Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4376688, member: 26"] I'm still not understanding the "quit" moniker that "some" are attributing to her. Did she stop playing well? Did she purposely sandbag her team? Did she stop giving effort when she was on the floor? Why, if she decided to go to a new team, is the term "quitting" being attributed to her? The WNBA is a business. They cut, trade, and move players for whatever is in their best interest. Chicago made the decision to treat Gabby in such a way that when she came back from her overseas commitment last season, she was unable to play for ANY WNBA team. She had to sit out the year. Look at all the players who have bounced from team to team in WCBB. Some of them are even stars. Do UCONN fans, or fans in general, start calling them quitters? I just love Tina. I think it's insane that she was not invited to the as one of the 30 players in the pool to the USA National Team tryouts. The fact that UCONN fans were not shocked by this is mystifying to me. Tina was 15th in the league in scoring this season, and 9th in rebounding. Plus, Tina has been a rock for Team USA since 2010. Did you guys know that Since 2013, Charles has donated her full WNBA salary to the charity she started, Hopey's Heart Foundation? In 2020, Charles announced she would direct that year's salary to support the Black Lives Matter movement. She just does kind and selfless things. [/QUOTE]
