The Los Angeles Sparks and Detroit Shock exchanged shoves in what is being dubbed “The First Brawl in WNBA History”. Cheryl Ford of the Detroit Shock and Candace Parker of the Sparks started the bad blood and with four seconds remaining in the game Plenette Pierson picked up where her teammate left off with Parker. When the dust settled three players were ejected, Rick Mahorn was ejected for shoving Lisa Leslie, and Cheryl Ford injured her knee trying to break up the skirmish. I’ll give the ladies an A for effort, but a game outdoors and a few girls pulling each other’s hair isn’t gonna create any new WNBA fans.
