If I would be the WNBA Commissioner I would kick Pierson out of the league for such conduct. If you see a start fighting just GTFO. Dont try to make things worse. You're not in a ghetto anymore... Damn!

She fell backwards after swinging away from him. If Mahorn shouldn't have touched an opposing player than where is the outrage at Michael Cooper for doing the same exact thing?

I particularly like the outlined picture. One question though... why can I see the floor decals through Mahorns "extended arms"?

What I find even funnier is that Kno claims he has no bias and that he couldn't care less about Mahorn or anything related to this incident, yet spends god knows how much time making fancy outlined pictures. LOL

Hmm, I thought it was from the fight, but then I checked out the report and they said it happened late in the 4th quarter off of a rebound attempt.

Parker started the whole damn thing, so I guess Parker should be kicked out of the league as well :roll:

Also, for those who actually watched the game, it is clear that most of the blame rests on the shoulders of the refs who were completely horrendous and totally lost control of the game

I think it had to be from a previous injury. In the video (which I haven't watched since yesterday), she really wasn't moving/exerting herself. It just seemed like her leg collapsed on her, and I guess it's remotely possible that her injury could have been caused by that, but it seems more likely that the injury was sustained previously and whatever she did just triggered it.

Mahorn is classless and should be shunned by the WNBA. A grown man should NEVER put his hands on a woman. If he's breaking up the fight he should go to his players, not push a player on the opposite team. Especially a female. That's wrong on all accounts in my book.

how ironic..

Didn't you know? Girls have cooties!

Apparently Mahorn got suspended according to espn

another reason not to watch that league, MAHORN WAS DONE WRONG!

Mahorn got suspended two games for "escalating the altercation" while the two bitches that hit him got 1 game a piece for "throwing a punch".

Candace Parker got one game for starting it while Pierson got 4 games.

She can dunk the ball and is the new darling of the league......didn't you get the memo. But this is a grave injustice on so many levels. How in the hell can they just give Candace Parker one game out when she was already looking for beef after the play with Cheryl Ford? I guess they gotta protect their golden goose.

God knows how much time?

You mean all the 15 seconds it took to make it?

I dunno how long it would take you to outline two people, but its not very long.

Its funny though. I actually didnt know including a 15 second picture to help validate your point was considered being biased. Im sorry. Im guilty. I apologize, and will never do it again, master.

Whats worse... Diana Taurasi got suspended fof two games for cussing at a ref last year. Apparently, she just should've punched him and only gotten a 1 game suspension. What a joke Donna Orender was with these suspensions.

^ ture bs

even funnier, the wnba doesnt even have a "cant leave the bench rule" but for someone reason they applied it to this case lol

^Exactly.

Question to anyone:

If instead of Mahorn doing what he did, if a woman assistant coach did the EXACT same thing he did, and leslie still falling and everything happened the same way, would "she" have been suspended?

Post #176 » by **Danny Darko** » Thu Jul 24, 2008 7:21 pm

Mahorn defenders on here are the most delusional homer tinted opinions I've ever seen. Kno is absolutely right.

Post #177 » by **kno** » Thu Jul 24, 2008 7:24 pm

Damn, suspensions were pretty stupid.

How did Pierson get 4, Mahorn get 2, yet Parker only got 1?

Thats just flat out ridiculous.

Agreed. Both Pierson and Parker should have gotten the same suspension, both either 4 days or 1 day. I'm ok with Mahorn getting two games, but what about Milton-Jones, the player who actually punched Mahorn on the back? What about Leslie who also swung at Mahorn? Seems to me like lots of bias going on.

And poor Cheryl Ford...She has had trouble with her knee for a very long time, re-injured it during the game, and finally tore her ACL trying to keep her teammates away from the brawl. In any case, these two teams are not done yet. I expect them to meet again in the finals, which should be a good one.

I hope you're joking.
