Message: [QUOTE="Roger G, post: 2279381, member: 7083"] Despite leading the WNBA in scoring average, Griner was not voted in as a starter in the All-Star game. This was due largely to fan voting. Players and media had her ranked much higher than fans. It may be that the Glory Johnson incident affected their view of her. Or it may be something else. Anyway, though I have no idea how sincere or committed she is to the causes she was honored for, it was definitely a good business decision for the WNBA to give her this award. They know they have a valuable commodity in her and would benefit from the restoration of her image, especially as it reflects on the image of the league. Call it cynicism if you will, I think it is just the way the world works. Image is everything. [/QUOTE]
