Well, its essentially all one scandal. The Aces tried to play hard ball with Hamby, and didn't treat her very respectfully while trying some underhanded things with her contract. IIRC Hammon questioned her value because she was pregnant, not very politely. I'm not sure this doesn't go on all the time on the men's side. It is disappointing but not shocking. |

I think it went further than that. Promises ... take this lower salary and we'll keep this team together, you'll have a chance to win every year .... But then they traded her and her team-friendly contract to another team ... albeit to bring in CP, which they likely didn't know at the time ... Now she has neither the $$ nor the team ... that wasn't the deal. |

There were also other allegations about the Aces Organization during and just prior to 'free agency' last year, but they haven't been substantiated. You'd think that a league which earns every penny off of the labor of women and which is led by a woman; would be more respectful of those women? www.dailynews.com/2023/05/16/sparks-dearica-hamby-reacts-to-wnba-penalizing-aces-after-workplace-misconduct-allegations/ |
