Message: [QUOTE="JstVisiting, post: 4909534, member: 9363"] What problem? Standing up for your teammate is fine. First post up of the game, ESPN showed replays of and praised Reese for running her mouth to Cardoso, and you can see Cardoso literally laugh it off. When her hair was pulled, she looked to the refs (in vain) but didn’t do anything. On the next possession, Reese picked up the Flagrant 1 for the contact to her head and Kamilla didn’t do anything. She no doubt heard and saw things to teammates throughout. When FJ followed up the frustration intentional with the frustration shove, Cardoso shoved her back. Big deal. She was thrown out, as she should have been. Swinging elbows in traffic or at a head is a problem, and the officials ignored that while the announcing crew highlighted the elbow while yucking it up about the player’s “intensity” (Morrow). That’s a problem. Pushing someone who pushed a teammate is not. Same day, there was a shoving match in an NBA game. Stuff happens. I swear, I think some ITT have never played or watched sports before. [/QUOTE]
