Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3241858, member: 5798"] "I'm not doing it for the money because we don't make enough and they want to fine me for every little thing," Griner said. "I'm getting techs for protecting myself in games and flagrants because they always only see me. [B]They never see anything beforehand.[/B] I'm basically not getting paid this summer already (due to fines)." Although that's an exaggeration, Griner, WNBA scoring leader, six-time All-Star and league MVP contender, is making close to the league maximum $115,000 with the Mercury this season. She makes a seven-figure salary with her Russian team UMMC Ekaterinburg during the WNBA's offseason." There may be some truth to this. [B]Liz Cambage[/B] (Las Vegas Aces) says the exact same thing: "[B]They never see anything before hand[/B]". If you saw her half time interview with Holly Rowe Sunday vs the Sun, you heard her express angst and discuss at the calls going against her this year, and the NON calls shes not getting. In an earlier interview, she called the refs "cowards". Like Griner, she's pissed!! :mad: [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/goto/post?id=3241017']nwhoopfan said:[/URL] Wow, [B]Cambage letting the league know what she thinks about the way smaller players are allowed to defend big post players.[/B] I don't know how the WNBA responds, that would be an automatic fine in the NBA. Responding to the incident w/ Griner last night, as well as her own experiences game to game. [/QUOTE]
