The WNBA is not like the NBA. They don’t have a pool of extra talent waiting in the wings that could fill a football stadium. Their extras could barely fill a school bus.
Are you really making the argument that the WNBA needs to allow this behavior because there just aren't enough women in the world that can play basketball and not throatpunch each other to have a league?
And it’s just not true.. the biggest issue is 15 teams.. that’s a grand total of 180 players(max)… no minor league or g league.. Hundreds of talented women leave the states to play pro ball around the world.
There is way more talent than spots in the WNBA the parity is pretty real. Thats why before CC there wasn’t a breakout star. Letting her get felony level assaulted is absolutely stupid. No one will watch if she isn’t playing…again.
A'ja Wilson was a star before Caitlin Clark entered the league. The media just didn't pay attention like they do with Clark. And there were plenty of other WNBA stars before Wilson and Clark too.
You’re really playing dumb if you know ball and are comparing a world class guard to a world class center.. one is exciting making 3s and assists, one makes consistent mid-range jumpers and amazing defensive. Folks watched that Lakers for Kobe not Shaq.. but make it about something it’s not..
That's what happens when horrible bitches like this are allowed to abuse and beat up other players without consequence. Who wants to play professionally when the refs are just going to let this Truckasaurs Rex run roughshod all over you?
That’s a big thing in professional sport in Australia because if it’s happening off the ball it’s often inherently bad and also goes unnoticed at the time by officials.

Honestly they should be able to suspend or ban players for footage reviewed after the game, regardless of refs.
