In the interest of fairness, that was a pretty different situation. While I think what Sophie did was wrong, I understand why it happened and think the blame lies mostly with the refs who failed to control the game. This happened earlier in the game. 3 techs were assessed after review: Clark...

And just so we're clear, the only reason we're arguing about this is because Mr. Tibbs made the unsubstantiated claim that the league was blaming Sophie. This is the kind of nonsense that's the root of many problems with the WNBA: People who don't care about the actual game being played...

Yeah, refs are bad. Common problem in all sports. Clark's tech was rescinded very quickly after the game because it was obviously not tech worthy. Clark might have it the worst, but this is a league-wide problem. But this is also part of what I was talking about with people trying to capitalize...

I would suggest you actually watch the games. First of all, Cunningham is not a star. She's a solid role player off the bench, sure, but she's not a star. The only reason she's popular is because weirdos latch onto her as some "victim." She's not a victim. Second, yeah, Clark's been hard...

Yeah, Carrington was stirring the pot. And yeah, Sophie's been stirring the pot. It's attracting a lot of weirdos who aren't there for basketball. This issue shouldn't be a big deal. Carrington was rightfully ejected for her foul. She then said a dumb thing that shouldn't be cause for some...

Source for the league blaming Sophie?

If that's the interpretation, why is there a "this is bad for the sport" claim?

Dude, what are you talking about? What would be bad for the sport is Argentina committing that foul and getting away with it. The refs didn't determine the outcome; Argentina's reckless play did.

Let's actually look at these games and see if your cursory glance actually holds up. This site notably doesn't just give box scores. It also gives us play-by-play. That will be important for some of those games where you argue Morez "could've played more minutes (but didn't)." So I went...

Tell me you don't watch basketball without telling me you don't watch basketball. Because if you actually watched basketball instead of just looking at box scores, you'd know that coaches from all schools take players out of the game when they pick up their second foul in the first half. So if...

Reading comprehension is at an all-time low here.

Ah, I see what you were going for now. That's a pretty fair train of thought.

That's not a logical conclusion at all. Are you going to suggest that NC State was one of the best 4 teams when they made their Final Four a couple years back? They had a good run and they were playing really well at the right time, absolutely. They were also only in the tournament because they...

Last time Ty played basketball, he was a starter for an Elite Eight team. I guess that season went terribly wrong
