Phoenix Mercury associate head coach Kristi Toliver showed support on Instagram for Alyssa Thomas, who was suspended for one game for punching Caitlin Clark in the throat.
She included a quote from Michelle Obama’s 2016 DNC speech: “When they go low, we go high”
The full quote is: “How we explain that when someone is cruel, or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level - no, our motto is, when they go low, we go high."
Thomas punched Clark in the throat & kneed her in the groin, but Thomas is the victim?! This level of delusion must be studied…

@Destiny32440233 Admit you don’t watch the games without saying it out loud. You are a dunce.
English
You right she gets more calls then anyone else . Someone breaths on her it’s a whistle . Someone tries to defend her it’s a whistle . Bye Stephanie if anything oh girl has a special whistle

Stephanie White on the officiating of Caitlin Clark: "We have a generational talent, and a WNBA superstar, who had two cheap shots that weren't called ... Absolutely unacceptable." "She is not called the same way everybody else is called."

@Isaac__NBA @kwhite901_ How many nba stadiums were needed and sold out prior to her in the entirety of the W before her? What were the viewership numbers? How many sports talk shows even mentioned the W? We’ll wait.
English
@kwhite901_ Games sold out all over the league that don’t involve her.

The “I never cared to watch the WNBA before Caitlin Clark came around” sentiment is the dumbest sh*t I ever heard. Thinking she’s the only player worth watching & she’s so special above the rest is a choice. It has no validity. Nothing she does makes her stand out as must see tv.
English
@WNBAZodiac She’s not running a hive mind. She’s a person trying to fit in where they don’t want her. We are angry for her bc she won’t say it herself. And why would we chill? So the bitter Bettys can beat the fight out of her in peace and obscurity? Nah, we’ll keep calling it out.
English
This is exactly why Caitlin Clark will never fully earn the respect of this league. She had the perfect opportunity to come out and tell her fanbase to chill, and she didn’t. Now Alyssa Thomas is suspended. The players see that and they will remember it

Breaking: Alyssa Thomas is suspended for one game after receiving a Flagrant foul 2 penalty for recklessly making contact with her fist to the throat area of Caitlin Clark, the WNBA announced.

@Justicesverdict You’re either making shit up to cope, or you’re outright and purposefully lying. So which one is it?
English
With the AT play last night I see a lot of people saying "Who gets up with closed fists?!" Well probably somebody who has no labrums in both arms.
An open-hand push bends the wrist back, forcing the shoulder socket to absorb a massive, rotating load, which can cause pinching or dislocation without labrum cartilage.
By using closed fists, AT locks her wrists straight. This bypasses the unstable shoulder mechanics, shifting the load to her triceps and chest instead of her damaged joints.
English
@Strange_Heros No, the rallying cry for her and her fans should be "shut up and leave!". We can work together and make it happen! We all want the same thing. Get her, her millions of fans and marketability out of there. The W was fine with handouts before and it'll be fine getting them after
English
We don't care.
Shut up and play ball.

"[Caitlin Clark] is not called the same way as everybody else is called. The fist in the throat is crazy. ... It's dangerous." Fever coach Stephanie White went off on the officials for not calling what she deemed two "cheap shots" on Clark. spr.ly/6014BDc3qj

@kdthompson5 @therealreadonly You found en embarrassing highlight...of the GREATEST SHOOTER IN BASKETBALL HISTORY and thought that meant he didn't play good basketball? I don't even have to say anything else, you just made fun of yourself and showed how little you actually know about the sport.
English
I'm actually writing something about this, so I won't spoil it.
But there's a very specific reason, IMO, that this subset of fans NEEDS CC to dominate women's basketball, to feel personally victimized when she isn't the center of everything.

"If I were Caitlin Clark, I would seriously consider going to play overseas somewhere and get the royal treatment…she's a straight white basketball player. And she is not being treated with any sort of respect" – Boomer Esiason
English
@hovah76 In the end, both sides have seen enough. We both want Clark out, but for entirely opposite and different reasons. I for one don't care about that, let's just work together to get her out of the W and into another existing league.
English
Listen man,
Caitlin Clark has been talking trash, taunting opponents, and inciting this type of violence.
This is not a white thing.
This is not a gay vs. straight thing.
This is not a jealousy thing.
This is none of the nonsense that you folks are assuming.
You look at ANY pro sport:
MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA, or WNBA.
Cocky players who taunt, provoke, and talk trash get HIT.
This is just collateral damage.
This is not the Big Ten.
These are the biggest, fastest, strongest, toughest, and meanest athletes in the WORLD.
You campaign long enough at THIS level, and eventually you will be selected.

