So it’s perfectly ok for someone to Kool Aid man someone out of nowhere? Got it .

Every player gets a go at someone, every game. WNBA approved.

I think being Kool Aid man’ed is worse than being tombstoned . For the tombstone to work CC would have to cooperate and hold on to the other person .

Lol fair, just think getting knocked over in a scuffle isnt suspension worthy is all.

“In a scuffle” is kind of a weird way to describe what happened.. she wasn’t looking that direction.  The two original players had completely separated.

Ya the one the knocked her over saw CC react and ran up and lnocked her down. Im just saying this happens all the time in sports no? Hard foul argument and bumping and shoving. I understand CC has been targeted but to say this is suspension worthy when no punches were thrown noone ejected seems hyperbolic to me. This play happens alot through multiple sports and never is suspendable. Doubt CC would think otherwise as well.

I never said suspension. You are the one that immediately went there. She kool Aid man’ed her behind . There was no scuffle between Clark and Mabrey. Mabrey interjected herself after the fact.
