If you touch water you are apprehended by police.
If you molest kids with Jeffrey Epstein you are moved to a luxury prison and considered for a pardon.
TRUMP’S AMERICA.
A fist to the throat. A suspension that is way too lenient. My @usatodaysports column on what Alyssa Thomas and other WNBA players have done to Caitlin Clark, the most famous, marketable and important women’s pro team sport athlete in history.

🔥Hold up…A closer look at the dirty play by Alyssa Thomas last night w/ a new angle — Wait for the freeze + zoom on each.
- Knee to the groin
- Pinches her underarm
- Fist to the throat
- Attempt to stomp on her (she moved)
Why do @WNBA players hate Caitlin Clark so much? 🤯
If the WNBA wants to be taken seriously, Alyssa Thomas needs to be suspended from the league in perpetuity. This is their opportunity to make a statement not only about the safety of Caitlin Clark, but about the safety of all players. There is no coming back from this.
@WNBA
There truly is no point for Caitlin Clark to continue playing in the WNBA while the league allows her to be assaulted on a nightly basis. The Alyssa Thomas fist to the neck, groin shot, and then unnecessary step over is one of the dirtiest plays youll ever see and is unacceptable
@MitchSchwartz71 Bull crap and you know it! This isn’t football and kneeing someone in the groin, hitting ribs, and then putting a fist to the throat is not a basketball move, it’s assault!
@justwsports You mean they were going to play thug ball just like AT said on Monday night. Asslting Clarkis just too much! Enough is enough. Thug ball is ridiculous and if the WNBA won’t do anything then maybe Clark needs to file a lawsuit for not protecting players.
People are talking about suspension. That's not severe enough. There should be no place in the league for a person willing to go for someone's throat. Early retirement is calling.
@hovah76 Wow! Rose colored glasses much! That was an assault and to say she incites this is like saying a women asked to be abused because she didn’t cook the right food. The teams know that the refs don’t call many fouls on CC or the Fever and so they are aggressive ever game. Jeez
@usasports Maybe they would have had the passes and energy that CC brings and the Mercury wouldn’t have gathered the momentum but yeah, CC wouldn’t have helped at all 🙄
Doesn't matter if it's CC or a developmental player; you can't do this in professional sports and expect your athletes to stay healthy. A suspension is the only answer.
@RGIII That was an assault. The side angle shows AT kneeing her in the groin, hit to the ribs, a throat punch then CC avoided a foot stomp at the end. If the WNBA is serious, then they would suspend AT and start protecting all players, and not just teams minus the Fever.
