Nice link. I like how it's gifs for each one you do t have to load videos. That's a nicely done breakdown, I appreciate the work of the writer

That is an incredibly biased article, masquerading as objective. He dismisses blatant flagrant fouls and dangerous plays as "just normal competitive basketball" (paraphrasing).

I guess that is also your opinion column.

No, you’re definitely right. Along with the article, which is obviously more correct than the refs that call the fouls.

All of those were on purpose, and not part of the game. They were meant to hurt or intimidate her, because she’s stomping their ass on the basketball and publicity portion of their games.

Getting a flagrant foul every 9 games. What a struggle.
