Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 4819589, member: 199"] With the penalty for overseas pay, I doubt Tiffany will be the only WNBA player opting out of playing. It is a longer season overseas, the pay is better, and then you get the summer off to recover. Competing 12 months a year is OK if you are both healthy and young. But what might be fun and 22, can be draining at 32 and shorten the actual years you can compete. Gabby is likely headed in this direction as well, and fewer foreign players will be coming into the WNBA as well, or opting for shorter careers in the W. I understand why the new contract wanted to keep players in the US, but it also has consequences. I remember the fallout when Diana chose her European team that one year, but I don't blame her at all. [/QUOTE]
