Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3242178, member: 9403"] Here's the other thing I find interesting about all this. There are some players like Griner and Cambage that are very vocal about things like being fouled, and yeah, they're a few inches taller than Stewwie, A'ja Wilson, Candace Parker, Nneka Ogwumike, EDD, and other tall forward/post players. And yet I basically never hear complaining from Stewwie, A'ja, Parker, Nneka, EDD, etc. about how they are always getting fouled, always getting mishandled, it's not worth playing this league, yada yada yada. And not coincidentally, I [I]also[/I] don't see those aforementioned players involved in these kinds of dirty plays. There is no highlight reel of Stewwie throwing elbows and chopping people on the block, because she doesn't play that game. At some level, TBH, I just feel like the same players who whine about non-calls and mistreatment are also often the ones caught acting out on court, so to some degree it's the convicts running the asylum. Griner, Cambage, etc., are terrifically talented and great players to watch perform impressive physical feats on the court, but frankly, I'm beginning to think they bring a certain amount of it on themselves, and the constant whining in a league that already has dozens of other image problems is just not going to help the product.
