    The most important lesson I got about editing is, you have to be a little dirty minded. So I wonder what really happened here.

    Anybody who takes issue with Chennedy Carter’s response desperately needs to get over themselves.

    You are not getting a better quote than “I ain’t answering no Caitlin Clark questions.”

    The WNBA is getting massive coverage over a cheap shot. That’s a win.

    It is, but at the same time Clark is getting hammered every game and there are a lot of non-foul or common fouls getting called, like in this situation. And Cheek has a history - it's pretty impressive to go from lottery pick to sitting out a season because nobody wants to deal with your bullshit in under 3 years.

    Viewership and attendance are way up. If they're not careful, they're gonna kill the goose the lays the golden egg.

    It was a cheap shot, no doubt, but it wasn’t like she undercut her on a layup. And the WNBA is an extremely physical league and Clark is a rookie who has the ball in her hand a lot. No need to protect her in bubble wrap.

    I don't think she needs to be protected in bubble wrap, and fully acknowledge it's a physical league, and yet she's still taking way more contact than she should. It's getting absurd.

    I value Lin Dunn's opinion and she coached ber players to be as physical as anyone:

    I get the emphasis and the intended sentiment. But I wonder if she realized she actually told us she was answering Caitlin Clark questions.:(

    Clark has knocked herself over harder than that whenever she runs into a pick she didn’t see.
