Well, they showed up for the dinner on Thursday to hand out the post-season awards, so I'm not buying that they wouldn't have gone on Tuesday.
They are not saying who the selected players were, but I suspect if they were Koreans, we would have heard their names so they could be publicly chastised. I suspect it's the golden girls like Thompson and the Kordas who blew it off and Beth-Ann the US rooter is covering for them.
Having said that, I suspect the real problem is MMS; I recall reading an article where she basically took the blame and said that she did a bad job of communicating what was going on. Perhaps everyone thought the dinner was canceled after Williams bowed out? You know how it goes: players ask each other, they say, 'I dunno, I think it's off?' and the next thing you know, no one shows up?
MMS never looks like she's entirely there. Look at that photo with Lydia; could she be more foggy looking?
