Kate was even a victim, wow. And the "Rake" at 0:14. ESPN the world wide leader in woke struck again.
White takes this stance because she needs a job. That is why she constantly takes both sides of any issue with her team. She needs the WNBA because no college would ever employ her. Just an employee repeating the company line. Remember, she coached many of the goons in the W, probably taught them a few tricks. I really wonder what level of respect her players have for her after listening to her postgames pressers.
She's not the only one to be T'd up for that
She didn't do that...she may have tried do, but that is not what she did.
Both parties were told to shut up and both parties continued to swear at each other so were both T'd up.
Paige got a T for that this year as well.
Other players have been T'd up for contact with a ref.
He's just "Calling a spade a spade" that's all. Telling it the way it is. You're deeply offended with truth, aren't you? You trust the mainstreamers who push a Woke agenda over what's really happening. Well, you're getting the perspective of the fanbase, and it's not as rosy as you may like. Any time a mainstream media figure says that Cunningham "Got what she deserved", then you have real credibility issues. Listen to the fans speak, instead of your friends at ESPN.
Some quotes from Ben Daniel:
"Kelly Krauskopf has restored hope"
Stephanie White "is one of the better WNBA coaches"
"No longer will have to watch 13-0 runs and wonder where the timeout is"
She agreed that the flagrant 2's in both cases were deserved. But said Alyssa Thomas shouldn't get death threats and Dijonai wasn't trying to intentionally take Sophie's head off. That's a pretty low bar for both sidesing an issue.
Almost no coach is willing to call opposing players dirty or say they are trying to injure people. So if you've got a problem with what Steph White said I'll bet you you'll have a problem with CC's next coach because it will sound pretty similar to what we've heard from White.
These are good points. To me, it all starts with the Commissioner. The only thing she's done as of late, is to take a step forward to address the "What is a woman issue" surrounding the league, with the all-inclusive narrative on the line. The officiating, and I use this term loosely, is still reprehensible, and player "Physicality" is still going unaddressed. Don't forget that she herself highlighted the physical nature of the league, as well as the league hyping it in commercials. A player like Cunningham who has spoken openly and candidly about protecting women in sports, is met with intense anger and scrutiny, not only by players in the WNBA, but by certain media outlets as well. This does not bode well with their agenda(s). For people to criticize Cunningham for being so vocal and transparent about her convictions, and then ignore the fact that some WNBA players have targeted both Cunningham and Clark, and have even gone as far as issuing veiled threats online, is unacceptable. But then again, there is no leadership at the top not only to address these concerns, but sit idly by until the league implodes or a player suffers a potential career ending injury.
The definition of flagrant foul 2 in the wnba has intentional in it. How much more do you need? Please respond to my point that she coached both of them plus Sheldon.
Wheres the list of stuff Clark gets away with???
Shocking four black women defending another of the thugs in the league. Mcnutt can't stand Clark and generally takes the anti Clark stance when conversations come up.Andrea Carter has been dissing Clark since her junior year in college when ever an opportunity arose. Nothing to see here...

It makes sense that you would have a problem with YT podcasters like Ben Daniels.
Here is how the WNBA rulebook spells out a Flagrant 2:
Section IV—Flagrant Foul
a. If contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpreted to be unnecessary, a flagrant foul—penalty (1) will be assessed. A personal foul is charged to the offender, and a team foul is charged to the team.
PENALTY: (1) Two free throws shall be attempted, and the ball awarded to the offended team on either side of the court at the free throw line extended. (2) If the offended player is injured and unable to attempt their free throws, that player’s coach will select one of the remaining four players in the game to attempt the free throws. (3) The offended player’s coach will pick the substitute, who may not be replaced until the ball is legally touched by a player on the court (EXCEPTION: Rule 3, Section V, e). (4) The injured player may not return to the game (EXCEPTION: Rule 9, Section II, a(2)). (5) A player will be ejected if they commit two flagrant fouls in the same game.
b. If contact committed against a player, with or without the ball, is interpreted to be unnecessary and excessive, a flagrant foul—penalty 2 will be assessed. A personal foul is charged to the offender, and a team foul is charged to the team.
Kinda like how Jason Whitlock was pro-Caitlin going into the season, and then spent the first month or two of the season jumping on the anti-Caitlin bandwagon because it was more attention-grabbing to complain about her behavior with the officials.
He's since flip-flopped back after Caitlin was one of the few who didn't embarrass themselves at the All-Star game.
One minor correction. The rule states "Unnecessary and Excessive". Intent is more in the way of being Implied, however. In Carrington's situation, her past implies that there was indeed intent.
If there was a contest between Whitlock and Stephen A. Smith, I'd have to give Smith the edge in the Fence Jumping Competition!
Will be interesting to see what the market holds for Sophie....she's making $665,000 this season...and has career highs in FG%, 3PT% and FT%...but there are obviously points of contention between her and many players...does CC go to bat for her and get the Fever to re-sign her? Does her value to them go up if Mitchell leaves and they struggle to find someone close to her value?
Megyn Kelly is another one who's been flip-flopping a lot this season.
"Unnecessary" and "excessive" are the two key criteria of a flagrant 2. Intentional is no where in the definition.
I'm not sure what point you're making. Everyone knew she coached Thomas, Carrington, and Bonner before the Fever hired her. Are suggesting that White's past relationship with these players is preventing her from calling their behavior out?
Because everyone here praised her based on the way she tried to defuse the Connecticut/Indiana drama during Caitlin‘s rookie season when she was actually coaching Thomas, Carrington, and Bonner.
Also White did not coach Sheldon so that's another swing and a miss for you.
The Fever also (or at least did) see players like her and Lexie Hull as revenue-generating team mascots.
Legend only in your own mind
I'm sure the Fever's appetite for more Sophie will be determined by how she finishes the year. She's been great offensively for much of the season but has put up three straight stinkers. If she doesn't snap out of this funk I wouldn't be surprised if they let her walk.
The CC aspect will be interesting, I think it's pretty obvious she is annoyed and tired of the off court circus she has to deal with. So I don't think she was thrilled to have to answer questions about Sophie's trans athletes comments.
Who gives a ****? Did Jordan or Magic ever get away with anything? Or you and your job?
?????. Do you actually read through these forums? A certain "legendary" poster has regaled us for a couple of days that Clark "gets away with lots of stuff" that other WNBA players don't. Others would like to know just what this supposed list is.
He's relying on old news. This wasn't too long after Sides was replaced, and we were all hoping for our great "White" hope to save us. Over time, we all said:
Did you see the look on Carrington's face as she rakes the player with her nails? Diabolical.
Appears she was satisfied with what she did-terrible!
@ legend, nu2u, bigZ, wdmns. Hope you guys are taking your meds because the facts in this post may push you over the edge.
I can't believe anyone with eyes and ears still gives White the benefit of the doubt. She's a ******* joke
