SAS had an opportunity to respond to Molly, but he took the high road to avoid a fight. I think that was a mistake. The hip check by Chennedy did not happen in a vacuum. It was the last straw. Look at all three women's faces. They were not happy about what SAS was saying... they were squirming. McNutt kept taking sips from her coffee cup. It was awkward. The reason this has become such a huge story that won't go away has little to do with Caitlin Clark, and everything to do with female psychology as a whole. Just look at the three women's faces. They say it all...

@@mrv1bez113 that’s the bigger picture the FUTURE. You just said it yourself and also two different situations when angel got that hard foul you’re speaking of. The player accidentally went under her because they were fighting for a rebound. That made Angel almost have a serious nasty fall. End of story because that is just basketball. The foul on Clark was pure hate and had nothing to do with basketball. So I have no idea where you’re going with that. Anyone that has eyes and watches basketball realizes Clark had her back turned on an inbound and that’s extremely different than getting tangled up in a rebound. I’m not to sure what you’re on about and all the capital letters and excessive punctuation is to telling that this is emotional for you.
