Thank you. Your post reminded me of the outburst Lindsey Vonn caused by her desire to compete against men. Only then it was she, the athlete to offered the challenge. One needs to ask why. Maybe the female athletes feel they have to prove themselves somehow...I don't know.

I agree. This seems like a ridiculous circus stunt set up to enrich someone else. It's all downside for Caitlin. She should start training for professional women's basketball; I'm sure that it's very different than the college game, and she needs to be in shape and adding tools to her kit. Her time would be best spent with veterans on the Fever squad. Just say "No", Caitlin.

Exactly. The Big3 folks have made a point of saying the offer is still good, but so far she's been a model of good decision-making on and off the court. A circus to enrich others is a good summary. Thanks, Glenn!
