Candace Parker's Pregnant And The WNBA Might End Because of it! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 01-08-2009, 09:12 PM

Here's a thing Kobe Bryant will never be asked to address: why did the birth of your child have to coincide with the commencement of the NBA season?

The announcement that Candace Parker, the Associated Press female athlete of 2008 and the marketing face of the WNBA will give birth this spring required statements from both the LA Sparks ownership and the WNBA league office.

The league has been hanging on by a thread for a number of years now and it has seen franchises tumble into the financial abyss. Parker brought a youthful presence and a talent as big as any ever seen in women's team sports. But she's only played one season for the WNBA and it appears there will be an absence of some undetermined length.

They won't admit they are concerned. The closest anyone came to making it sound as if this was an inconvenience or a blow to the league's growth plans was a statement from Kathy Goodman, an owner of the Sparks. as reported in the Los Angeles Times of this date.

I didn't think anybody would really care, but it seemed like an interesting story.

Well, thanks for sharing it anyway, Brian.

If she was pregnant during the season - I'm talking like 7-9 months pregnant, then I think I might watch the game.

I know it's Sherwin Williams, but I just couldn't resist making the joke.
