It wasn’t anything malicious for sure but the fact they all act so jelly of her plays into it not to mention the media race baiting like always.Everyone said "basketball play."
To try and take race out of this discussion, I will compare Reese to a white player. That looked an awful lot like a Bill Laimbeer "basketball play."
I know Laimbeer coached in the WNBA for a number of years. Is this his influence?
Who is “everyone”? Angel Reese? The refs called it flagrant.Everyone said "basketball play."
Maybe it was. But she (her hand) was no where near the ball.I agree it was a basketball play, but I bet Reece didn't mind a bit that she smacked Clark upside the head.
Shaudy ... I agree with what you wrote, and I have respected your posts over several years now, so I'll ask your opinion: Whose fault is it that "this will be the topic the next couple days instead of praising Clark for the good game that she had ..." ??? And why does it have to be that way ?Unfortunately race will always take over in any Clark and Reese discussion at this point.
I felt like she went for the ball and missed which happens a lot in basketball . Flagrant 1 was the right call . Of course this will be the topic the next couple days instead of praising Clark for the good game that she had .
Bank that turkey off that whole wheat bread..Who cares. They all need to get back in the kitchen.

And, whatever ... Go 'Cats ! ! !
Not sure I’ve seen many block attempts where they wildly swing their whole arm. Coming from behind as she were should have made that an easier block attempt but she appeared to be going all out for a Kenny walker block on detlef schrempf from back in the day. I’m not entirely sure she hit her in the head intentionally but I am positive she didn’t mind that she did. The jealousy and envy Reese has for Clark is all too apparent.I agree it was a basketball play, but I bet Reece didn't mind a bit that she smacked Clark upside the head.
I mean it’s no different than reading the nba threads that are started on here. This was clearly a WNBA thread you could have ignored (like I do most nba threads) but you chose to participate.Be glad when the dog crap wnba goes on olympic break and when they resume it will be football season and we don't have to read about this nonsense n the media and hopefully on here anymore rest of 2024.

Right it’s just a flagrant 1, happens all the time. But there’s a dude in this thread saying it means she might have a mental health problem. That’s absolutely nuts and it’s racially motivated rhetoric and I’m tired of people expecting me to pretend it isn’t.Does intent even matter if she hit her in the head? Isn't it flagrant regardless?
"It was a basketball play" to me is a copout, just like many of the fouls Laimbeer used to have in his career.
Just like the fastball that comes awfully close to the batter's head. Or the tackle that knocks an unsuspecting player out of the game.
Yea, because those were unintentional. Angel’s was intentional because she is jealous that a white woman is more successful at “her” sport.I was playing with my buddy Luke the other day and accidentally caught him on the chin attempting a steal. A bit later he caught me on my ear trying to block a layup. Neither one of us called a foul, just said my bad and kept playing. That’s why we like playing each other, it’s competitive and fair, nobody bitches about it. Some of y’all never laced them up and it really really shows.
Take up knitting, you are too weak minded to be watching sports. More successful? Who has the ring Poindexter?Yea, because those were unintentional. Angel’s was intentional because she is jealous that a white woman is more successful at “her” sport.
You know that's when the world went to shit was with all that women's right crap back in the 60/70s.. Took all the women out of the kitchens..Who cares. They all need to get back in the kitchen.
Then you have Steven A Smith’s rant about it. Just crazy stuff like man why do you all push this crap. Just talk about the game and the play.Unfortunately race will always take over in any Clark and Reese discussion at this point.

There was nothing dirty about it for sure, it wasn’t like Carter when she just pushed her down after the play.I was playing with my buddy Luke the other day and accidentally caught him on the chin attempting a steal.

You wanna see a media uproar lol yet at the same time they would be praising them making money that way too.The NBA actually has a profit and a legit following. The wnba is a dog crap product and loses tens of millions a year and has to create fake outrage to even get the pathetic increased ratings it has this season with Clark.
I've commented plenty on these threads but they are getting a bit old at this point. It's the same boring topic over and over on here.
I liked the poster in the other thread mentioning how the wnba should replace all ugly players with hot chick's and play topless. Now that'd a ratings solution and bonanza.
When Bill Laimbeer would do something like this, we all called him a thug.Everyone said "basketball play."

She’s deep in Reece’s head. By the way, Clark was the best player on the floor and her team won. Her haters look dumber with each passing moment.I’ll keep my comments to myself on this matter. It’s the result of jealousy first and foremost, tho.
The cheap shot that Reece stood up and cheered, lol.There was nothing dirty about it for sure, it wasn’t like Carter when she just pushed her down after the play.
So does the LSU towel boy.Who has the ring Poindexter?
Woah there. I said the mental health thing after after I said it was a hard basketball play. My point was she went for the block, but absolutely didn't care what amount of contact she made. And the anecdotal mental health part was, looking at her actions since anyone knew who was was, is geared toward an abnormal need for attention. I didn't say "this chick is a mental health danger to herself or others". Her need for attention and her obvious jealously certainly isn't healthy, IMO. To even hint my comment is racially motivated is apauling. Be better.Right it’s just a flagrant 1, happens all the time. But there’s a dude in this thread saying it means she might have a mental health problem. That’s absolutely nuts and it’s racially motivated rhetoric and I’m tired of people expecting me to pretend it isn’t.
I get that. I'm just not sure how she disagrees with the call. She did hit her in the head pretty good. There's a reason it's a rule.Right it’s just a flagrant 1, happens all the time. But there’s a dude in this thread saying it means she might have a mental health problem. That’s absolutely nuts and it’s racially motivated rhetoric and I’m tired of people expecting me to pretend it isn’t.
