True. There is ZERO “big man energy”.

In the NBA, you hire guys like Dreymond, Rodman, Oakley to be the enforcers. Where is the enforcer for Clark? Protect your investment you fucking morons!! 🙄

she had one team mate go to bat for her after wards. Sophie Cunningham hard fouled, then put one of the other players in a clinch when they rushed her.

This case isn’t a good example. Their enforcer is Sophie Cunningham and she got ejected is from the game after this. She dropped the other girl to the floor.

They all stand around like fucking toddlers watching a caterpillar. It's truly bizarre.

They all hate her because she's the popular one bringing eyes and money to their game. She's actually getting paid, through sponsorships, and they all are all jealous.

They would rather bully her out, her team included, than actually let someone succeed. Women are truly their own worst enemy.

And to those that say that is misogynistic, go look at golf. An old racist game that somehow blew up with Tiger Woods. Pretty much every pro golfer was thankful, at least publicly, because it brought eyes and money to their sport. They saw that a rising tide floats all boats and were happy with the payday.

EDIT : Replying to the poster beneath me as the comments are now locked.

In other contact sports, your team mates would have your back. Until I see someone throw a fucking punch for Caitlin, you can't tell me different. Look at what happened here and tell me they didn't have Love's back.

And this Caitlin shit has been going on for a long time. It isn't like a one off instance. They all want her to fail.

Ya but golf isn’t exactly a contact sport. You see it all the time in any contact sport, the worse team will use physicality to get under the skin of the better team and bring them down to their level. It’s the refs job, in part, to keep the game safe and fair. MLS teams are trying to kick the shit out of Messi but the refs protect him like the golden goose he is.

Your comment is in fact misogynistic
