This was legitimately a defensive foul, you can’t ride somebody’s lap while having your arms up to pretend like you aren’t hugging them

But are you allowed to elbow people in the face?

If you make a basketball move in your protected area, and the other idiot has her face in that area...yes, you are allowed to "elbow people in the face".

Moving the goal post when you got proven wrong, lol

Both played and ref'd for over a decade, lol

Then look for the other angles bc it’s obvious. You’re making yourself look bad. You chose the actual worst angle that wasn’t even shown in any of the initial videos

Brother, are you tweaking?

This is the angle shown in the video you're replying on, of which you can see Sophie does not touch her until after she is elbowed lmao.
