An estrogen-fueled beatdown erupted at a WNBA game last night culminating in a massive, violent pile-up at center court. Rick Mahorn, a 6'10", 270 lb. coach, was faced with a dangerous decision -- stay the hell out of it ... or get involved and run the risk of hitting a lady. Paging Don Imus!
If you ask Lisa Leslie, Rick made the wrong decision.

5. Just because he is a guy doesn't mean he shouldn't be able to step in and break it up. Why is this always a one way street??? The WNBA wants to be taken serious by MEN and male hoops fans, but if they're fighting a man can't try to help break it up. RIDICULOUS!

12. Why do they have to act this way? I guess it's no worse than men's ice hockey or men's basketball, but come on ladies you look like a bunch of street thugs. I feel a bit embarrassed by your behavior and I'm already sick and tired of seeing this footage played over and over in the media giving the racists another excuse to lump us all in the same category. We can do better! SMH

13. Is it just me? Why woudld anybody want to watch women playing basketball? It would be like watching a bunch of Gay men playing lawn hockey. Maybe women who like other women in that special way would be interested, but come on. . . after seeing M.J. play the game watching too tall women running up and down the boards is lame. I'll tell ya what.

14. The girl in the white had NO right to go after the girl in the blue..which I believe is candace parker? Anyways the girl in the white is probably just jealous of Parker's mad skills..for a girl.
And the fact that the dude shoved Lisa Leslie to the floor?! Sickening. It's one thing to try to break up the fight. It's another to go about it the way he did. Restrain the girls. Don't push.
Nice racist comment, TMZ.
