Brittney Griner & Glory Johnson Suspended From WNBA Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson managed to move past their domestic dust-up last month, but it seems the WNBA hasn’t. The freshly married pair have each been slapped with a 7-game suspension from their respective team games — the longest ban in league history. Looks like the president really wants to set an example. Via ESPN : WNBA stars Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson were suspended seven games each Friday for their domestic violence arrest last month — the league’s longest ban in its 19-year history. WNBA president Laurel Richie said the league “takes all acts of violence extremely seriously” in handing down a suspension that represents nearly one-fifth of the 34-game regular season. Richie called the players’ actions “unacceptable.” “Brittney and Glory’s conduct is detrimental to the best interests of the WNBA and violates applicable law,” Richie said in a statement. “We also understand that people make mistakes, and that education and training are as important as imposing discipline.” “I have already learned a tremendous amount from this experience and am committed to improving myself and my marriage going forward,” Griner said in a statement. “I want to thank everyone for their support over these last few weeks. I realize I let down a lot of people who have been champions for me and I will support my teammates and our organization every day until I am back on the court. I am thankful for the opportunity to make positive changes and become a role model for others to do the same.” The WNBA said the two All-Stars must undergo individual counseling. If either fails to comply with that condition or those by the court, the league says it can revisit the case. Well that’s one way to set the precedent. Do you think the punishment was overkill or just enough? Instagram

Darren Sharper Still Eligble For Hall Of Fame Could there be a convicted rapist in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? According to the VP of Selection, it’s a strong possibility. And despite the fact that Darren Sharper plead guilty and was just sentenced to 9 years in the slammer for sexually assaulting women in Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Phoenix, AZ. Via TMZ : Despite the fact he’ll be locked up for the next 9 years, convicted rapist Darren Sharper is still eligible to be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame — and based on his numbers alone, there’s a real possibility it could happen. TMZ Sports spoke with Joe Horrigan — Executive V.P. of the Selection Process for the Pro Football HOF — who tells us there’s nothing in the bylaws preventing a convicted criminal from being enshrined in Canton. Horrigan says as long as the player has been out of the league for 5 years and has made at least 1 All-Pro team … that person is eligible. That being said … the Exec. V.P. says it’s POSSIBLE voters will take Sharper’s crimes into account when voting for the former New Orleans Saints superstar — but they’re not supposed to. FYI … Sharper played 14 seasons in the league and was a 6-time All-Pro … widely considered one of the best safeties of his era. Sharper last played in 2010 … so he would be eligible as early as 2016. Sure he’s eligible …and the stats are what they are. But would the NFL really be so bold as to let an admitted and convicted serial rapist go down in history as one of the league’s shining examples of success? They life their players lead off the field has GOT to count for something in this situation…right?
