This has been a really bad week for me. In contrast to the NCAA final, WNBA draft night left me heart-sick. I'm a Sun season ticket holder and care very much about the team. It was bad enough that Kara left apparently due, directly or indirectly to Sun mismanagement.
Sun management lit a fuse they did not understand and blew the damn thing up by accident... dopes.
Now Tina's gone and rubbing salt in that wound is the fact that she has gone to Laimbeer... that smirking punk, bully, flopper and cheap-shot artist that I have hated since before Tina was born. Now that bag of trash is in the newspaper saying that he expects Sun fans to "express their anger and disappointment" with Tina when the teams play at the Mohegan. I hope to high heaven that this does NOT happen. Tina deserves better treatment from Connecticut fans. Polite applause should be the appropriate greeting... not asking for a standing ovation, just acknowledgement for all she has meant to us over the UConn and Sun years and for her charitable work off the court.
Yup, she ripped my heart out and stomped on it. But it was gonna happen someday and I get it. She goes home, which is clearly EXTREMELY important to her. She'll play in MSG for a coach/GM (as much as I hate to admit it) with a winning history, and they will likely win a lot in the next few years.
Bottom line - with tears in my eyes, I'll be giving Tina my polite applause and will wish her well. I really hope that is the order of the day. I'd be curious to know what other likely attendees think.
