Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3222384, member: 7748"] I couldn't agree with you more. On an individual level the league has a moral and economic responsibility in providing services in this area to members. I think your analysis is dead right on in terms of both the impact of failure to do this on audience as well as the detrimental impact the players in the lead. The Williams case will have significant consequences not only to the player but to the league. Sports illustrated journalist McCann has done a commendable job using the Williams case to make the point you have in your post regarding the impact on the league. The WNBA is currently where the NFL was on this topic 10 years ago. Frankly I'm surprised that action wasn't taken years ago. The Griner Johnson fiasco certainly should have provided the impetus for serious attention. [/QUOTE]
