I tuned in as soon as I got home, expecting to see a competitive game unfold before my very eyes. I had no idea that I was going to see a fight break out.

Apparently it had been a pretty physical game between the LA Sparks and the Detroit Shock. I hadn’t known that when I flipped on ESPN 2. All I know is that Candace and Plenette Pierson started going at it. Next thing you know, both team benches are on the court pushing and shoving one another, including the coaches. Lisa Leslie got pushed to the ground in the scuffle and three players were ejected. It was a mess.

This is something I expect to see in the NBA. Sorry fellas, but all that testosterone makes you act foolish sometimes in the heat of the moment. I thought that we women had more self control than that. Parker has been faulted before for letting her emotions get the best of her. And this time she went too far. There are going to be suspensions and fines handed out for sure. And with the WNBA regular season coming to a close, this doesn’t bold well for the Sparks.

I know many people expected Parker to shape a new image for the WNBA. But I don’t think this is what they had in mind …
