. The Aces are certainly one of, if not the worst offenders in terms of waaay too physical play. They also not surprisingly, seem to be among the least penalized for obvious, egregious fouls. I say not surprisingly at least partially because of their obvious preferential treatment not only by the refs but by the league itself, which has allowed a $100,000 stipend to be paid to each Ace’s player from the LV chamber of Commerce for at least the last two seasons. If ever there were a more obvious breaking of the rule against teams supplying extra benefits over and above the salary cap, I’m sure I’ve never heard of it. I suppose my bias is showing here but I have rarely been more disappointed over the result of an award vote than the one that (in my view) took the MVP vote away from Phee and instead gave it to Wilson. I will admit that the vote should have been very close, and even that Wilson might actually have won. However, imo, the tally should at the very least have been close. Just a shame (though there is no denying her dominance in the game) that the best player in the league should be so unlikeable. [/QUOTE]
