Phoenix Mercury associate head coach Kristi Toliver showed support on Instagram for Alyssa Thomas, who was suspended for one game for punching Caitlin Clark in the throat.
She included a quote from Michelle Obama’s 2016 DNC speech: “When they go low, we go high”
The full quote is: “How we explain that when someone is cruel, or acts like a bully, you don't stoop to their level - no, our motto is, when they go low, we go high."
Thomas punched Clark in the throat & kneed her in the groin, but Thomas is the victim?! This level of delusion must be studied…
I had never watched the WNBA in my life until Caitlin Clark started playing.
Not because I was against it. I just never cared enough to turn it on.
Now I actually pay attention because she is fun to watch. She plays fast, she sees the court, she makes passes most people don’t even see coming, and she has made women’s basketball part of normal sports conversation in a way I have never seen before.
That should be a good thing.
Instead it feels like half the league is annoyed that she brought all these new eyes with her.
And I’m sorry, but the stuff she deals with is insane. Basketball is physical. I get that. Nobody needs to baby her. But there is a big difference between tough defense and the weird extra stuff that keeps happening.
The funniest part is Caitlin usually just gets up and keeps playing, which probably makes people even more mad.
She didn’t ruin the WNBA.
She made a whole bunch of people finally watch it. They need to be grateful.
I legit have never seen a business organization fumble a 💰 the way the WNBA has fumbled Caitlin Clark in my life. From WNBA media to podcasters to all her haters—whether you like her or not—you ALL talk about her daily because CC pays your bills. Admit it
@CathyEngelbert and the @WNBA is a JOKE 🤡🤡🤡they need to remember where their trash league was before CC entered it. #wnba@CaitlinClark22 is too good for this dirty league.
I’ve never tweeted about a poster before. 😂 There are far more important things. That said, I heard from a few of you and gave it a look. So I’ll just pose a question: have we ever seen a sports league — a business enterprise — actively try to not make as much money as possible?
I’ve never seen a league self-sabotage itself more on such a consistent basis. It’s almost as if they don’t want to succeed. Sucks for everyone involved especially the fans.
Within the next week, Alyssa Thomas will publicly complain about how mean fans have been to her, probably claim “racism”. It’s coming. Always a victim, even though she plays dirty.
Dear Trump voters,
If Trump considers releasing the Epstein files a "hostile act," how is this not a clear sign he is guilty?
Are you so lost in your cult that you are OK with Donald Trump raping children?
Woke up still distraught over last night but imma continue to keep Caitlin’s mental and physical health in my prayers. Really sucks what she has to deal with at such a young age but I know she’s always gonna overcome it and be alright 🙏🏾
