Message: [QUOTE="tchalla1, post: 3217956, member: 9866"] This would have been violative of the player's protective rights of her CBA with the WNBA. There are some notable exceptions, for example, imminent danger or harm, but other than those situations, she could not have been suspended without appropriate due process being followed per the contract. The Sparks have no requirement to assess penalties of the league per the CBA, and therefore it was the league's responsibility to act, not the Sparks. The exception would have been whether the Sparks felt that the player violated team rules, and engaged in the age old "conduct detrimental to the team." [/QUOTE]
