Darren Waller just married: how does that work?

Red Right Hand : 3/16/2023 1:21 am
His new wife is a Pro basketball player. For Las Vegas. He
plays in NY. How is that going to work? I can see that being a major source of friction, or am I missing something? I doubt they are indifferent to being around each other in season. Don't see newlyweds being keen on being seperated.
As long as his contract doesn’t say schoen

Isn't the WNBA season during the NFL offseason?

So I don't see much problem there. She can live here during the NFL season and vice versa during her season.
Pretty sure he can afford as many plane tickets as he needs

He gets to focus on football and not have to have any arguments or anything at home? How is this bad?

your right hand is red.

Waller was just basically given a 9 month hall pass and you're worried how his marriage is going to work.

his marriage will never be better.
The guy is off for almost 6 months

Does her team play the Liberty in NY, and don’t we play LV this year?
How does it work?

Spider56 : 3/16/2023 9:22 am : link
Seriously, she’s a high level athlete and athletes understand commitment and sacrifice; this is a non issue. I’d be more concerned if she was a glitter girl like the one who ruined Russell Wilson.
WNBA Season is May through Sep  
Jim in Forest Hills : 3/16/2023 9:23 am : link
So looks like the main months are Mid July through mid Sep - about 2 months they will be apart.

WNBA regular season  
k2tampa : 3/16/2023 12:43 pm : link
ends on Sept. 10, so not a lot of overlap. Giants training camp starts in the middle of July. So basically two months and however long LV is in the WNBA playoffs. But he is hardly the first athlete whose team plays in a city where he or she does not live. And even if they live where they play, baseball players (and the support staff and reporters who cover the teams) are away from home for half the days from the start of April to the end of September.

And the idea this is such a hardship facing athletes is misplaced. Plenty of couples have long distance relationships while working in different cities. How long do you think truckers are away from their families in a year? Try being a reporter covering a candidate in a national political campaign, you won't see home for months. During the worst of COVID, traveling nurses were doing three- and six-month stretches away from home to help out in places where the disease was the worst, living in temporary housing and risking their lives every day. And, of course, let's not forget the military. Very few who deal with this are making $11 million a year. And for most, it's not a 2-month thing, it's year-round.

So let's not be too concerned about the multimillionaire who can afford to fly first class whenever and where ever he wants. Not to mention she has two games in Connecticut in June, and two games in NY, and a game in DC before the NFL regular season starts. They are both pro athletes, they are used to traveling for 'work' and being away from their significant other.

steve in ky : 3/16/2023 1:00 pm : link
once one of them retires they will have a lot easier schedule.

What about other jobs where one spouse spends most of the time on the road, and do it for years?

I’m sure they will be fine and it’s certainly nothing we need to worry ourselves over.
