Why is Sheila Johnson considered the owner of the Mystics here, but in this and other articles you read that Monumental Sports
is? |
My understanding is that Monumental owns the whole shebang. Johnson has a piece of Monumental and is the public face of ownership when it comes to the Mystics. According to their website, she's the "managing partner". |
That's correct, though Johnson has been less and less of a public face as the novelty has worn off and as her trashing of the franchise after the 2010 season made her less than beloved among many fans.

Awful, awful name. But the mascot should be Belinda Carlisle. |

my first thought was of a child, hand clasped between legs and saying loudly, 'mama I've got to go-go'

My first thought was how difficult it would be to play basketball in boots like that

These boots are made for walking, er, that's old school for traveling.

No Meesseman this season...she's taking time to rest and prepare to play for Belgium.

Is Belgium headed to the World Championships? Maybe she wasn't happy with her playing time last season?

I doubt playing time has much to do with it. She played just a smidgen less in 2017 than she did in 2016.

Yes. Hence why there's any point in staying home. |

As I said earlier in this thread,"move Emma to the bench".It makes no sense to have the starting lineup in constant flux.Especially when the Mystics already have a legit PF(EDD)

She was probably so pissed you suggested she be traded for Angel, that she's taking the season off.

You can't really blame Meesseman for taking the time off ... she's been going year-round for a while now. And barring a disastrous injury, she will be welcome in the WNBA for many years to come whether she takes an occasional summer off or not.
