Aces grounded on way to D.C.

After being delayed for more than 24 hours in airports, the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces decided not to play their game against the Washington Mystics on Friday. The team can now relate to Viktor Navorski, Tom Hanks' character in the Steven Spielberg movie "The Terminal." But some fans were less sympathetic to the Aces, saying they should have played the game after finally arriving in Washington. WNBA teams fly commercial to games to save money on charter flights. It was the first time in WNBA history a game had been canceled.
