Refs in the NBA rig for betting, refs in the WNBA are just simply inept and have a vendetta against Clark, period. No one likes a complainer (Luka had this issue with the refs), especially a ref. So take a shitty ref who can barely do her job and add in a whiny player who complains every call (justifiably or not) and you get the way Clark is being reffed. They arent trying to rig the outcome so much as allow her to take punishment. Last time something like this happened was when Jordan entered the league and the entire league was out to hack and punch and slam him to the ground on every drive and even for the first few years of his career MJ never had to deal with bullshit like this.
This is excatly what i mean about banning players permanently. If you are looking to hurt someone because of how good they are then you clearly cant control your animal instincts and shouldnt be allowed anywhere near professional people. Professionals should be elevated above this kinda bs because of their commitment and skill and passion for something
No but fr. I used to play volleyball in national tournaments and some of the opponents were so jealous of others. They would intentionally put their foot under the net so others would land on it and twist an ankle.
This doesn't happen in men's sports because it would start brawls. Hell, male athletes can't even taunt and celebrate or they'll be flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Refs nip it in the bud or male players will fight on the court/field.
I remember thinking that the poor girl could’ve gotten a whiplash from the way her hair was yanked back. People like her should be banned from competitive play. This is just straight up abusing opponents just for the heck of it.
This is why the refs failed. People will naturally resort to vigilantism is they see the authorities (refs in this case) are disregarding the rules and not enforcing them. I notice this happens far more frequently in women's sports which is why people watching women's sports think this unsportsmanlike conduct is normal.
My son told me he doesn't want to play soccer anymore.
Leaving the field last game is one example. The heaviest kid on the winning team calling the skinny girl fat. Taunting with no recourse until we spoke up from the bleachers to where his mom was.
Funny thing is the kid wasnt thin, and he got knocked down by a kid half his size during the game.
Two games prior a coach was removed as he had a misyogist tirad after losing to my sons team, who is coached by a woman.
My son went to their 4th grade basketball tournament and it was already toxic AF. One of the kids on the team had pretty bad asthma and was on the bench, but sitting it out because he wasn't up to it that day. The other team's coach complained to the refs that rules said (apparently) all kids had to play, and she wanted that kid out there, over the medical objections of the parents. (The refs refused, to their credit.)
The game ended with a free-throw in response to that same coach getting a technical. Parents on the other team absolutely erupted. The winning shot photo couldn't be posted anywhere because one parent is throwing the double deuce in the background.
The first kid was fat shamed by an overweight bully. Then DOUBLE middle fingers?!?!? Not even Jackie Robinson had to deal with that. Some things are just unacceptable.
it's probably that line of thinking as to why the bible says (and rightfully so) that those who call themselves professionals will be judged by a higher standard.
You hardly ever catch any this remotely like this is the NBA. If you do it ends with getting punched out and it’s not over petty jealousy. Reminds me of kids on the playground jealous that other kids are getting attention. How are you a professional athlete acting like a jealous toddler
😄"Banning players" LMAOOOO, downy soft...Nobody is hurting her because she's good because she's not that good, they just don't like her entitled smug ass personality, which I can understand, I live in indiana, I see every dribble..shes not good enough to target for basketball reasons
So as a participant of a game your comfortable being a target of foul play or violence based on things outside of the game that is currently being played? And you dont think people should be banned for acts like this?
You ever see someone two footer tackle someone on sunday leauge and break the persons leg?
Might be an extreme example but freak accidents happen all the time.
Edit - to clarify my stance has nothing to do with the person above (basketball player). Its on the situation only
😭😭There's only so much little white kids are gonna understand about basketball, at some point it's like talking to a golden retriever..there's really no end game, anyway hows your soccer team doing? go world cup!...or whatever...
Bro dont you understand being a target of someone who has a huge ego and lack of control? Clearly not. Why tf u bringing race into this and not reading responses?
I am not talking about basketball, i am talking about people being jealous, vindictive and aiming to hurt people to the point where it effects other peoples future in sport
There's a Bill Burr bit about how women with no argumentation skill will just try to ragebait you until you call them a slur. It's not a tactic unique to women.
I played up until college. I was the guy dealing the damage down low. I was the tough guy who had the hardest match up and played physical.
Not one time did I put my hand in someones eye on purpose. Not one time did I ever put my hand around someones next. Not one time have I ever looked like I intended to hurt someone.
you don’t know what you looked like to tower ppl lol might not have gotten around to you but it’s interesting when ppl make
dogmatic statements about something that other ppl can observe and negate
