This is a big difference between men's team sports and women. You may have players on a team that do not like each other but if someone on an opposing team takes cheap shots at a fellow teammate, most of the time the bench clears. Men can check the egos for a few moments to protect the family. Women are caddy bitches.

That's what does it for you? For me it's the fact that they are God damn awful at basketball and females are just generally less athletic.

And some people were willing to at least give it a shot despite that.

Women don’t have that instinctive defensive nature over one another. Imagine a dude body checking someone like Clark got checked, would have been close to a full on brawl. No teammate even confronted the girl after the blind side shot


Remember when Reese was getting fouled last year and a fight almost broke out? Only one girl got up in the middle of it like she wanted to actually do something - Van Lith. The rest stood back and ran their mouth.

It’s not their job to.

This notion that CC has to be protected at all costs is fricking stupid. All the rookies are getting their “welcome to the WNBA” moments.

People would hate them more if they did this. Did you see what people were saying about Kamilla Cardoso when she shoved Flaujae Johnson?

They're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Some of the same people who accuse the NBA of being soft are apparently desperate to see suspensions left and right for any hard foul on Clark.

Forget that trash Reese.. why are they not protecting her? Somebody needs to go Dennis Rodman or Bill Laimbeer out there. These chicks can’t even get that right. Better protect the Golden Goose before everyone quits caring.


nobody does more talking to her and quiet coaching than Boston. Like hell, Boston works hard as hell to get her open and finish assists for her.

Blame the others,but dont blame Boston

There's no reason to assume this. They appear to be great teammates to her, especially Boston.

You know the people saying that have different reasons, such as the rules changes, how fouls are called etc. NBA is nothing like it was back when Rodman and others were laying down the law in the paint. Everyone knows this.

I think there is some truth to this but what they are really mad about is what appears to be racism, other forms of discrimination, double standards, and the refusal of her teammates to throw down for another teammate.

Ron Artest went into the stands because a fan threw a bottle at him. His teammates followed him. Yet - in the middle of the court, Clark's teammates abandon her.

In all my time in the military and in sports I've seen black guys go to war for white guys and white guys go to war for black guys - I don't see anyone going to war for Clark. No one respects that.

This is a seminal moment for the WNBA. If these players don't get it together, that league is done.

Have you not ever been around women?Scenario 1 Beautiful new woman walks into a group of friends both men and women. All the men jaws drop to the floor while their eyes bug out . All the women say "she's so fake and ugly. Dresses like a slut and wears too much make up". Another scenario: Women are talking. Woman #1 says to Woman #2," Hey, you look so beautiful today. Love that sweater. Where did you get it?" Woman #2 leaves. Woman #1 to Woman #3 " I can't stand that fake bitch". In a nutshell women are the most jealous, hateful creatures to one another on earth. Most all are insecure attention whores and can't stand another woman stealing their potential shine.

When that goon/thug (whose already been dismissed by numerous teams) shoved Clark to the ground during a break in the acton, non-basketball play....Boston ignored it and then all she did was reluctantly and slowly walk over to Clark to help her up. That's not a great teammate.

Clark is White, apparently straight, and very popular among fans. Not so much with the Lesbians and Sista's that dominate every aspect of the WNBA.

The opposite of guys - group of guys hanging out and run into an old buddy, hadn't seen in a while. They guys proceed to call him unflattering names, comments about his weight gain, loss of hair, etc.

The guy is giving it back, laughs all around and he departs. The other guys say "He's a great guy", the others all agree.
