lfs,

I understand what you're saying. The amount of positive PR that they are going to get does not equal the amount of effort they put into giving that women this share. I think it's awesome that they did this, but I am sure the ESPN hype machine will turn this into something it's not.

Well put. No one's saying it's not a nice gesture, just that it's not all it's going to be made out to be.

But the players didn't ask for anyone to make anything out of this at all. Yes, the media's blowing it way out of proportion, but that doesn't mean some nit has to come on here and say "hey, the players are filthy stinkin' rich, if they were *really* charitable, they'd give her a million each" (paraphrasing).
