That's an interesting statement from her...
I agree with you. If this story was about Steve Nash then it would linger and linger and linger. There would be jokes and pot shots taken on late night TV and all of the ugliness that comes from that sort of a stigma would follow him as long as he played the game and then some.

As it is this is really not news except that Cheryl Swoopes chose to make it a story. It deserves to quickly become background noise.
