As a sports fan, a one-time amateur athlete, and as someone who has played and coached several sports, I have to ask a question that I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to ask.

What in blazes is going on in women’s basketball, and in particular, the WNBA, or Women’s National Basketball Association?

There was once a time, in a less than perfect life, when a boring Saturday afternoon at home might be enlivened by a google search along the lines of “women fighting,” or some other absurd search that would yield a YouTube video of a bunch of girls fighting after school, in school, at the bar, at the beach, at the concert, hell even at the hairdresser.  I’ll freely admit that watching such videos says as much about the individual doing the searching as it does about the girls scrapping in the cafeteria at lunch.  It’s not a good look for any of us.