@MrDrakeford @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever Let that be her fan's concern, right? Like I said, we both want the same thing. Just get her out. That should be the priority. What happens to her there will be ours and her problem, and you can just go back to no-drama W.
English
@CrouchingFierce @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever She goes overseas and then what? Nobody is waking up at 1 and 2am to watch her games , the same fans telling her to go overseas will be in bed knocked out and will never watch her play lol and what’s gonna happen when she gets fouled harder over there, her fans gonna fly over?
English
Dear @CaitlinClark22, you’ve garnered millions of fans who will gladly follow you to another league and country. Please leave this trash-ass @WNBA league and @IndianaFever organization, along with their hateful racist players, and play real basketball all elsewhere. Please.
English
@pannie317 @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever The intent behind the physicality is what concerns me…but at the end of the day, both sides want the same thing, right? So let’s work together and make it happen. Get Clark out of the W!
English
@CrouchingFierce @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever Nigga she won’t last another country they’re just as physical if not more
English
@2manPick @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever There are leagues in Europe. No one needs a new league. That’s stupid. We both want the same thing. You want your old W back and we want to watch Clark play ball. We can work together on this one. We are not enemies.
English
@CrouchingFierce @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever Lmao this the only fanbase who stupid ass fans cry for a new imaginary league when something happens to her 😂😂 you know how ridiculous y’all sound??
English
@TheNewMediaxx @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever Gladly! We all want the same thing. Let’s put our differences aside and agree to just pressure the W and Clark into leaving the league and playing elsewhere. I’m not your enemy, brother.
English
English
@MrBlack513 @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever That’s what I’m saying! I agree with you 100%. We both want the same thing. We both want her and her fans out. I’m with you entirely. Let’s work together, brother.

@JohnDav98280343 @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever Please point out the physicality those aforementioned players have suffered. I’ll wait. I can name once with Paige, and that’s it. Any others?
English
@CrouchingFierce @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever Ya’ll do know Olivia Miles, Sonia Citron, Paige Beuckers still here. Juju Watkins and Hannah Hildago coming next year. Instead making silly threats leaving the WNBA adapt to physical play!

@StilltheOG06 @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever Yes! Great idea! Let’s work together and make it happen. Get her out of the W and into a euro league. Get Clark out of the W should be our rallying cry.
English
@CrouchingFierce @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever Lmao oh yeah idiot. Go to Russian women’s basketball then. Clown
English
@QueenEsther328 @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever Yes! Let’s work together! We all want the same thing. You want your old WNBA back and we want to watch Clark just play actual skilled basketball. Let’s make it happen together!
English
@CrouchingFierce @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever PLEASE DO AND TAKE YOUR RACIST FANS WITH YOU BITCH!!!!
English
@JayMarz_007 @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever Cool. I’m down to see her get beat up because it’s physical and not because of jealousy, hate and racism. We both want the same thing. Let’s work together and get her out of the W.
English
@CrouchingFierce @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever 🤣🤣 euro is even more physical. She won't last a season
English
@MrDrakeford @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever I have, and I also know they pay just as much if not more for star power. That’s why Unrivaled was created, because big names kept going overseas. All I’m asking is for her to do the same, but permanently. We both want the same thing, brother. Let’s both make it happen
English
@CrouchingFierce @CaitlinClark22 @WNBA @IndianaFever If you think the W is physical lmaooo you haven’t seen how they play overseas 😂😂😂😂😂😂 just shut up cryin already
English
@PhoenixMercury Y’all must high off the latest CBA. Wait til ratings and sales drop because you employ and empower thugs and racists. Then you’ll be scratching your necks and asking for that handout from daddy NBA all over again.
