It’s going to be interesting to see if the league has the balls to do anything tomorrow. AT is a dirty player. When she tore the **** out of Phee’s ankle you could at least make an argument that she was going for a steal.

This was not a “basketball play”. There is no defense for what she did. No logical explanation. You can’t argue that she was going for the ball because the ball wasn’t there. You can’t argue that she was bracing for a fall because that’s not how humans fall. Nobody balls their hand into a fist to break a fall. It’s a natural instinctive reflex for humans to fall with an open hand.

What Thomas did was a choice. She made a decision to get some shots in on Clark while she was in a prone position. Knee to the groin. Fist to the throat. And then capped off with a deliberate step-over.

None of it was a “basketball play”. None of it is defensible. None of it should be tolerated. This league has willfully put itself in danger of going back to the days of giving away tickets and hoping that the 4000 people who show up spend a lot of money at the concession stand.

As long as this kind of stuff continues to happen, the league is a joke. If the players/coaches/refs can’t take it seriously, why should anyone else

Get Dan Patrick to either talk about it on his show or mention it to Stern for an interview. DP has a YouTube page where people can post messages.

Just saying
Poorly run businesses never realize or accept that they’re a poorly run business regardless of what others say about them….which is why so many go out of business. The WNBA would have been out of business many years ago if it wasn’t a welfare league being supported by the NBA.

League is terrified of being labeled anti black and anti lesbian.

Everything else is secondary, everything.

it’s the only explanation that makes sense.

Thomas is, and always has been, a POS.
She’s the same psycho who got ejected for tackling Angel Reese from behind by wrapping her arm around Reese’s neck.

This is the Jordan Rules all over again and Isiah Thomas is now Alyssa Thomas.

Reese was behind AT on that one. AT kind of did a clothesline choke slam.

Griner and Harrison both tackled her from behind this year, tho.

The second time CC was fouled on the 3pt shot, the one where they reviewed her for hostile action, you can see her reach for her back after she hit the floor. Whatever happened it probably just got worse after a few more minutes, then she was gone real quick

Phoenix has their own version of the dynamic duo - Bonner, the instigator, and her girlfriend Thomas, the enforcer!

I assume you guys haven't seen the replay of Thomas punching Clark in the throat when she was on the ground surrounded by three players. Another totally intentional dirty play with the refs looking the other way...
I didn't get to start watching until just before she left the court. The W is almost unwatchable and it's hard to believe the officiating is that inept.. she's played thru allot of pain before...i would nt blame her if she had a fk this sht moment...
The league has to decide what it is, cause this isn't basketball it's more like WWE

Their actions make it seem more that they are afraid of being pro white and straight. They know exactly how this will play out in both social media and the media in general. Look at the absolute lies that let's say, Sunny Hostin is getting away with now? Absolute untrue garbage that is being taken as fact by a very vocal group that in turn shares that opinion with the world.

Sunny Hostin is a WNBA commentator?? I must have missed that? Or is this off-topic now?

It was the team’s official Instagram page. Probably some low-level peon in the marketing department. My guess is someone from the front office woke up this morning and saw it and told them to delete it.
What I posted was on their X page, so apparently on both. And yes, it was not just some rando fan group.
