[@jacobpro_]

What happened?

[@Mr.Cynical92]

@jacobpro_ In a nutshell, they covered the Chennedy Carter hip check/ shoulder tackle foul on Caitlin Clark. They brought in Monica McNutt, yes that's her real name, to be one of the analysts. She was stating that it was good for the league because they're opening First Take by talking about it. Shannon and Stephen A felt that it's detrimental long term because viewers will turn it off if Caitlin keeps getting targeted and the WNBA does nothing about it. Monica began getting combative and came off as disrespectful to Stephen and Shannon, at least to me she did. They uploaded the segment on their KZbin channel, and a lot of people saw it the same way as me and others, ESPN pulled the clip. Other people have the full 40 minute segment on their channel and if you have Hulu, you can find it there.
