![]() Topic: Why Has This Not Been Mentioned?Posted: 07Mar2008 at 5:57pm |

I do not know why this has not surfaced yet, but last season Bo Overton made several attempts to be as physical with his athletes as they are with Basketball. This was brought to the attention of the Sky staff at the end of last season, and very little has been done. I do not understand how a professional basketball program can support this. I think that it is terrible to think a player may be on the team or not be, or may play or not play depending on what they do with Bo physically. Am I the only one that feels this way? Is there something here in Chicago I have not read on this issue? I would like to hear the defense of the Chicago Sky or the comments Bo would make regarding the situation he placed himself in.
I think when your all-star player says she will not play if Bo Overton stays in Chicago, even requests a trade because he is still present, I think at this point it should become public for everyone to hear about. I think it is sick that the Sky continue to cover this up, I think that if they have passed on to the WNBA and nothing has been done about it then I look down on the league for this. I think of last season where Deanna Jackson hit a girl in a foriegn country and was suspended from the league ultimately not playing in the WNBA for the entire season, then look at a coach threatening and sexually harrassing a player then say HUH! |

You amaze me every single time with your inside knowledge. Where on earth did you get this one from?! They would crumble if this came out. Although I would not put it past Bo because I remember hearing some rumblings like this while he was at Oklahoma. If it means keeping our players happy then he needs to go ASAP. There is no room for that kind of stuff in this league.
He's definitely an upgrade from Dave Coward but I would not shed a single tear if he left. May do the team some good, considering he doesn't appear to know what he's doing during the games anyway. And if we lose our "allstar" whom I assume is Candice, I will NOT be a fan of the Sky, especially if his inappropriateness is the reason. Chicago Sky Staff take notice! |

Well now that ChiSkyFan has messed up my effort, I'll say what I was thinking, and what I think every time Cinderella posts something like this: I refuse to take something this important as anything other than garbage without something more than Cinderella's word, which is all she has ever given us to go on. This isn't the 1st time we've heard this song and dance from Cinderella and all we ever get is a song and dance. I want some proof, or I write it off as garbage.

I don't know who Cinderella is, but I do know that the comment is absolutely true. Sky's Allstar player did ask for a trade because of Bo Overton's actions and the lack of support from the president and owner of the Sky. The Sky staff should have initiated an investigation immediately after they found out about the sexual harassment from Bo Overton towards some Sky players. The Sky staff has tried to down-play the situation and are taking Bo's word over 13 players...how can 13 players all be wrong??? Did any of you ever wonder why Bo Overton always took out his key players in the most crucial moments of many games last season to put in all his blond players??? Very noticeable to many sky fans!! Bo must go and the owner and president of the Sky need to start acting like they know how to run a business and manage their staff and stop acting like nothing is wrong...wake up Michael and Margaret...the balls in your court now.

For those of you who take advantage of the information they read on this blog then I hope your being informed before the topic goes public is credited. AND..... YES STACEY DALES is retiring... so enjoy our frigid weather here in Chicago and happy posting.

Bullsky, Huskie, Idchafee... do you not believe what this says? Or are you affraid that it is true? Please let me know how in your mind you feel the discomfort of an athlete and sexual harrassment of a coach is in any way, shape, or form acceptable on a team you are proud fans of? Every piece of evidence has to have an original author, you just are lucky enough that you have it HERE.

Its the 1st one. I don't believe you. I hear nothing about this from anyone besides you and you're just a anonymous name on an internet forum. What evidence have you given me or anyone to prove you're anything other than an everyday internet loon? edit: you can start by telling me how you came by this information. Are you a Sky employee? A UIC one? How did you get this info when as far as I can tell, NO ONE ELSE HAS IT? Edited by idchafee - 09Mar2008 at 7:49pm |

Actually many people have this information, they just do not care about the other people to share it with them. Since this is a forum for SKY members, and this is in direct correlation with a SKY issue, I felt it was your right to know of such an issue. I could however just let it go, but since you already know, I would assume you would try to find out if it was true or not rather than being an ass and trying to defend a defenseless case. I do appreciate your kind thanks in advance for the information, and once again, this is a FORUM which is a part of the new thing called "The Internet", where IDENTITY is sorta a big deal. (yes I know the internet is not new for those who are a little slower than others) |

In other words, you expect me to just believe you at face value. Sorry, not happening.
