The Aussie Amazon has hung up her WNBA kicks? She was a hard, physical worker with a solid decent streak. I loved how she refereed the 'dispute' between Candace and Glory Johnson last season when CP3 thought Glory had hit Chelsea really hard on purpose and CP3 was threatening to go all gangster on Glory. Erin pulled Candace aside to inform that it was she [Erin herself] who had accidentally clocked Chelsea. Candace hugged Glory apologetically after the game.

I find it hard to believe no other team was interested in bringing her in. Mostly Phoenix & Chicago.

Why do you want Phoenix to pick her up, she left Phoenix on her own two years ago so why would they bring her back, they don't need another guard they're set with their lineup,maybe you don't like their lineup but they're ok with it!

Definitely a tough, streaky, bold player who was quite entertaining when on her game. I would have welcomed her on NY in prior years, though this year I feel they're better off going with what they have. That said, there's got to be a team who could still use her this year I would think.

It's not rugby that she plays, it is Australian Rules Football. Totally different sport.
The first ever women's national league season just finished here a few months ago. It was only a 2 month, 8 team league, but it was a success, and Erin got more love & recognition down here in that short time than she did her entire basketballing career, so it would be no surprise if she wanted to continue that. (although there is zero clash with the WNBA season, so there's nothing footy-related that is stopping her playing basketball this year, and in fact the Opals are now probably looking at getting her involved in the program this year, as they have the FIBA Asia tournament in July and could probably use her experience with Leilani in Phoenix)
Basketball is still a frustratingly minor sport here.

They used to show Australian Rules Football on ESPN back in the 1980's before ESPN was the big thing it is now. There was a very old woman in my apartment complex who loved watching it and she told me with a laugh that it was because she loved "watching those athletic young men run around in their shorts".

I didn't have cable but I remember the women in my apartment complex chuckling about a very old woman who loved watching AFL for an openly stated reason of enjoying watching "those athletic young men run around in shorts".

Haha ... when I type "Warwick Capper" (80's footy star) into google, the first suggestion that comes up is Warwick Capper Shorts
I doubt the 80's shorts will ever be back, but AFL still manages to maintain a strong female fan base.
