I don't disagree, but it's the same in the World Championships with Fiba.Maximum two from one team doesn't make sense. Britney should be on the first team.
Who cares if it doesn't make sense. Have you read The Lottery by Shirley Jackson? It's all about traditions that don't make any sense, but we keep on celebrating them.I don't disagree, but it's the same in the World Championships with Fiba.
Agree with your post though MVP could have gone to at least 4 different players - tough call for sureI posted in another thread - Stewie, Sue, A'ja and Brit all were tremendous. I agree with Stewie as the MVP, but I would argue that Sue was the MIP (Most Important Player). While Chelsea, and anyone else who ran the 1 for the team, was solid for the most part, watching the best PG of all time do whatever the team needed was absolutely incredible.
People kept talking (before the start of the games) about Sue being over the hill, losing a step, etc., but her defense was really good, her decision making and passing (for the most part) was incredible. She found her shooting touch after a slow start, and seriously looked like she could continue on forever. So proud of her, and the entire team for that matter.
Yeah, I loved The Lottery when I read it as a kid, but I am having trouble seeing the analogy.Who cares if it doesn't make sense. Have you read The Lottery by Shirley Jackson? It's all about traditions that don't make any sense, but we keep on celebrating them.
I get it now! In middle school I had to watch that short film they made of "The Lottery" a few times and it always gave me nightmares. Love of human sacrifice explains so much!Yeah, I loved The Lottery when I read it as a kid, but I am having trouble seeing the analogy.
She played so well, I felt good for her. I caught the Sun's home opener in person and she did not look right. I was actually wondering if she was near the end. I can't say that now. She looked like a force for years to come.From what I saw, Britney Greiner was the most dominant player and was the biggest "difference maker" in the tournament
Mmm, I don't think that is the message most would take from it. Try reading the short story instead of watching the movie. It's short and the vocabulary isn't particularly challenging. I'm sure you can work your way through it. I'm sure there are article on line that help you to understand all that the author does in in, if you are struggling with it.I get it now!

Agreed, Brenna the best all round team player. Griner the most dominent!From what I saw, Britney Greiner was the most dominant player and was the biggest "difference maker" in the tournament
The tradition of doing something because it's always been done. Just because it's been only two players from one team doesn't make it right, but they keep on doing it. Whoever is best should be on the final team.Yeah, I loved The Lottery when I read it as a kid, but I am having trouble seeing the analogy.
Got it. I think I The Lottery more as situational ethics. Hutchinson is all in on the Lottery until she loses. I also think of it as an example of group repercussion and intensification. No one in the village would kill individually but collectively they have no problem with it. The dynamic of group action nullifies personal responsibility. We've seen a lot of than over the last year.The tradition of doing something because it's always been done. Just because it's been only two players from one team doesn't make it right, but they keep on doing it. Whoever is best should be on the final team.
Of course they would.No one in the village would kill individually but collectively they have no problem with it.
