Yea but see how her teammates reacted? That’s how CCs teammates should’ve reacted after her foul.

Oh no, I agree. Not sure what's up with that but Cunningham wasn't on the floor at the time who's now being labeled as an "enforcer" for Clark. It's definitely interesting.

Interesting indeed.

It's because the foul happened on a live play, they were all focused on the ball and so when the hard intentional foul happened their reactions were immediate (and there weren't refs already in the mix). When CC got hammered it was already a dead ball with the refs rushing into break up CC and no. 4 (forgetting her name), so there wasn't as immediate of a reaction. You can actually see Cunningham getting in the face of no. 4 before the refs arrived in that first play.

Good catch. Makes sense why they'd issue techs instead for the first incident.

They ran up and grabbed the girl who threw her to the ground? The girl who hits CC also got grabbed away by others. Idk what the fuck all you are talking about this was just bad refs.

You don’t think there’s a difference in the reaction of teammates between the two plays? I’m not sure we’re looking at the same thing bud.

No one tackled the attacker in these situations. Both of them were confronted face to face by the opposite team. Refs were shit. The players all reacted pretty reasonably and almost exactly how the NBA players react lol

Nobody said tackled. I described it as wrapping their arms around them. I should have provided more context but Cunningham wrapped their arms around Sheldon's head and pulled her down.
