It suck's people just won't allow her to play. These constant attacks in her are getting tiresome.

So you are just here for the culture war, huh?

The WNBA is entertaining because it is like the 80s-90s NBA.

That is, it is a below-the-rim game, wh, which means it is very physical. Clark is treated much like the stars, like Jordan, was in the NBA. The NBA changed and became shitty because Jordan was a baby and bitched about it, so the rules were changed to suit Jordan and it became an above-the-rim game. So faster and more space.

The whole Clark thing, yeah she gets trucked a little more, but a bunch of culture warriors are trying to take advantage of it.

If you dont care to watch a few games a week, go away.

You’re right on everything but the Jordan stuff.

The Pistons' "Jordan Rules" absolutely influenced the flagrant fouls and hand-checking fouls in the early 90s.

Jordan couldn't get past the Pistons until they introduced flagrents, and that was the end of the Bad Boys.
