***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***
- Thread starter LetsGoHawks83
- Start date
Until the constant need by WNBA management, coaches, and refs to pay homage to the “old guard” ends, this will continue. They’re all incapable of taking a stand and calling it out. White either has to be told to say it’s unacceptable or defends it
Some of the media takes are truly priceless.
The Athletic, which is recognized as a leader in sports journalism writes:
"On Saturday, Sophie Cunningham absorbed an arm-to-the-neck from DiJonai Carrington on a layup attempt, resulting in Carrington's ejection."
The next time you see someone get punched squarely in the nose, walk up and tell that person how dismayed you are that they absorbed a hand to their nose.
How dare you come in here with actual WNBA record-setting news?
Who wrote that?
And can we use that for important events in world history?
"Hiroshima absorbed the Little Boy bomb, resulting in a population decline,"
"JFK absorbed the bullet, resulting in blood getting on the interior of the vehicle."
"The Twin Towers absorbed 2 planes, resulting in ash on many windows in that area of the city"
On just 14 attempts.
If the Fever lose Mitchell and are unable to find an adequate replacement that is a record I can see CC breaking, as she will have to shoot a LOT for them to make up for losing KM's scoring.

We all are still waiting for Legend's list of things that Caitlin gets away with that no one else in the league would get away with.

This guy is a clown.
It simply highlights the inaccuracy of reporting to minimize the impact of what actually occurred. You know better than that.
You asked who wrote that. Brian Hamilton of the Athletic.
"It should surprise no one, of course, that Cunningham took a hard foul in a 90-86 win over the Chicago Sky and then elected to give as good as she got. The arm-to-the-neck she absorbed from the Sky's DiJonai Carrington on a first-quarter layup attempt, which resulted in Carrington's ejection, was just the start." -Brian Hamilton
No surprise to anyone?

Give as good as she got? WTF. Some of these people are delusional.
Because he is a click bait attention ***** who rarely has any idea what he is talking about?
The irony.
And shouldn't you be working on YOUR list of things that Caitlin gets away with that no one else in the league would get away with?
Analysis about as deep as an empty match book, heavy on Kardashian style diva drama, content driven by social media slop. Useless bullshiite.
I agree with you on that line.
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.
Any teenage girl who has ever played basketball could do his show …..only better. Sorry, I’m not much interested in the drama.He's just "Calling a spade a spade" that's all. Telling it the way it is.

So now you're a world renowned critic? You fashion yourself as an equivalent to a Rex Reed?
Well, grown women who played aren’t doing a better job, so I don’t know about that.
Who is Rex Reed? I try to stay away from the off-the-court drama / political battles and instead pay attention to the action on the court. If you like it, go for it.
She can get away with hitting the stanchion, oh wait, that was Paige. She can get away with kicking the ball up to herself, oh wait, she got a T for that. She can get away with saying “scoreboard”, oh wait, she got a T for that. She can get away with pushing someone away from her who was coming after her, oh wait, she got a T for that. She got away with clapping, oh wait, that was every other player in the league- Clark got a T for that. She got away with being pushed into an official, oh wait, she got a T for that while another player grabbed a referee and tried to move her out of the way and got away with it. And finally, she got away with a take foul, oh wait, that was called a flagrant on her. Yeah, she gets away with a lot, just never in a WNBA game.
He was a tv and film critic from long long ago. He was renowned, but much like your self, he made errors in his criticism.
Oh OK. I don’t watch many movies …. maybe a couple times per year ( and that is usually forced ). Would rather watch a documentary.He was a tv and film critic from long long ago. He was renowned, but much like your self, he made errors in his criticism.
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.

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.
