I find this pretty interesting. Taurasi should be suspended based on league rules but instead was fined. I understand that this is a championship series but the rules are the rules.
Though it obviously hurts the Sky to not for Taurasi to miss the game, I think it's a smart decision especially given the WNBA is trying to grow and barely on its feet. It reminds me of how the ABA basically had a draft, but they just put the star players in the market where they thought they would make the most money based on college affiliations or local ties or whatever. Anything to try and get the league off the ground vs trying to make sure everything was 100% fair.
The WNBA isn't so big that they should bench one of their superstars in the finals over this.
