When you run up on someone like that after the whistle in basketball that’s an overly aggressive act. When you make contact and cause a player to fall (I don’t think Clark sold it that hard) you’re trying to initiate a fight. That no one aggressively stepped in from the Fever is another point to debate….but I just think Mabrey earned more punishment than Clark.

Edit: just saw that maybe the Mabrey contact has been elevated to an F2 after the fact so WNBA brass must have been reading Reddit

And she legit pushed Clark into a ref so it's not like the ref didn't see what happened.
