You ever just sit in a dark room and feel like the darkness is the only thing that truly understands you. No fake smiles, no false hope. Just raw bitter silence…
"She touched him first, so he can touch her back."
This isn't preschool. There's no "she started it" on a football field.
She moved him to reach an injured player. He swatted her to make a point. One of those had a medical purpose. The other one didn't.
If your argument works on a playground and nowhere else, it's not an argument.
the Duke football situation is very telling about who has been and contributed on a football sideline and who hasn’t. Sports Medicine professionals, former coaching staff, and former legit players all know the player was out of line
The misogynists in the comments.
I worked at a university with a large PT & athletic training program. Players know not to act like this.
The woman was 100% in the right & if you’re defending the player you need to reeducate yourself on health protocols.
First step…clear the perimeter
I think many don’t realize
1) how loud it is out there - there’s no “excuse me sir can you kindly step aside”
2) the urgency of the situation when condition is unknown
3) the NCAA officially grants "unchallengeable autonomous authority" to primary athletics healthcare providers including ATCs
The downed athlete is the priority and any non-medical staff are simply in the way.

I asked my dad, a former D1 football player, what he thinks of this situation. He couldn’t believe men are actually defending Kimari over the trainer. He said their team had the utmost respect for all the trainers and med staff. Players get away from the situation and take a knee until they are given further direction.
No Jason, she’s doing her job. I appreciate his concern but he needs to stay the hell out of the way and NEVER, EVER lay his hands on a medical staff member! ESPECIALLY a female!
The amount of people defending an adult man for pushing a woman away from trying to do her job so said man can stand and stare at his teammate is crazy. Yall are either so fucking stupid or you don’t like women bc there is no scenario in which she’s in the wrong
For the record, if I was a coach and a player ever swatted at and struck ANY medical personnel, let alone a woman, and then made it a point to further obstruct medical efforts, I'd immediately dismiss him.
Yall Chris Brown mfers defending this are weird
