this whole situation has been dragged to Guantanamo and back and somehow the actual issue has gotten lost bc yall are blinded by the fact it’s Caitlin. the refs are ABYSMAL it WAS a flagrant 2 that should’ve been called IN the game and the refs should be penalized for missing it
this is hands down the best analysis and breakdown of how the racist language around the foul situation is tainting the heart of the problem: all players deserve to be called on fair officiating — and that has to start in the game. highly recommended read.
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.
