I wasn't expect a blow by blow account, but there was not a word, not a trace
of the Latasha Byears controversy. I was expecting at least a terse statement
ready by the announcers at the beginning, but no go. Val Ackerman was
interviewed at halftime (what was she doing in Minnesota anyways?) and she was
hit with lowball questions and again, nothing about Byears.
As a longtime Sparks fans, I find it incumbent upon the organization to respect
their fans enough to at least acknowledge the existence of a problem which has
been well publicized in the past week. To add injury to insult, lead announcer
Larry Burnett announced that Michael Cooper was the happiest man in the WNBA
because he had Leslie and Milton back in the lineup. Nevermind that Cooper
actively courted the troubled Byears for years before actually signing her onto
the team. He's happy because he has Lisa and Delisha back. So much for the
alleged victim, right?
