So, player behavior isn't being enforced on an equitable level because of this?
I would think a claim like that would have more supporting examples.
And it could be interpreted that this example would actually signify the opposite. Pretty much every player would be punished as appropriate for the specific incident. But you're asking that AT be judged in a different way.
I'm not saying that it wouldn't be fair for AT to be judged in that way. Just that, "equitable", would become questionable wording
And still, the additional punishment wouldn't have a darn thing to do with CC.#1. 10 game suspension. 10K Fine.
#2. Refer to post #8351 #2.
Sorry you're not having fun.
Nor would it do a darn thing for CC
Never understood the point of mischaracterizing something that can be revealed with the press of a "play" button.
SMH
Man, people are stupid.
I don't love what AT says here.
But why is it so hard to simply listen to what is actually said?
The liberty people take in publicly mischaracterizing others these days is disgusting
She tried to downplay what she did. She even said "I didn't know that it happened."
I'd tell you to read better, but like you said, seeing as there's video evidence, you cant unf*** your way out of this one. All that's left is for you to dig down.........
What does this even mean?
She's hurt? Yeah, it sucks.
Injuries happen in sports.
Are people looking for something to blame for that, too?

At no point did she say what the tweeters claimed she said.She tried to downplay what she did. She even said "I didn't know that it happened."

Thus, the mischaracterization
You mean like her mischaracterizing what she did?.........
According to an ESPN reporter for the WNBA...........one of Cathy Englebert or Alyssa Thomas is factually lying after statements made today.
I've already said, I don't love what AT did say.
But she didn't say, that what she did was ok based on the fact that no one saw it. And that is what the those two particular tweeters are claiming she said.
Mischaracterization. Pretty straightforward
And I'd venture to say, things wouldn't have gotten as bad for CC in the 2nd game vs Phoenix, had Sophie not had been trolling in the first game.
I'd say Sophie's behavior lately has been the opposite of an enforcer. Pretty unfortunate
Can't make what up?
Why would you have a problem with this? No reason for death threats
Take your pick. Too many situations have happened and almost all of them involve Clark, yet the W does nothing about it. They give her technicals for nothing and never rescind them. They install freedom of movement fouls that only Clark does not benefit from. They use bench players in game promos instead of Clark. They leave her off the 30 year poster. She’s the biggest draw in the league, by far, yet the league tries to distance themselves from her. If that’s not a bias against her, then I don’t know what is.
History matters…so someone who gets caught robbing stores four times should get the same punishment as someone who did it once?
And THAT right there says it all.......
LOLOLOLOLOL......... And THIS is the first time there has been ANY statement from the top on ALL of this. Go figure.....Why "eyes" is the first public statement from the "commish" on player safety during all of this fallout? Quite a few NBA players, (all of them black by the way) have come out and said that claims that the action by Thomas were accidental are totally BS. They all said that NO ONE falls and tries to catch their weight by balling up their fist. NO athlete would fall that way. You would run a high risk of breaking your knuckles or wrist by making that kind of movement, and it is NOT a natural movement. When you fall you spread your fingers out and use the width of the hand and palm to catch yourself. Not my statement.

Unfortunately Sophie and Bonner have their own History. Most of her actions had nothing to do with that game. Bonner like Thomas has a history as an antagonist, and her "walking out' on the Fever last year certainly gained her no love lost from the players or fans of the team.
Are you OK, bro? I feel like your dog just died.
It's smart business to market other players while they have the gust of CC behind them.
They had no NIL rights to put CC on the poster. Yes, it would be smart marketing to have CC on it. But I'm not sure for what other reason she would be on the 30 year poster.
I have not seen any technicals that should be rescinded. Got a link to anyhing?
"Install" freedom of movement calls? Was the rule not already in the book? I highly question that any rule is being is being called differently for CC, specifically. Links?
I see no evidence here of "bias", or the league "trying to distance themselves from CC"
