Same Duke player went after a security guard not long before this. Now I’m waiting for the same low iq commenters saying he must’ve been provoked.

I’ve seen this floating around since last night, but the part that breaks me is her staring up at him in fear. She’s just trying to do her job. Every girl knows this look and feeling all too well.

Athletes take note:

Never, I mean never, do this to an athletic trainer trying to attend to an injured player on the field.

[bonky @shesbonky]

We're not talking enough about THIS moment from the #Duke football game immediately after he struck her

She is AFRAID of him after the first hit and is now watching his face and keeping her arm up to attempt to protect herself from another blow from Kimari Robinson

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

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.

@jasonwhitlock She had a reason to be there, he was in the way. She moved him, as any male trainer would. He slapped her because she’s a girl. The whole interaction took time and attention away from his injured teammate. There’s no mixed feelings, he was wrong.

[Cazador @BlakeHPreston]

@jasonwhitlock My sister is an athletic trainer. Trainers take precedence on the field with injured players. Non injured players take a knee and get out the way. Standard practice since peewee. This kid is a brat who wants camera time. Get him off the field

[DiscoDawn🌼🍄 @dita_von_tweets]

@jasonwhitlock When your player is injured you are supposed to take a knee and give him space. Bro was hovering and liable to bump him which is is No-No for possible neck injury. Let professionals do their job. He is suspended rightfully

This is how you dismantle hate: When an Islamophobe bigot targeted his faith and questioned his loyalty, Abdul El-Sayed delivered a masterful response — invoking John F. Kennedy's historic legacy to firmly declare where his true allegiance lies.

A Duke player swatted a woman's arm away on live TV Saturday. Under NCAA rules, his own head coach isn't allowed to overrule her.

She's an athletic trainer. Back in 2016, the biggest conferences in college football passed a rule giving trainers and team doctors "unchallengeable autonomous authority" over medical decisions for injured players. Coaches can't override their calls, and they can't even be their boss anymore, since the rule pulled medical staff out of the coach's chain of command completely.

Brian Hainline, the NCAA's top doctor at the time, called it the most important piece of legislation in NCAA history. That sounds like a lot for a rule about trainers, until you hear why they needed it.

Trainers were getting steamrolled. Coaches wanted their guys back on the field, and the medical staff didn't always get the final word. Even three years after the rule passed, about a quarter of college athletic trainers told NATA they still didn't feel like they had real medical authority at their own school.

So think about what she's running into. A player is down and not moving. Every trainer is taught to treat that as a possible neck injury until they know otherwise. The 2020 guidelines for spine injuries in football basically come down to keeping that head and neck still, which means one person takes the head and everybody without a job in that circle backs up.

A teammate hovering over the pile is one more body that can bump him or get in the way. And in the third quarter of a rivalry game, with his ears stuck inside a helmet, a hand on the shoulder is honestly the fastest way to tell a guy to move.

Look, he was worried about his teammate. Anybody who's played knows that sick feeling when your guy isn't getting up. The most useful thing he could've done for him right then was take two steps back and let her work.

If Manny Diaz walked out there and shoved her aside on a medical call, Duke would be breaking NCAA rules. Somebody should probably let his cornerback know.

Whoopsy — CBS News(max) *reporter* @JanCBS deleted this tweet helping the bigoted attack on @AbdulElSayed

Sorry, Jan. The internet is forever.

[Paul Kingsbury @paul_kingsbury]

@JanCBS Actually your post was a violation of journalistic ethics. But maybe journalistic ethics don’t matter to you & @CBSNews anymore. 🤷‍♂️

[Judy Deebee @JudyDB1]

@JanCBS You should have deleted it on your own because you WERE LYING ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID. CBS making you delete it doesn't make it better. You are not credible and neither is CBS while you're still employed there.

[Jason @thesidetrack]

@JanCBS Fwiw Jan I thought El-Sayed's response was one of the most inspiring and authentically American things I heard from a candidate in years. Everyone should see it. The level of cooked your brain had to be to hear it as a "diatribe" warrants self reflection

[Clyde Morgan @clydefmorgan3rd]

@JanCBS Not good enough. We know your heart and willingness to indulge your own bigotry in giving air to a political operative you knew damn well was asking a dishonest question based on a political trope.
